Whitney Events

our wedding as opposed to what I did want. The WE team’s depth of knowledge of every aspect of a wedding allowed me to not only figure out what I want, but also gain a deeper understanding of what would create the best possible experience for us and the people who would be there to support us on that day. Christina and Jen’s vast network of venue managers, caterers, florists, DJs, officiants, and anything wedding-related cannot be understated. During each step of the decision-making process, we had three to four options to look through based on our interests and desires. We had frequent phone calls and shared documents we were working off of, which kept us in the loop and on task. Our planning period was about 16 months from beginning to end and, with the help of the WE team, we were able to accomplish all of our goals in that time - even during a global pandemic. Without Christina and Jen’s guidance, I’m not sure how we would have! When our wedding day finally arrived, the WE team was there at our hotel and venue to ensure all of the pieces fell into place. My husband and I moved from one part of the day to the next with ease and peace of mind. Our wedding party and family were prepared for what they needed to do as well. The day went off perfectly thanks to their sound advice, and all of our guests were thrilled with the day’s events and accommodations. The quintessential New York wedding that we had hoped for was appreciated by both visiting and local family and friends, and it would not have been possible without Christina and Jen. We are incredibly appreciative of everything that they did for us!

ontracted duties and made my event flow even better than I had hoped. They were able to predict potential disaster areas (which I was able to avoid thanks to their advice!). They worked flawlessly and professionally with all the vendors I had already hired, kept everything on time, and even the groom commented how effective they were (and let’s be real, guys don’t usually notice anything). Would hire again for another event without question.

there to guide us. They always provided us with information needed for us to be empowered to make very difficult decisions. They were with us every step of the way in the planning process and kept us on track. This wasn't always an easy tasks since we both were working full time jobs with long hours and would lose motivation with covid regularly changing protocols. All of our vendors and guests had the nicest things to say about Christina and her team. The Whitney events team went above and beyond on our wedding day and made our day a dream come true. They were tasked with so many challenges and I wasn’t even aware of them until everything was fixed and set. I can honestly say I wasn’t stressed and could enjoy my wedding weekend because of this amazing team. Can’t end without a shout out to Jen! Jen made us two cakes, for rehearsal and wedding, they were above and beyond what we expected and she is the kindest person to work with.

speeches, they made it all work perfectly. From the beginning of the planning process, they made it so easy to narrow down vendors. They got an understanding of what we were looking for then sent us recommendations for venues, florists, bands and photographers. It made it so much less overwhelming planning a wedding in NYC. Communication was so easy, and they are completely responsive; an email late at night or a quick text always got a response. We chatted on a regular base to make sure everything was on track. They set up payment trackers and deadlines and made everything readily available in a shared drive. Our wedding day went off without a hitch! Everything was exactly where it was supposed to be and all the vendors were taken care of. I could completely enjoy the day, just as the bride! :-) I give Whitney Events my highest recommendation for any bride or groom getting ready to plan their special day!!

decision to hire Whitney Events it was clear we made a good decision. They are very organized and keep you on track as your wedding day approaches. They have lists of what you should be considering 13 months out, 12 months out, 11 months out, etc and are in regular contact with you (and very responsive when you reach out) to help you slowly but surely take care of everything you need to in preparation for the wedding. It was so helpful knowing that someone was there to keep track of every detail, which meant we never had to worry about missing anything. Most importantly, they plan for and handle all of the little details that you never would have thought of during the last month and on the wedding day itself. On top of that, they add such a personal touch to everything and they really understood who we were as a couple. Thanks to Christina and Jen we were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding and didn't need to stress over logistics. We would highly recommend working with Whitney Events!

that anyone has ever seen and definitely not your normal wedding backdrop. With an extremely raw industrial venue there were challenges throughout the planning process and even more challenges on the day of the actual event. But that's were the Whitney Events team performs at their best!!! Because they are so skilled at what they do my husband and I were able to truly enjoy the entire day because we knew we were in good hands. Whitney Events had everything, and I mean everything, under control which allowed us time to dance, mingle with family and friends, and truly enjoy one of the biggest events in our lives!! They are a professional team who guide you through the entire planning process, they are masters at maneuvering through any obstacles that arise and with their years of experience they make it all look so easy!!! In addition, Christina has a huge network of vendors at her finger tips that can provide just about anything you need to add any special touches to your day! Whitney Events brought together the wedding of our daughter's dream in the rawest space ever!!! We owe the success of our daughter's wedding to Whitney Events!!! We could never have done it without them!!! If you are thinking about hiring an event planner to ensure that your wedding day is truly everything you ever envisioned then you need Whitney Events!!! Christina and her team will not disappoint!! Best money we ever spent!!!

fer remained calm + cool during EVERY moment of chaos. They had our vision down to a tee + took TOTAL control. Every last detail. They knew exactly where everything needed to be placed. The two of them were so organized that it only helped us organize ourselves even better. My ENTIRE family is at a loss for words for our wedding day, and so are we. Whitney Events is not only super experienced but they care so much. They were so determined + passionate + talented- I am blown away about how lucky we got to have them. Christina, Jennifer, and Rachael (Rachael is from Sterling Affairs Caterers ) created the most perfect wedding day for us. I'm serious. From start to finish- not a thing went wrong. Jennifer was with me all day as I took photos. She kept us on our timeline + also was nothing but great energy for our big day. Jennifer also happened to make us our dream wedding cake. Put so much effort into making it how I imagined it. Fresh banana cake ( our favorite!) with caramel sea salt buttercream decorated with figs,berries, + gold foil. It was insane. Christina, ran around literally hustled around the entire venue ( did I mention it is a factory!? so many floors, rooms, decor, outdoors, parking etc) + when our space was revealed to both Phil + I, everything was exactly what we wanted- AND BETTER. Rachel from Sterling Affairs + staff were OUT OF THIS WORLD. My family cannot get over that 240+ people got not only delicious food but HOT FOOD. I had multiple guests in the restaurant + service industry who speak nothing but the truth, they are still talking about this! Pearl + Nancy (apart of Sterling staff) took care of Phil + I the entire night. We had everything we needed. Without Whitney Events, we would have never found the hands down, best wedding food I have ever had. Please, if you do yourself one favor, hire this army to help you. I felt like the only woman on the planet who really had a tough time enjoying wedding planning. Truly hated thinking about all the things I had to do/answer to/decide on/pay for etc... Whitney Events honestly saved us in a way I could never repay them for. Phil and I are so convinced we threw the most EPIC wedding ever and I owe them 100 more reviews because this could never be enough. If we could do it again, we would want to be guests this time at our wedding! Let them take so much weight off your shoulders. It was the biggest gift to all of us to have been given the chance to be entirely present for this whole day. I felt our day lasted hours and hours and hours. It was because I had this army who gave us not a thing to worry about! I could go on forever. Whitney Events + Sterling Affair Caterers was the best investment we made. They are forever considered friends of this family.

k who contributed to helping make that day beyond our wildest dreams, we have to highlight one person who worked so egregiously hard to make everything happen and that person is Christina from Whitney Events. Christina has been unbelievable. Christina has calmed us down during every conversation, she has told us the right move to make, she has been loving, caring and authoritative. Honestly, she's just incredible. Everything our guests and my wife (!!) and I got to experience would not have happened without Christina being the way she is. We love her so much and are so appreciative. I feel like I could write a novel about how talented, creative and solutions-driven she is but I'm sure there's a character limit here, so...thank you.

ooked 18 months out (Whitney Events was at the top of the vendor list). Fast-forward to the beginning of May, the week following my bridal shower, we found out that our wedding venue, that I booked 16 months prior, could no longer host us due to construction delays. With eight weeks to go, we had to find a new venue for 4th of July Weekend, a caterer, rentals, a new block of rooms for our entire bridal party and families, shuttles, a new after party location and new brunch location. That same day we came home to a package - our beautiful invitations arrived ready to be stamped and mailed - talk about adding salt to the wounds! And later that week, I found out that the company I worked for was about to be acquired, and it was unclear if I'd have a job by the time the wedding rolled around. Now, I realized from the beginning that Christina knows her stuff, she has the experience, the best relationships with partners/venues/vendors, a great eye for style and detail and creates incredible events - I knew she would be the only person I could trust to actually pull off my dream wedding. But I cannot express how much more important she became in our lives. She remained calm and level-headed throughout. She was our rock and our trusted advisor, always five steps ahead of us guiding us along the way until eventually...we saw the light. She negotiated like the badass boss she is, fought for us as we worked out a displacement fee and started planning our wedding all over again. She made extra trips out to do site visits, she drew up cost comparisons on four of them. She set up calls with caterers and phoned in favors with her preferred vendors. She made herself available, however many times a day. She was the first to tell me that what I was feeling was normal or if I was overthinking or if I just needed to calm down and breathe. I could always count on her to be honest with me and I greatly appreciated her opinions on where we should spend our money and where she felt it would go unnoticed. Four weeks out from our wedding, Christina came up with a never-before-seen solution: we sent reprinted invitations that said "Surprise Location...visit our website to find out where we're getting married" to buy us time because we were waiting to find out if our top venue choice could obtain their entertainment license in time. We signed with them a couple days later just in time to add their details to our website as guests opened up our invitations. Two weeks before the wedding, we signed with our caterer (no time for a tasting). The week of my wedding, my company was officially acquired and I found out that I would transition over to the new company. I still had a job! Our wedding weekend was a whirlwind and AMAZING. My husband and I had never experienced as much stress in our lives as we did in those eight weeks and while we received so much outreach, love and support from family and friends, it was Christina and the Whitney Events Team that got us through it all. We are incredibly grateful and we don't think we'll ever be able to properly thank them enough! Hiring Whitney Events will be one of the best and smartest investments you'll make for your wedding, hands down.

mmended to me and looking back, I don’t know what I would have done without them. Christina was so on top of everyone (including me) that I have no idea how she was handling anything else at the same time. She really dedicated herself to making sure everything was perfect and went smoothly. There were many times that I felt they just went above and beyond to help coordinate and make sure the day went off without a hitch, and I so appreciated that because I could not keep track of anything myself! Not only were they professional and helpful, they are both just super sweet and awesome and amazing to deal with. They had really great insights and advice for me throughout the entire process. If I had an idea that really didn’t make sense- they told me- even if it meant less money for them, which showed me they were honest and really cared. They are just amazing and I loved working with them!

ggest vendors that they work with and trust and then we could narrow it down to the ones who would be perfect for us. We were very happy with every vendor they recommended (florist, hair, makeup, invitations). Having their expertise especially in the month prior to the wedding when you are nailing down all the details was a big help. We didn't need to worry about those details because they had it all under control. Our wedding day was perfect and everything went smoothly. Christina and Jen were there to make sure shuttles, speeches, etc. were on time and we didn't give a thought to it. We were supposed to have our ceremony take place outside but due to rain we ended up having it inside but I never even cared or thought about it because they handled everything and made sure that the ceremony indoors was absolutely gorgeous. They were also a big help in figuring out what to do for our favors. Jen ended up baking blueberry muffins, including glutenfree, and helped us find really cute packaging for them. Everyone loved it and the muffins were delicious. Christina and Jen are professional, kind, hard-working, attentive to detail, and great to work with. We 100% recommend them!

. We threw plenty of challenges her way, such as changing our venue halfway through the planning process to a different state she had not previously worked in, and they were all handled seamlessly. Christina has great connections not only in the New York area but throughout the Northeast. The vendors that she is able to put you in touch with will only make your wedding that much better. She has very high standards for who she chooses to work with. As you will learn working with her, she likes to get things done and selects vendors who are the same way. She has a very impressive way of directing an entire team of people to pull off an amazing event. Where Christina and her team really shined was on the day of the event. We didn't worry about ANYTHING. We were able to totally relax and experience the pure bliss of our wedding. We had 3 different musical performers, 3 different caterers, and 200 guests in the middle of a field with no water or electricity and it went off without a hitch. We are sure that behind the scenes there was a lot of running around and coordinating going on, but we didn't feel any stress whatsoever. We were able to rest easy with full confidence, spend time with the people we love the most, and dance the night away. Thank you Christina and team!!

cient, and always responsive to any questions and concerns. My husband Greg and I are forever grateful to the friendly and charming team at Whitney Events!

ded detailed, handy timelines and instructions, and were consistently checking in to make sure we kept on schedule and didn't have any questions or issues (and when we did have worries, they did a great job of calming us down). They were full of fun suggestions to make our wedding special, and when we had unusual ideas of our own, they always came through with ways to execute them. On the day of the event, they took complete charge of all the vendors and logistics so that we could focus on having the best day ever... which we did. Even after the wedding, they have kept in touch both to get feedback about the night and simply as friends. We definitely recommend them to everyone!

. Luckily, Christina scooped us up like a fairy godmother and made everything fit like a puzzle. She is detail oriented, superb organization skill, and open to any curve ball you throw at her. We have a last minute video from the family at oversea we want to play at the wedding and we were not sure how it would flow with the whole sequence but Christina just weave it right in like we had planned this all along. All and all you will thank yourself to have Christina and her team be at your side.

made sure we had every single detail and more covered - from an amazing band, to an after party DJ, to shuttles for both airBnBs and hotels, to signature late night snacks and more. We cannot thank Christina enough for her vendor recommendations, expertise, and can-do attitude about every single idea throughout the wedding planning process. Our guests have not stopped raving about how special our wedding was. I never thought I would say I would miss wedding planning but with a team like Whitney Events - I do!!! If you have the chance to hire them for your wedding - you absolutely should!!!

ere able to really enjoy that time while she handled all of the logistics. The wedding day itself went incredibly smoothly as she handled all of the various issues that presented themselves so we could truly enjoy our day. She is a real professional and ran the show from start to finish. We had some issues post wedding as well on the billing front and she didn't shy away from those either. Full service! To truly enjoy your wedding and the time leading up to it, make your lives easier and get Christina on board!

(we got engaged in December and wanted to get married only a few months later, in July), I figured it would be best to hire her as a partial planner. I would've definitely hired her as a full planner but since we already had the venue picked out and I had already bought my dress, a partial planner made more sense in this case. She didn't feel like a partial planner though, not at all. She felt like she was my own personal planner and best friend, as if she didn't have anyone else's wedding to plan but mine :) That's not true of course lol but that's how special she made me feel, like I was the most important bride. Christina is truly amazing. She is super professional, soooo organized and on top of things, and she made my life so much easier since I'm super organized myself and have OCD tendencies since I have different lists for everything in my life! Lol. I feel like we definitely complimented each other since we both communicated in list-form all the time :) which I can tell was heaven for both of us! Haha. I'm honestly so grateful to have found her. She always provided the best advice throughout the whole process and I always trusted her judgement. She has a very positive attitude, was always calm and collected, and always had a solution for everything. She even went along with all my quirky and wacky ideas for the wedding too! :) I really recommend hiring Whitney Events to plan your wedding as Christina and her assistant Jen are the absolute best!!!

er any questions or concerns we had during the planning phase. She helped us select our rentals (and double-checked everything to make sure we ordered exactly what we needed!), came up with an extremely detailed day-of timeline, made sure we had our ideal floorplan, and coordinated all timing and logistics with our vendors as we approached our wedding. Christina is always one step ahead and thinks of every little detail to ensure the day will run smoothly. She has so much patience and will go above and beyond to make sure you're happy. I honestly don't know how we would have managed without her!

e wedding was in Nyc, having a wedding planner was a necessity. What I didn't realize was how important the planner was on the day of the wedding. She absolutely allowed us all to relax and enjoy this most special day in all of our lives. We cannot think of one thing we would have done differently for the wedding. It was perfect, thanks to Whitney Events.

ed most was the team's creativity and flexibility to help execute my wedding theme, which was a Broadway, theater style wedding. Christina was filled with great ideas, such as "ticket" style escort cards, Playbill wedding programs, Act signs on every floor of the venue guiding guests where to go and letting them know what came next in the evening, and a Popcorn bar for intermission. Jen is an amazing pastry chef, and was able to supply Broadway themed cupcakes for guests to take home as a favor, and she was even able to make them gluten free for myself and guests who have severe gluten allergies. They were adorable and delicious! Numerous guests commented on how unique the wedding theme was and how well it was executed throughout the evening. Overall, this team is professional, extremely accommodating, and flexible if last minute changes/drama comes up, and incredibly organized. As the wedding flew by, I was well aware of how stress free the day felt, and how one event seemed to flow effortlessly in to the next. I credit this entirely to Christina for coordinating with all the vendors well in advance, and creating an organized day of timeline. Also, on a more personal note, both Christina and Jen are incredible warm and friendly, and I feel throughout this process they became not only my advisers, but also friends. I look forward to continuing our friendship, and would highly recommend their services to anyone planning a special event. Seriously, run don't walk to work with this team.

nd frantic when we told them what we had in mind for our wedding and the fact that is was only two short months away. We were already freaking out because our wedding date was so soon, so if our planner was doubtful and frantic, it would not make the process any easier. However, when we got our consultation with Christina, the owner of Whitney Events, she was professional and more importantly, very confident that our dream wedding could be done in two months time. This put our mind at rest and a little more at ease. My husband and I have very demanding jobs so sometimes we weren't able to respond to wedding emails or complete a wedding task until days later. Even with a tight deadline, she was never pushy or overbearing and handled everything we couldn't do ourselves. She was very flexible with our schedules and communicated with us frequently to make sure we were on track. She went out of her way to pick up packages, get our marriage certificate, and deliver our wedding items to us just days leading up to our wedding. The day of our wedding Christina and her assistant coordinated the event. Every aspect of that day was perfect and went sooo smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything that day, she was taking care of everything for us. Even our bridal party all commented how she was very on top of it!! Aside from just the wedding planning, we also needed help planning our rehearsal dinner, after party,, and the Korean ceremony. Keep in mind we didn't even have a location booked or had any idea where we wanted to host any of those events. Yet with such ease she was able coordinate and execute each of those events. Mind you we were extremely stressed the entire two months (but what couple isn't when wedding planning?) and several times I doubted if everything would be done by the wedding day, but because of Christina, our wedding and all of our other wedding events were perfect. I think of all the wedding related things we spend on, hiring Christina to be our wedding planner was the best money ever spent (speaking budget-wise, their prices are worth for all the services you will receive). Go with Whitney Events! Thank you so much Christina!!!!!

e weeks leading up to/day of the wedding. Christina kept telling us to relax and to let her worry about the details- and she 100% did. Everything went so smoothly- transportation was perfectly timed, church was ready (despite a scheduling problem that was beyond our control- Christina took care of it), band was well informed/knew the run of show, reception was set up beautifully, schedule flowed as planned, families kept in tow, the list goes on and on- my husband and I were able to truly sit back and ENJOY our own wedding, rather than running the show/worrying about details. Christina told us she was on it and she truly was. We'd highly recommend her services! Thanks Christina!

very confident in her services and absolutely had no stress. So our wedding day went through smoothly. I can say that I had my dream wedding! If you want your dream wedding comes true, I highly recommend Christina and Whitney Events for wedding planning services.

our catering and venue, but she and her team were totally aware of where we stood and could make pointed suggestions to fill our remaining gaps. They didn't just show up a month out and say...ok debrief me...like I'd seen with many of my friends who hired month-of planners. We also hugely appreciated that she attended our venue walkthrough and florist meeting which were earlier in the summer so she/the team were on the same page as us. Again, all of our vendors commented how on top of the details and responsive Christina was. Huge thanks from my husband and I.
