Christina is very personable in her consultation; however, she spent 1.5 hours telling me about all the awards she has won, how she has been recognized "internationally", etc. We spent 15 minutes watching a video (that is on her website) of a wedding that she did (could have watched it anytime) and about 15 minutes telling me what services she can offer to me for my daughter's wedding.
Here's the kicker: At the END of the conversation, she said she would invoice me $250 for the consultation!
In all of the correspondence I received prior to this from her and her "Executive Assistant" was there every any mention of a $250 consultation fee. In fact, (and I screenshot the messages) I was told it was a "free" consultation.
She may be all that she says she is, however, with the shady practice of telling me at the VERY END that there was a $250 fee for this Zoom consultation, I am afraid there may end up being much more I would be unexpectedly charged for if I hired her.
Needless to say, I will not be hiring this vendor due to poor business practices.
Christina's organizational skills were second to none! Thank you for all you've done for us and bring such a critical part of our day. Your team was great as well. Love you
I attended the oct 5 wedding that’s was handled by heaven sent wedding consultants they do a great job paying attention to all details big or small they really care about the clients and making sure they have the best wedding day possible they truly are heaven sent
Christina Maddox and her team at Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants made our wedding day one for the books. I did never had to worry about anything. They are incredibly professional, punctual, accommodating, sensitive to the day, considerate of your experience of the wedding planning process, and ensure that you and your beloved enjoy your special day! Not to mention, their brilliance and creativity. They helped realize dreams I didn’t even know I had...BEAUTIFUL!!!! I’m a huge fan!
Heaven sent wedding consultants did an amazing job with my wedding. I had no stress and it was a great experience. My floral arrangements were PERFECT. Christina told me that her number one rule, NO STRESSED BRIDES! Lol she meant it and I was not stressed one bit. My wedding was everything i hoped for. I appreciate these ladies for the professionalism, laugher, prayer and joy!
They were really great, thinking about every little detail before and during the day. Also, they kept the whole day on schedule, which is really nice.
Known for attention to detail and exceptional service, Heaven Sent is a one stop shop!
Give them a call, you won’t be disappointed.
OMG! The best wedding planner ever. Super organized and my sister and now brother in law didn’t have to worry about a thing. Food was delicious and entertainment was really fun. Deff a memory never to be forgotten.
I had the pleasure of attending a wedding that was a Heaven Sent production and it was phenomenal, breath taking an absolute 10 star event, it almost made me want to marry my wife of 18 years all over again. Definitely a 10 star wedding planner.
We are so thankful for Heaven Sent. I don’t know what I would have done without Christina and her team in the planning and preparation of my daughter’s wedding.
They didn’t miss a beat from beginning of the planning to the wedding day.
I loved their attention to detail, they are so knowledgeable and creative. They made wedding planning stress free!!!
Thank you so much Christina ❤️❤️

Christina Maddox and her team of experts are amazingly gifted. Their greatest work is displayed when given the opportunity to demonstrate creative designs based upon your expressed desire. We simply told Heaven Sent Consultants what we imagined and like magic, they made it happen!
I am a local djay (Mike Hurt Entertainment) in the tri-state area. I have worked with numerous wedding planners in my 25 years of service. Heaven Sent Consultants are THE BEST OF THE LOT. Christina Maddox and her crew are very professional and show a great courtesy to the preferred vendors and clients. # 1 IN MY BOOK. MH
Christina and her team are amazing. They will do whatever needs to be done to make your event perfect. Without her I don’t think my day would have went so smooth. She stays current with all the styles and can provide you with vendors who will give you what you want and need.
I am a photographer and work with a number of wedding planners, coordinators, and consultants. Never have I experienced the level of passion and attentiveness as provided by Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants. Christina and her team have been phenomenal to work with throughout the planning process up to the final moments of every event.
People!.. if you are not sure you want to add the expense of a planner to your budget, I implore you to INVEST in your own sanity and peace of mind so you can enjoy your big day. Planning an event is a major undertaking. There are so many decisions to make... so many appointments to attend... It can be overwhelming.
Let Christina and her team utilize their experience, style, and connections to help you create a unique event that aligns with your vision without all of the stress. Let her narrow down the options... follow up with the florist... check on the linens... confirm delivery times... Let them answer impromtu question after question on the day of your event to keep you from any unnecessary drama that would otherwise interrupt you enjoying your time with your guests.
If you choose to make the investment, choose Heaven Sent Weddings.
I love my Heaven Sent brides.
Christina and her staff are very professional. She takes the time to listen to your dream event and gives excellent suggestions on her vision of that magical day.
Thank you so much
I have been working with Ms. Christina since March 2018 and I must say, she is very good at what she does. She is meticulous about every detail to ensure she and her team produces the best even for her client. I encourage everyone who has an upcoming event to use Ms. Christina. She will make your dream event into a reality.
I wanted to write this review about the exceptional experience I had when I accompanied my wife to a bridal show/expo that was done by Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants. We went as a favor to help my cousin find vendors and ideas for her wedding. The first thing I want to commend the owner Christina and her staff for was the level of professionalism in the way that they conducted themselves throughout the entire event. The staff was very receptive and easy to talk to; we learned so much from talking to them. I had a million questions and they answered them all. There was such a great selection of photographers, DJs, videographers, locations, florists and bands. I later learned that the majority of the vendors have been working with Christina for many years and were selected by her to be at the event. My wife and I even joked how if we were getting married that we would have to use Heaven Sent to plan our wedding but how hard it would be to choose from the great vendors that they are aligned with Heaven Sent. I left the event with such great information to give to my cousin, thanks to the staff of Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants.
Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants are very professional, very knowledgeable, and truly know how to put the wedding of your DREAMS together. It’s almost unbelievable how Christina can have a conversation with you, get to know you just a little bit, and know exactly what you’re looking for. And when she executes it, you are overwhelmed with joy. There are no other wedding consultant that I would use.
Christine Maddox is the best that ever did it she dots every eye and crosses all her Ts. She has an eye like no other. Personality Plus. Her staff gives you 150 percent. Once they plan your wedding it will go down in history. She has been doing this for 17 years so that in itself speaks volume. To know her is to love her. Book a consultation and find out for yourself.
professional, dependable and helpful!!
They are professional and will work with you to achieve the desired results for your wedding.
I was impressed with Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants. I had the opportunity to attend their wedding expo event this summer and it was five star. They offer everything you need to plan your special day. Kristina Maddox and her team were great. I highly recommend using Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants to any bride to be!
Christina Maddox is not only a self-starter in the event planning industry, she has literally taken over the industry.

Furthermore, Christina has a business reach that crosses the country and internationally expands the globe.

Christina and team from Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants were amazing at helping my wife and me prepare for our wedding. The first time I experienced Christina's work was at my sister's wedding. Did they an exceptionally professional and perfect work that I had to use her for my special day. The Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants service was nothing less of professional, organized and everything was specially tailored to meet our needs.
Thank you again.
Heaven Sent is the most professional wedding consultant out there. The work is top notch and the staff is second to none. If you want your big day to be memorable the only choice is Heaven Sent!!
Christina did an outstanding job with my daughter's wedding in August, 2012. She and her staff were professional in every way. I was just thinking about my daughter's 6th anniversary last month and what a great time we had. Christina was always there when we needed her. She handled everything in a timely manner. She became a member of our family because of her kind and caring attitude. On the day of the wedding she made sure that everything was in the right place. She took excellent care of my daughter and her bridal party. Right before the reception she took my daughter and helped her change into her second gown. She looked like a Greek Goddess. All of the guests talked about how professional looking Christina and her staff were. They were very attentive to everyone's needs. I had nothing to worry about except being the Mother of the Bride. They were there until the last guest left. They helped load all of the gifts into my vehicle and made sure that my daughter and son-in-law had everything. I would highly recommend Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants to anyone planning a wedding!!! Unfortunately, I only have one daughter, so I will not be planning another wedding. Don't hesitate to contact Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!
Heaven Sent Consultations is a jewel of a wedding planning company! It helped me to visualize my dream wedding and offered a feasible budget. The owner has a positive, easy-to-work-with spirit!
On March 25, 2018 I attended a wedding and bridal expo hosted and organized by Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants. The expo was held at the Marriott Hotel in Philadelphia. I normally do not write reviews but I felt that this expo went against the grain and has left such a lasting impression on me that I will never forget the name Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants.
Firstly there was adequate parking at the hotel so there was no need for me to take a train or bus to get there and I did not have to pay for parking. When I walked in I was greeted by the friendly staff who gave me a card to fill out with as much my information as I was willing to share seeing as how I did not preregister for the event. This wedding and bridal expo had a different flair to it as compared to other expos I have attended. This expo showcased all the vendors that are under the Heaven Sent Wedding Consultant umbrella. It was a one stop shop but I was not confined to just one person if I chose to work with Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants I had choices. There were 3 cake vendors and each had cake samples. There were no florists, however there were beautiful floral arrangement displayed as centerpieces on the tables and the bouquets that the brides boast in the fashion show were designed and arranged by the Heaven Sent Wedding Consultant staff who worked with real flowers. The two disc jockeys both playing alternately, but not competitively which I thought was so impressive; I did not feel as if I was at the battle for the band expo. There was a bunch of food vendors that had samples, much to my delight their samples were quite tasty especially for someone like myself who has a very spice driven palette.
The excitement of the fashion show was electrifying, while we enjoyed the procession of cutting-edge ensembles of the bride and groom, we were educated about the brands, fabrications, and accessories parading before us. Each bouquet accented the bridal style. There was even an undergarment expert on hand and menswear experts. There were also venue representatives.
I thought this was a very well organized and thought out bridal and wedding expo, I was very impressed with what I saw that day. I do not think I am going to be disappointed in choosing Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants to plan my next big event.
My wedding at the Four Season Hotel in Philadelphia was one of the most beautiful day of my life thanks to the team of Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants especially the owner and seasoned wedding planner Christina Maddox. When I was researching wedding planners to help me put into reality the vision I had for my wedding I wanted the best. Christina Maddox is one of the best wedding planners around with 14 years of experience under her belt and she planned 237 successful weddings including mine.
The Heaven Sent team was very professional, prompt, graceful, positive and efficient. They alleviated all the pressures I had as bride to plan a wedding. I was a stress free bride! That is rare! Christina's motto is: I do not have a stress out bride on my watch!
My husband and I are so glad we hired Heaven Sent Wedding Consultants to plan our special day and it was indeed a very special, elegant, fun and memorable day thanks to Christina and her great team.
