“My wife and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have worked with Christine as our month-of/day-of wedding coordinator.
We work full-time jobs, and one of our fears was that we would be behind on something. Christine’s experience and communication skills were invaluable to keeping us on track. She was deliberate and thorough in ensuring that we had thought about everything that we needed to by asking detail-oriented questions frequently and well ahead of deadlines. Perhaps most importantly, she would think for us when we were occupied with our day jobs, and therefore outright unable to make all of the considerations that we needed about our wedding. Without her in-the-background efforts, I’m certain we would have had a stressful lead up to the big day.
To us, transparency means being able to get answers to our questions. For our wedding, we already had a vision for what we wanted, but we needed Christine to help fill in some gaps. We asked Christine for suggestions for vendors, and when we asked about why she recommended them and what made them special, she was clear with her reasoning. This gave us confidence in moving forward with selecting those vendors. Christine also put together our wedding timeline, including the schedule and details for the rehearsal and the wedding day. She shared this via Google-Docs and opened the entire thing up for us to make comments and to discuss every item well ahead of schedule. When the big day came, we were not surprised by anything because Christine kept us involved throughout the process.
We are organized people, which extends to budget planning. With Christine, she was clear about her fees, and when she put her contract together it was easy to read and understand. There were no questions about what services we were paying for.
A wedding is a big event, and we had many vendors who all had their own schedules and availability. We found that the most frustrating part was when we needed to address an issue or ask a question, some of our vendors were not responsive. Christine was not one of those vendors - she was available at every instance that we needed her. As our wedding approached, we realized that there was a slight possibility of rain. We did not have a rainy-day plan in place, so we tried to organize a meeting between a number of the vendors who would be key in coming up with a contingency plan. The only responsive vendor was Christine, who worked hard in those last few days to reach the unresponsive vendors on our behalf and convey our concerns and to elicit a response. In all other aspects of communication - asking for her advice, making requests for help, further communicating with vendors, etc. - Christine’s record with us was impeccable.
Gameday: This was perhaps the most stand-out aspect of Christine’s work. On the wedding day, we never at any point felt lost about what we needed to do next. It’s not an understatement to say that you will have practically no time to yourself on the wedding day, and we can attest to that. We literally would not have any time to think about “what comes next” in terms of where we needed to be and when. Fortunately, that wasn’t an issue because of Christine. She managed all of the vendors, corralled our designated helper-guests, and directed us all night. All we had to do was follow directions. Though we were busy every minute of the wedding, because of Christine’s guidance we were never overwhelmed, and had just enough time and energy to enjoy our special day.”
