be. Throughout the 1.5 years of planning, Christen’s attention to detail and thoughtfulness made my experience with wedding planning very stress free. If I could get married all over again just to have another opportunity to work with Christen I would!

edding day, Christen was professional, attentive, and made sure my vision came to life. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and takes the stress out of wedding planning, Look West Events is the perfect choice!

de our wedding day go so smoothly and stress free. Even though we only had her for 90 days she went above and beyond with her job. She made periodic check ins during the months prior to see how everything is going and even gave me her opinion on bridesmaid dresses! She is so passionate about her job and serving her clients.

d Christen made sure to have every detail outlined to a T in a spreadsheet that was readily accessible. She worked extremely well with the priest and with Hotel Vin’s staff to coordinate even the most minor of details. She was always so flexible, professional, kind, and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. I would highly recommend Christen to all of my friends and family members getting married in the future. You will love working with her!❤️❤️

d welcome party went so smoothly ! We highly recommend Christen!

for our daughter’s wedding with a ceremony at St Patrick’s Cathedral and reception at The Drover in Ft. Worth, Texas. Christen is incredibly organized, focused, professional, genuine, kind and understood our daughter’s vision along with her fiancé, who both loved working with Christen. Her attention to detail is amazing, thinking of everything with several things we never thought of that definitely made the wedding day flow seamlessly. I know the contact at our church and at The Drover found her to be easy to work with and kept every detail on track, with great communication across all our vendors. Christen absolutely made what could be a hectic stressful day a relaxed and beautiful day for our families and friends. I would give her a 10 out of 10 rating! We had so much trust with Christen that we never worried for one minute about anything the day of the wedding. The groom’s parents also used Christen to assist with a large rehearsal dinner they arranged the night before. They were as thrilled with Christen as we were with the services she provided for their event. It was a total win/win for both families having Christen assist us with our wedding weekend! We can’t thank Christen enough for all she did to make our daughters wedding such a special day ❤️

ed focused on what mattered to us. She was responsive, authentic, organized, and creative, and she gave us tons of great advice. I never once had to worry about missing something or a ball being dropped. She was the best and I can't thank her enough. She is wonderful and her vendor partners were as well. The event was beautiful and went perfectly! Thanks to Christen!

Communication is key when it comes to wedding planning / coordination, and Christen excels in clear and effective communication. She goes out of her way to accommodate your schedule.

At the same time, she will keep you honest and on track with the planning process, making sure you have everything covered from booking vendors to key song selections to having an extra slice of cake sent home with you at the end of the night. She leaves no stone unturned and, as a result, you can feel your stress about the big day melt away after each planning session with her. Most importantly, Christen is a genuinely kind and wonderful person. She truly takes the time to get to know you as a couple and checks in throughout the process to make sure you are feeling okay and are taking time to enjoy all the little moments along the way. She will regale you with stories from weddings past that will make you laugh hysterically. Ultimately, she excels at making you feel at ease which is an exceptional skill of hers. Hiring Christen is the best use of any money you put towards your wedding. Call her today!

r hard work came to life on our wedding day! She took care of things that we didn't even think of, and made the ENTIRE process look so easy! As a couple who had a very short engagement, Christen came in and absolutely BLEW us away by how efficient and quick she is! We never had to worry about things getting done, or forgetting ANYTHING, it was amazing. Not only that, but she is incredibly charismatic and friendly, she could get along with just about anyone! Her sweet and fun personality was able to calm all my fears and anxiousness about our big day. My husband and I were definitely set up for success as soon as we booked her. If you are looking for someone who will come alongside you and your spouse on your very-special-day, we would absolutely recommend her! 🤩

time together, Christen has been unbelievably kind, understanding and a beaming light of brightness and positivity! Her planning documents are top of the line and make it impossible for you to miss a single detail. She is an A+ communicator and made sure every detail with the vendors were worked out well ahead of time. Whenever I was confused or overwhelmed about something (which was a lot), she was committed to helping me sort it out and encouraged me always! Our wedding day went perfectly and Christen made it flow so seamlessly like the professional that she is. She effortlessly handled family members, vendors, deliveries and so much more while keeping a big smile on her face. She is so well planned that I could enjoy my wedding day and knew that she would take care of the rest. You will need a captain on your wedding day and she is the best there is! She is a diamond in the rough and I really wish that I had more events for her to plan because she is just THAT good at what she does. Thank You Christen!!!!! One million stars!

cess and she always responded promptly. She gave great advice and vendor recommendations. She also helped with signs and table numbers for our wedding day, which was such an appreciated plus. Our wedding day went so smoothly and I have received so many compliments on how well organized the event was. My husband and I were able to be fully present in our wedding day thanks to Christen! She is also just a fun and delightful person to have around which is what you want on your wedding day!

but also was so kind, patient, and caring through it all! It’s been a few months since my wedding and we still regularly bring up how Christen truly was our angel that day and the day would not have been what it was without her! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

wers and Christen met with several florists until we found the one who actually understood my vision and blew it out of the water. I don’t know how I would have planned my wedding without her. I can be indecisive yet she made it super easy. She also has ALL the connections and has creative ideas that will set your event apart from others! Thank you for planning the wedding of my dreams! I will definitely be hiring Christen again for my next event!

seamless. Christen also had wonderful advice, helping direct us to reliable vendors, seamless timelines and details that mattered most!

d with her. We hired her as a day-of coordinator and she did so much more than that. She kept me on task, thought of EVERY detail, and made the most perfect day-of timeline. She was incredibly responsive and helpful on everything and really went above and beyond to make sure our wedding and reception were flawless. I'm super type-A (control-freak, always stressed), and because of Christen, I was able to go into my wedding week feeling totally stress-free . I knew she had everything handled and I knew exactly what I needed to do every step of the way because of her detailed direction. I woke up the day after my wedding and looked at my husband and said "I don't think I was stressed ONCE yesterday" and I fully attribute that to Christen's perfect planning and execution. If you are even thinking of hiring a planner or coordinator, JUST HIRE CHRISTEN. She was the best money we spent on our wedding. I'll also note that she was super helpful in connecting us with other vendors (like our amazing photographer, Yoder & Co), and she had great advice when we had questions on ANYTHING. She's the best in the business and I couldn't recommend someone more!

r to plan my own. I purchased the 90 day package, but Christen was immediately ready and willing to start planning out our schedule when I asked about it. She is so kind, and a wonderful listener and truly wants to make your day the best. She’s also firm with vendors if there’s an inconsistency in their contracts and even empowered me to push back for what I wanted (and it worked)! She was very patient, professional, and positive with a difficult vendor on my wedding day. She prioritized peace over her pride on my big day. She was my emotional support during some pre-wedding day meltdowns and insecurities, andI couldn’t be more grateful for her. PLEASE hire Christen. She will fight for you and make your wedding beautiful, comfortable, memorable, and as easy as a wedding can be for a couple. Thank you, Christen!

you need to hear it, and is very well organized. I seriously don’t know how people go through a wedding without a planner (and not lose some hairs)! She is your personal hype woman and knows when to keep you on track. The planning phase with Christen was so thorough and easy with how she conducts things. She thinks of everything, and every minute. Seriously, you will get an itinerary down to the exact minute even if it’s 2-5 minute items. She also creates the family shot list to make it easy (my least favorite part which went quick), a pack list for you, and she will also bring her own supplies just in case like a steamer, safety pins, etc. Our wedding day went so smoothly, and when there were hiccups (that weren’t of her fault but due to some of my family members), Christen always let us be in control of the final say because she knows it’s our wedding day and she will delegate and execute as necessary. She is everywhere at the same time but also there by your side when you need her. I really got to enjoy every single moment happy and soaking in every moment from my wedding day because of Christen. And it’s just her!! No assistants or anything. If you are looking for a planner who is well organized, easy to communicate with, and very experienced, Christen is your wedding planner!

ndly, the BEST wedding planner you can hire is Christen with Look West Events. I was a graduate student with a full-time job at the time of planing my wedding, and there is no way I would have been able to handle everything without the help of Christen. She has an invaluable wealth of knowledge and experience with venues, possible vendors, and anything else you can think of. She operates with a level of professionalism that far exceeds expectations and does such a good job communicating with everyone involved. There were several times other vendors complimented how organized and put together Christen was. I was able to completely trust Christen with anything I needed throughout the whole process and she was such a warm, kind, and funny spirit that helped everything to be stress free!! My wedding planning experience and wedding day went without a hitch and that is a testament to Christen as a planner.

so fun and easy to work with! We love her! Highly recommend!

for over a year and did not worry about one single thing! The wedding went perfectly, everything was stress free and as Mother of the Bride, that was HUGE! Christen is a wonderful person and wedding planner. She is kind, lovely, thoughtful, smart, detail oriented, resourceful, persistent and extremely dependable. I highly recommend Christen. I could not have been more pleased with her service. Her knowledge, experience and expertise were exactly what we were looking for!

rue. There is not one person I could thank enough for everything she did for me. Christen is the most genuine person and is willing to do WHATEVER you need. She was very organized throughout the process and ensured I knew what I needed to do next. If I couldn’t do it, she was the first to step in and tell me she could help! She made everything so smooth and easy for my family and me. On the wedding day, everyone was able to relax and enjoy the day because of Christen. I never had to second guess if everything was done because Christen knew my vision and how I wanted everything set up. She helped ensure the family and guests were having a great time. When I think about the wedding day, it wouldn’t have been the same without the Look West Events Team. I am so thankful and if you are thinking about booking Christen DO IT because she WORTH IT!!

to our big day. I cannot imagine having anyone else by our side on our wedding day. She was highly organized, friendly, calm, excited for us, and went the extra mile to be prepared. My fiancé and I are extreme “type-As”. It was such a relief to have someone that not only helped us sleep at night the days before our wedding, but that I could also trust to do everything better than we could imagine. Because of her, we were able to relax and have fun! She answers every email quickly and thoroughly, was great about reaching out to help us to get tasks done on time without adding stress, and brought an assistant and two interns ensuring there was a person in place every moment. Most of all, Christen is THE BOMB to have around on your wedding day. She felt like an extra (very organized) bridesmaid who was just as happy for me as my friends. She held my dress, repaired my garter, and made me feel special all day. Thank you, Christen! You are a gem, inside and out. When looking for a wedding planner, find someone you want to actually spend your wedding day with. I highly recommend Christen and the Look West Events team.

om afar. Christen is so organized, setting up appointments before I even could tell her, and her monthly meetings seriously kept us on schedule. She was so patient and helpful and just an angel throughout the entire planning process. On our actual wedding day, we and our families had nothing to worry about because they all knew LWE had everything under control - everything went so smooth and easy and allowed us to truly enjoy the day. Christen was supportive and listened to our vision, never once steering us away from our random ideas. She guided us through every step of the process, provided amazing vendor recommendations, and just the absolute best. We highly recommend hiring Look West Events for any and all occasions!

n and I worked together in a previous life and she had since left to become a wedding planner. We talked and within days she had a list of photographers, restaurants, etc complied. The elopement went off without a hitch. Everything went like clock work. Christen and the whole experience could not have gone better. She is a joy to work with!

do you get a wedding planner, you get a new friend! She will give you peace of mind and all the support you could ever need and more. She cheers you up when you’re overwhelmed and makes sure you know everything is going to be ok. You don’t have to worry about anything slipping through the cracks while planning because Christen keeps track of everything! While she wasn’t able to be there on my big day (since she was about to have her wonderful baby boy) she had her two awesome assistants Debbie and Sonja there for me. They kept my wedding on schedule in a relaxed way and made sure me and my husband had everything we needed. I am so thankful I met Christen and I cherish the beautiful wedding she helped plan everyday. She’s worth every penny - and more!

ing the timeline) was organized and in line so that we could actually take in and enjoy our day. We truly appreciated her ability to effectively communicate with all of our vendors. Christen went above and beyond and we absolutely love her. Recommending her to all of my girlfriends that are engaged!

en came on to help us plan and coordinate our small 40-person wedding 2 months before the big day. From the moment we hired her, she was our partner in the process. She is an excellent communicator, is extremely organized, and highly resourceful. She helped us work through any challenges that came up. For example, 2 days before our wedding we found out that our ceremony arch plans fell through, and Christen found us a beautiful back-up arch in less than 24 hours! She makes it clear that her priority is to make the process as stress-free as possible for the couple, and she definitely exceeded that goal! We love Christen, and VERY highly recommend her!

Not only is she the most friendly, caring, and empathetic person, but she is an AMAZING coordinator as well. She was always supportive and consistent with communication, which made me feel like everything was taken care of leading up to the big day. If anything went wrong on the wedding day we had no clue, and because Christen had every little detail handled we were able to just have so much fun and not have to worry about a thing. Our vendors, friends, and family all commented on how amazing and sweet she was, and how she made sure everyone was taken care of. If you are thinking of booking Christen for your wedding, do it! -The O'Connors

f the way. We did month of coordination but with delays and rescheduling we ended up working with Christen for a little over a year. We felt supported from the very beginning and thanks to Christen being very communicative we always felt like we were all on the same page. Her experience and expertise helped us make a number of key decisions that led to a perfect day. One example is her telling us the hair and makeup timeline we had was unrealistic and we should consider bringing on assistants; she was right because even with the extra help we ran a little bit over! So grateful for that tip amongst others. Also really appreciate that she had so many good recommendations for other vendors. Per my dad “Christen was everywhere at once”. Not once during the day was I worried, because I knew Christen was handling everything. She kept me up-to-date but only with essential information and made sure things were running smoothly. Many of our guests commented on how well things flowed and Christen is a big reason for that. In addition to looking after us at the wedding she also took care of our families and we all really appreciated that. Not only would I recommend Christen to anyone looking for a coordinator/planner, but all my vendors would as well. My photographers, DJ, florist, can venue captain comments on how great Christen was to work with. Thank you, Christen!

is the BEST wedding gift you can get yourself before your big day. Build Christen into your budget and you will be so glad you did. I hired Christen as my wedding coordinator and I am genuinely blown away by everything that she did for me in the year and a half that I got to work with her. She was recommended by B. Marie's Flowers- who raved about her services! Besides the fact that her package was an exceptional value Christen was organized, enthusiastic, and AUTHENTIC from our very first phone call. Between phone calls, texts, Zoom calls, and lots of updating spreadsheets Christen was incredibly patient with me throughout the process which gave me so much confidence going into my big day! I would highly recommend Christen for your planning needs for so many reasons but if you need some standout benefits: -She contacted every single one of my vendors two weeks before my wedding which meant I didn't have to do a thing- and ladies let me tell you two weeks before your wedding contacting people is the last thing you will want to do! Huge weight off your shoulders. -The timeline Christen builds for your "day of" will put you at ease and is incredibly detailed- nothing is missed and is mapped out every 30 minutes. -Christen will help with decor/setup on your big day and while you're getting dolled up she's running around (with a big smile on her face) as she makes sure that your vision comes to life -Christen LISTENS and genuinely cares about your wedding vision. She's emotionally invested and it shows in her work. Cheers to amazing wedding vendors like Look West Events :D

e vendors. Got a budget in mind? She'll keep to it. Your vision? She's on it. We fell into the category of "COVID couple" - and planning a wedding twice (or in our case, thrice) over, after several venue cancellations, I don't think I could have done it without her. She saved my sanity, kept me on track to get everything done (I am a DIY'er of sorts and had many-many-many projects) -- or she did them herself -- and made everything so easy. At the wedding, she was cool, calm, & collected. I never expected my wedding would come together so flawlessly. Christen made it so simple! I cannot express my gratitude enough to her!

! The caterer, bartenders, DJ, officiant, floral arrangements, and event rentals were all recommended and coordinated by Look West, and each of them met or exceeded our expectations. Having her there on the day of the event was absolutely critical. We are truly blessed to have found her when we did.

e always professional she was extremely personable. Christen genuinely cares about making the wedding special. I never felt like just a client. Because of her the day ran smoothly and stress free. Her assistant Debbie was helpful and very positive. Debbie was always smiling and made sure everyone was enjoying the day.

l of my requests updated with them. The day of my wedding all I had to do was get married and have a good time. She took care of the rest.

n't thank her enough for her patience and warm spirit. My wedding was absolutely beautiful and if there were any snafus... i had NO idea b/c she handled everything. Having Christen as your right hand gal is the best decision you can make to ensure your event is simple, easy, and perfect.

DJ, photographer, and venue were all working off the same sheet of music to make it all seamless. I did happen to forget my tux, but like the trooper she is, she helped rearrange the schedule with her calm demeanor. My bride was able to focus on getting ready without worrying about the fact I had to speed home and back. We truly could not have done it without Christen.

er, I knew from the moment I spoke with Christen on the phone, she was genuine and charismatic, and she didn't make me feel like we would be just another wedding on her list. She took an immediate interest in my personal life and was meticulously organized with everything throughout the entire process from our initial consultation phone call to packing up our belongings at the end of our wedding night. She honestly became a friend throughout the entire planning process. Every vendor we worked with had nothing but positive things to say about Christen, from our venue coordinators to our bartenders to my makeup artist to our photographer. They all raved that to me that she sent them such detailed information and absolutely loved her energy on the day of the wedding. We owe the smoothness of the day to her preparation and follow up with vendors. Truly, our wedding day was perfect. I was able to relax and enjoy the wedding day with my mom and my bridesmaids because Christen handled every single detail of the day with an energetic smile on her face, which is exactly what I had hoped for. If you are wanting a stress-free wedding day that you can really soak in (because it truly DOES speed by), you've found the right person in Christen!

s assisted my fiance and I in venue tours, vendor meetings, budget tracking, anything and everything we could have possibly had on our list to get done, she was there with working hands and open arms. We've recently had to postpone our wedding date due to the pandemic and with as much stress as we were under, Christen was our saving grace. She is meticulous in details, knowledgeable in the industry, and just the sweetest soul! Though our wedding day is not until early 2021, we cannot imagine working with anyone else but Christen at Look West Events!

, she not only makes you feel like a priority, but she also does everything in her power to make sure your day is as smooth and seamless as possible. She is incredibly detail oriented, and nothing goes unnoticed by her organized mind. She put together the most helpful budget tracker for me and was readily available anytime I needed guidance or even just some emotional support along the way. She is also very communicative with vendors and makes sure that everyone is on the same page and aware of the wedding timeline far in advance! This experience would not have been the same without her!! If you are looking for wedding planning services, I HIGHLY recommend Look West Events. Hands down the best service you will ever receive!

hat I would take the lead on my wedding plans. However, I also knew that I wanted to enjoy my day! So, I decided to use a day-of coordinator. I feel so lucky to have found Christen because I truly felt like she cares about my experience as much as I did. And I think that says a lot about her:) On my wedding day, between my photographer and my coordinator, I truly enjoyed myself and was able to soak up the day! Christen took the time to get to know me and what I wanted. She gave me excellent advice! From the first interaction to the last, I was heard...I was cared for. She checked in with me often and was patient with me and my busy schedule. On my wedding day, she brought me cookies, got us food, and made sure that everything was where it needed to be. Had I not made last minute changes AT THE RECEPTION, she would have made sure that everything went according to the timeline we created.lolololol Yep, I changed stuff up but she just went with it. She also made sure to get as much stuff packed up and back to my home at the end of the night so that we didn't have too much to do the next day...and THAT was truly appreciated. When I called her later the next day to ask where something was, she knew if was in the "orange" bag! She advised me every step of the way and was polite, friendly, organized, polished, and caring. Thank you, Christen! I am so glad I upped my budget to include a day-of coordinator!!

st Events would be who we would enjoy working with. As hectic as our lives have been since barely moving here in May, Christen made sure we were up-to-date, scheduled vendor meetings which she attended, our one-on-one and "secret" meetings for a couple of surprises I had up my sleeve for my husband. Christen is definitely on it. Each vendor we hired had the same feedback as well! We are so happy and grateful we took a chance including her in our journey. Vendors? Oh man...she has great recommendations! I believe most of the vendors we hired were ones she recommended and neither of them disappointed us. But be prepared for many meetings, which is well worth it! She even included our Old Man Rams (13 y.o. pup) from the start. No other wedding planner remembered him being a part of our wedding. That definitely showed us she actively listens and cares about every single detail of importance to us. Being in a whole new state with no family/friends around, Christen was my go-to even on the most random things unrelated to the wedding, trying on my last 2 fittings of my dress, to our stressed out moments--she was there. The day we checked into our hotel, there was a cute bucket of goodies and a card from her! LOVED IT! To those who we had a moment to chat with at the reception and after, they were so impressed at how on point Christen was, how things were set up and laid out, and that this was a well-planned out ceremony and reception from beginning to end. We cannot thank you enough for all your help, support, and patience, Christen. You are very much appreciated and we wish you many more successful events with your future clients!

and I had a completely stress-free wedding day, thanks to her. She took care of everything and is simply AMAZING at her job. She is passionate and works so smoothly with vendors. Most of my vendors even commented on how much they loved working with her. I’m not sure how any wedding day is pulled off without a Christen there to oversee it. Simply put, she was worth every penny. Book her and you will be so glad you did!!
