About this vendor
Do you dream of planning a small intimate wedding or party but are not willing to compromise on luxury details? If so, we are your planners!
So Dearly Beloved is a full-service planning and design service for clients who envision a more intimate affair with vintage romantic touches. Our goal is to not just plan a wedding…we want to create an luxurious experience for you and your guests; one which indulges all the senses and leads to beautiful memories.
While we plan events of all sizes (our largest wedding was in 2019 with 650 guests), we specialize in those with a guest list up to 100. We feel these smaller events allow us to add more lavish details to each guest experience. Whatever you need, we are here for you, and will create a customized wedding service plan just for you.
We also offer our clients a variety of options from our event rental company and gift shoppe. You are not obligated to use these services, but we do like our clients to know they are available.

What an incredible GIFT Cris & her team are!!! If you want a wedding that is filled with peace & beauty, call SDB today! I cannot tell you how amazing they were at taking care of e...
very detail. Once we put our daughter's wedding & reception in their all capable hands, I was able to breathe again - and not only breathe, but actually ENJOY my sweet daughter's dream wedding day - which thanks to Cris & her girls, became a reality. Words cannot express how thankful I am - truly a gift from Above. Thank you, Cris! May many others enjoy the amazing fruits of your generous & hard-working labor in the months and years to come!
I could write a novel about So Dearly Beloved. To say that they are amazing is a complete understatement. I didn’t know much we truly needed them. All the last minute things, the...
little details, big details created for us did not go unnoticed. We are so honored to know them & extremely blessed to have had them on our side. They embraced our vision 110% & brought it to life, & went above & beyond for us in every single direction, helping making our dreams come true. We mainly worked with Cris but because of her & her team, our family & friends still rave about our wedding. We could not have pulled off this day without them. They lifted so much weight off my shoulders & many others. Cris & her team have a true gift & talent for what they do. They left us speechless. They were so so important to what was one of the biggest day of our lives, & I cannot recommend them enough & honestly will never stop recommending them. Cris has built a phenomenal team. Their communication is chefs kiss. They worked so hard for us, day and night, no matter the hour. Cris got to my venue before me, making sure everything is moving smoothly & perfect, & stayed to help clean up making sure we didn’t leave anything behind. Cris has everything you could ever think of & need, she helped us feel so prepared. Throughout the entire day, Cris helped me with my dress, my hair, fixed my husbands suit, she refreshed my lip gloss.. she truly looks out for you & will never lose sight of you. She will always keep you laughing & crying laughing. Not only did she take care of my husband & I, she looked out for our family & bridal party as well (not to mention my bridal party was huge lol). This team is perfection; extremely organized, we did not have to worry about one. single. thing. Cris & her team will be your best friends, there for every high & every low. What you need is THEM. There is no one else we would have rather chosen to be by our side on our wedding day. Thank you, Cris, & your team for being who you are. Don’t ever stop!!!! Love you guys
I love this team! They helped plan my wedding in September of 2017, and literally saved the day.! We planned most of our wedding ourselves before we hired SDB, but ran into major ...
issues with my bridal party dresses, our venue (which shall remain unnamed) and a few very vendors (who shall also remain unnamed) two weeks before the date. I was a total mess but Cris, Melissa and the rest of their team somehow pulled it all together and got everyone on the same page. They also lent me some items from her own stash (votive holders, lanterns, faux greenery, tables and chairs) that our rental company could not deliver on. She literally saved the day! I was (am) SO GRATEFUL!
I can’t say enough of good things about Cristina and her wedding talent. I am from Brasil and my husband’s family is from New York. We want to have another celebration in the US an...
d my husband hired Cristina to help us coordinate everything. She is so kind and work everything out for us.. It was so beautiful. Melissa and every one on the team was so nice to work with us also. They make me feel like a princess. They really cared about us and our families and help me even though my English is not very good. Cristina was so patient with me! She hold my hand through all the planning and always say everything will be ok! It was a really great journey with Cristina! I recommend very much that you call her for your celebration!
Even before I met my husband and got married, I knew I wanted Cristina Cunningham to plan my wedding. From what I saw of her previous clients' weddings and her Instagram page, I no...
ticed that she had beautiful attention to detail and put her clients' wishes first. Each wedding was unique, yet the order, beauty, and joy were the same among them.
While working with her to plan our wedding, I had a general idea of what I wanted (a nature-y outdoor wedding that incorporated the season, cats wherever applicable, and our families' cultures), and Cristina filled in the gaps. I was working at the time and I didn't have a lot of time to plan, so Cristina took the initiative to narrow down venues, florists, bridal shops, bakeries, etc. to a few that she knew I would like. I was thrilled with the options she found! She also found little decor items she knew we would love (ie: the cat cake topper!) and had fun ideas to incorporate our wishes (ie: my husband and I have two cats that we wanted to be part of the wedding somehow, and she thought to name the signature drinks after them. Three years later, the guests are still talking about those drinks). My family is Brazilian/Irish and my husband's family is Puerto Rican, and Cristina incorporated decor, foods, and entertainment from our cultures so they could be part of the wedding.
Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without Cristina's help. It was exactly the one I wanted with less stress and drama than I expected. I hope she can bless others with her expertise, knowledge, and professionalism. She knows how to do this work well!
