As soon as Christine and I began communicating I knew hiring her company was a good idea. I knew that my personality required me to have someone with me on the day of the wedding that 1) I was comfortable with, and, 2) cared enough to get any job done. I needed my day-of-coordinator to be my eyes and organizer and Christine did this and more. Christine was always one step ahead and took the initiative to take care of things. Christine managed the entire bridal party and all the vendors and did so with such ease. You can tell Christine enjoys her job...and she does it really well!! EAP was surely one of my favorite vendors and I am very happy that my husband and I decided to book the company. In my final pre-wedding days I was crazed and Christine put me at ease and even made me laugh when I really needed it.

Christine was absolutely amazing! She is professional, responsive and ready to assist in any manner possible to make your day a memorable one. During the planning process, she recommended vendors, advised me on timing/planning issues and provided all around support. On the day of our wedding, her calm presence allowed us to enjoy our day and spend time with our families and friends. I have nothing but the highest praise for her and Exquisite Affairs Productions Inc.

Christine and her team are a must for every bride. No matter how organized or knowledgeable you are about events and logistics, there is nothing as important as your wedding day, and the number of details that need to be attended to in order for the day to go well should not be underestimated. You cannot enjoy your wedding day without a planner and you will be thrilled with your day if Christine is your coordinator. Despite a torrential thunderstorm a half hour before our wedding ceremony, EVERY detail of our wedding was executed beautifully and Christine's professionalism, calm and skills drew praise from our wedding party, priest and various vendors. She is an absolute pro and a complete delight to work with. A plus service, all too rare in New York City!

Simply put these ladies made my day what it was. They are meticulous, super organized, kind, funny and nothing falls off their radar. EVER. From the first time I met Christine Viola, I knew that she would be the one person who could I could rely on to make sure all those details, big and small, would be taken care of. As a result, the wedding was legendary for my family and friends--a month plus later guests are still RAVING about how fabulous it was. Hands down, without a doubt, hiring Christine was my best decision (next to marrying my husband!). Having her enabled me to enjoy evey single aspect of my wedding--not one moment was missed because of all her hard work. I was the most relaxed bride, hands down,--and for anyone who knows me that is totally contradictory to my daily persona!
My wedding was full of Christine touches--from the out of town bags, to her vision on how to tone down the flowered wallpaper in the ladies room that bothered my mom to no avail and helping in selecting elegant, but not overdone, flowers for the reception, just to name a few. She also enlisted Laurie, Exquisite's graphic designer, for the remainder of the paper goods, which were stunning. Not one detail was overlooked for my wedding--when I walked into the University Club's 7th floor, tears welled up. It was magical--from the flower arrangement that my guests saw upon exiting the elevator, to the rediculously gorgeous arrangement at the card table, to the overlays on the tables and the accompanying flower arrangements and placement of the menus and favors, and the set up of the outdoor patio, WOW. It was beyond the perfect dream wedding.
Christine was there for me from the moment I signed on as an Exquisite Bride. She held my hand through various 'dramas,' last minute changes and gave her honest opinion 1000% of the time. To say she went above and beyond is an extreme understatement--from managing sticky family situations, to meetings with the florist, walk throughs at the University Club, emails with bridesmaids and groomsmens' wives and managing 43 of us at the church rehersal, she did it all! I could ask her anything--she guided me on tips, dealt with situations I chickened out of, et. Not one member of our bridal party or immediate family was not on a first name basis with Christine and Tara. And we all LOVED THEM. I truly feel that I gained a friend, and my family a permanent event planner for the next celebration!!!!

Christine and her team did an amazing job for our wedding! They took care of all the things we didn't want to (like making a schedule, figuring out the limo situation, etc) and made the entire day stress free!

Christine was amazing through and through. She was so immediately available at all times and so supportive every step of the way. Christine treats her job like it is her personal mission to make everything run smoothly and perfectly. She is so detail oriented and made me think about all the details of the wedding prior to the big day so that everything ran exactly like I wanted it to. On the day of the wedding she did everything I asked for and more, all while staying low key and low profile. She is absolutely unbeatable, esp for the ridiculously low price. Whatever reservations you might have hiring a wedding coordinator, never fear. She will deliver far beyond your expectations. And finally, even after the wedding, and after the fee was paid and the tip was delivered, she still offered her full support in all the after-wedding ordeals that I encountered. I endorse her fully.

I knew I wanted to book Christine as my DOC even before we met in person! Out of the numerous coordinators I contacted for my wedding, Christine was always the fastest to respond to all my questions, and also the nicest and most enthusiastic. And prices were unbeatable!
I was a wreck in the few months prior to my wedding, but as soon as we had our final meeting with Christine, I felt a huge load lift from my shoulders. She soon emailed me our wedding day timeline, and it would be an understatement to say that I was impressed...I thought I was anal about my lists, but this timeline put everything I've done in the past to shame!
We had a bunch of last-minute changes, families who do not speak English, and decisions that were made on the 11th hour. Christine took all this by stride and took care of EVERYTHING. She had backup plans for her backup plans...and even through her recommendations, she always made sure to let me know that this was my day, and I should do what makes me happy.
She was unobtrusive on the day of the wedding, seeming to disappear but appearing again as if by magic, right by my side, whenever I needed her. She dealt with all my vendors politely and they all praised her as well. My bridesmaids fell in love with her (as I told them they would) and while raiding the suitcase she carried around with her all day, they even joked, "Do you have unicorns in there?" because she really seemed to have everything you can possibly want or need!
I would recommend Christine and EAP in a heartbeat. She really helped make my wedding day stress-free and went above and beyond my expectations in everything she did. I love you Christine!

Christine from Exquisite Affairs Production was fantastic! She was an absolute pleasure to work with - my husband and family both LOVED working with her. She was professional before, during and after the wedding. Christine also went above and beyond her call of duty - she was so helpful in so many ways during the planning phase even though I had only hired her for the Day of Coordinator services. Every bride should have a friend like Christine to help her with the wedding.

I have only wonderful things to say about Christine and her company, Exquisite Affairs Productions. I hired Christine when I was cracking under the pressure and she really came to the rescue. She was very responsive to my calls and emails, and I believe that it was because of her that I was able to actually enjoy my wedding!!! It was the best money I spent throughout the entire wedding planning process.

Finding exquisite affairs was one of the best things I did! They helped me so much that day. I dont know what I would have done with out them. Tara managed all the buses that we had transporting guest and Christine did everything from sewing the bridesmaid dresses that broke to dealing with getting the gifts back to my hotel room. She knows what she is doing and how to handle every situation becasue she has done it so often.. and lets face it this is most brides first (and only time!) This honestly was the BEST money spend on the wedding. I would 100% advise any bride no matter your budget to use them!

There are certain things you think about doing for your wedding that you are just not sure about; a wedding coordinator tends to be one of those things. You think to yourself do you really need one, is it a frivolous use of money, and what can they really do. My decision to hire Christine Viola from Exquisite Affaris was one of the best decisions I made in regards to my wedding. Above everything that Christine did, the most important thing she provided me with was peace of mind. No matter how organized and prepared you are, the wedding day is hectic and things will happen that are beyond your control. Christine dealt with all the little fires, she coordinated and organized everyone, she made sure all the vendors showed up, that the bridal party everyone else stayed on schedule, and she handled all the last minute payments and tips. She is also a doll to have around. She's cool, calm and collected...nothing seems to faze her. Christine was also a doll to work with during the wedding planning, she responds to all your emails in an astonishingly fast manner. She goes and above and beyond what she has to do. Of all the Vendors I used she was definitely in my top 3 favorites. I can't recommend her enough or advice people to get a wedding coordinator for their weddings. With all the time and money you spent on your wedding day, you want to enjoy the show not be coordinating it or even worst handing of the headache to a family member or friend.

absolutely amazing job done by Christine, she was so patient, just an awesome person and a friendly face to have around on "wedding day". She did a great job of coordinating all my vendors, my guests, wedding party, etc, etc. The day flowed beautifully with Christine in my corner. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends or family looking to plan an event.

You can't go wrong with Christine Viola and the entire staff at Exquisite Affairs Productions.
I couldn't have been any more pleased with Christine throughout my entire planning process, and she really went above and beyond in all aspects.
I've recommended her to many many brides to be, and I will continue to do so.
Looking forward to seeing her at my sister's wedding, too!

Christine from Exquisite Affairs Productions was all that I could have asked for and more, in a Day Of Coordinator. She also painstakingly designed and created my pocketfold invitations, menus, table numbers, votive placecard holders, ceremony programs and childrens' gift bags! Her attention to detail, calmness under pressure and organization is unparalleled!! I highly recommend Christine and all of the ladies at EAP without reservation!! A+++++++++++++

Another 5 Star choice -- Christina was wonderful. Smart, down to earth and funny she kept me calm on my big day. Since our ceremony was outdoors in a public space there was the potential for a major snafu but Christine kept everything under control. I was quite impressed with her professionalism. I had only used her services for the day of and for a couple of consults but I would highly recommend her to the bride who needs her hand held through the whole wedding planning process.
