Krista was the life-saver, best-friend-for-a-day, confidant, and organizer I didn't even know I needed. I was so stressed before finding Krista, but as soon as she came on board, my husband and I were instantly more calm. She also handled our signage and a ton of event design. I really feel so lucky to have had Krista at my event and I would recommend her to ANYONE. She took so much off our plate, most importantly she took all of the month-of vendor coordinating off our plate which was incredible. We just had to show up, she took care of the rest (vendor timelines, parking, instructions, handing out tips, etc...). HIRE HER!!!

You need Krista and Champagne Magnolias for your big day! If you're debating if you need a month of coordinator for your wedding, take my word for it...you do! Having Krista and CM there for me in the month leading up to my wedding and the day of was invaluable. From handling vendor communications to building my timeline to helping set up and break down decor to literally chasing off drunk hecklers during the ceremony. Champagne Magnolia and team thought of EVERYTHING! They were 5 steps ahead at all points of the day. I felt like the most relaxed bride the day of my wedding and somehow had extra time in my timeline to spend quality time with my bridal party beforehand. I can say with 1000% confidence that I wouldn't have felt so at ease without Krista and her team. They will be your biggest hype team and do everything you dreamed of...even if it's something crazy...like a shoey toast.

Our wedding only happened because of Krista. My fiance had his heart set on a non-traditional venue (Battleship New Jersey) that unfortunately lost its event coordinator at some point in the wedding planning process and replaced that person with a man who promises the world but is the sleaziest of used car salesmen. Over and over again we were told "Jack will arrange that" "Jack will do it" "no problem" while being given no contact information, no guidance, not even additional pricing. It was a terrible experience, with the crowing moment being told 3 months before the wedding that the area for the ceremony was under construction and would not be ready before our wedding. We invited 170 and were lucky only 120 could make it, because the venue never could have sat that many people. 3 weeks before our wedding we were able to meet with "Jack" and Krista and the caterer (also great - Andreotti's) and Krista was able to find a spot on the ship where we could have the ceremony while the caterer still was able to ready the dinner. Krista designed the semi circle chairs so we could still have the view of Philadephia. Krista brought the table numbers. Krista queued the wedding party when the newly hired event coordinator for the ship who showed up half an hour before the ceremony started didn't. Krista boarded the ship to ensure the vendors knew where to go and where to set up and set up the chairs since the venue did not - Jack told us 3 days before the wedding that he'd be attending his nephew's wedding instead. Without Krista, it simply wouldn't have happened. In hindsight, I would have hired her as a full time planner instead of partial in an instant - if I could do it all over again that's what I would do. She is kind, fun, organised, professional, and gets it done. The best, bar none.
