Soirée

Soiree: Christine and John We had the good luck (and smarts) to select Christine and John from Soiree to do our daughter’s wedding, and we are soooo glad we did! Our expectations were exceeded by their creativity, innovation, attention to ‘every’ detail, follow through and the leadership of the different vendors to ensure the planning and the big event was as many guests remarked, ‘the best wedding they have ever been to’ – and that is because of these two leaders. The advice and guidance they gave us always proved out to be the best choice and in the end it all worked like magic. I would hire them again for any important occasion!

Words cannot express our deepest gratitude to Christine and John from Soirée Events. Our daughter’s wedding was perfection personified. Christine and John handled every detail with professionalism, kindness, and calmness. They overcame all obstacles without ever having to burden us or the bride. Their resources and knowledge are parallel to none. We highly recommend this team, Christine and John, for a flawless and amazing celebration. Thank you! ❤️

Christine and John worked together to bring my wedding dreams to life. They perfectly translated my vision of a Great Gatsby- Art Deco wedding into reality. They worked with floral, lighting, rentals, floor plan and beyond; bringing all elements together into the production of a life time. Christine was there every step of the way to assist with navigating vendors, timelines, to do’s, tasks while John used his creativity to weave all elements, colors, vibes into the perfect feeling, mood and design throughout the entire night. I was truly awe inspired when I walked into the venue for the first time. It was even better than I imagined. It was also a lot of fun along the way. I am truly grateful for Soiree! Thank you both for everything.

Christine and John did an absolutely incredible job with our wedding. We hired them less than 2 months before our wedding day for month and day of coordination services. We originally thought we didn't need a planner and that our caterer's day-of coordinator would be enough, but as the wedding approached things started to get overwhelming and it became clear that we needed more help if we wanted to actually enjoy our wedding day and not be stressed and managing the setup and details ourselves. It is actually scary to imagine what our wedding would have been like without Christine and John! They took over all of the stress and details and made sure our wedding happened seamlessly. From day 1 Christine was a calming and reassuring presence, offering creative solutions and really helpful advice, and always quick to respond to emails and calls. Moreover, she got things done- and fast! When our florist fell through, Christine found us a great new florist just weeks before our wedding who worked within our budget and gave us everything we wanted for half the price of our previous florist. Just with that, they saved us almost as much money as it cost us to hire them! Christine also found us great cake bakery options including an allergen-friendly bakery, dropped off cake tastings at our house, booked our hotel shuttle, and made sure all our vendors knew our timeline, where/when to set up and all the details they needed. I gave her and John a bunch of random decor for our welcome party and they made it look amazing, and they did the same with the wedding. They had no problem setting up a ton of decor for us including a neon sign, family photos, a DIY photobooth, and our welcome signs and seating chart which they had professionally printed on foam board for us. They also ran our rehearsal and planned our ceremony in a non-conventional garden venue, and Christine helped us scope out the best photo spots. They truly went above and beyond for us, and were a calming presence on our wedding day while also keeping us on schedule and making sure everything happened flawlessly behind the scenes while we just enjoyed the day. I cannot recommend them enough and we will always be so grateful!

A scale of 5 doesn’t do justice to Soiree. Christine and John’s expertise, work ethic, vision and talent are exceptional and well beyond any conventional rating. Soiree oversaw every detail of a spring, outdoor wedding at our house. Event planning is an art and a science—managing multiple, potentially complicated logistics and understanding and bringing to life the aesthetic of the clients in the best possible way within budget. The outcome was utterly amazing. Christine and John developed plans for siting multiple tents while minimally impacting our landscape, provided recommendations for, negotiated with, and handled all interactions with selected vendors, and designed a breathtaking cocktail and dining space. Every selected vendor was outstanding. All were consummate professionals and required absolutely no oversight from us. Their competence, attention to detail and hard work were an inspiration. Aside from their event planning expertise, Christine and John were always unflappable, responsive, punctual and, equally important, reassuring. They provided for every contingency and assured us we did not have to worry about anything. And we didn’t—not even the weather! I offer my highest recommendation for Christine, John and Soiree. I look forward to another event when I can use their services!

I cannot recommend Christine and John at Soiree highly enough. My husband and I wanted to host a backyard reception but didn't have the capacity to plan it ourselves. Christine and John managed the whole thing flawlessly with minimal direction from us. Every vendor recommended by Christine and John was outstanding. The backyard was transformed into a cocktail and dinner venue with a romantic, sophisticated garden party vibe - exactly what we were going for even though we had a difficult time articulating it ourselves! Everything on the day-of was on time and flowed seamlessly so we could just enjoy the day. In the run-up, they managed all the vendors without any real oversight from us. We were absolutely thrilled with the way the wedding went. If you want top quality, uber-professional wedding planning, go with Soiree - they are totally worth it.
