Champagne Magnolias Events

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!!!

If you want the BEST wedding planner, hire Champagne Magnolia Events! From our initial consultation call, Krista was nothing short of spectacular. She handled everything with such professionalism, and we truly loved every second of working with her!

When I asked if she would travel to Texas for our wedding, she immediately said absolutely and jumped right in without hesitation. She took care of everything so I never had to worry about communicating with vendors or setting anything up myself.

I also have to brag on Ally! She is not only an incredible planner, but also such an amazing person. She made sure not only I, but our entire bridal party, was taken care of on wedding day. She is kind, patient, organized, and truly exceptional at what she does.

On wedding day, Krista and Ally made everything run so smoothly. All my husband and I had to worry about was having fun and getting ready with our favorite people. I know for a fact our wedding would not have been nearly as stress-free if they hadn’t been in charge. This duo will truly do anything in their power to make your day the best day ever!

I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with Krista and her team. I wish I could get married every year just so I could work with them again and again. Working with them was truly an honor, and I will recommend them over and over forever!

A lot of people thought I was going overboard booking a wedding planner but let me tell you, it was so worth it. I am such a perfectionist that I knew I would not be able to fully enjoy myself if I had to worry about details. You hear horror stories of wedding problems and you alway think "ohhh that won't happen" BUT to me it did and Champagne Magnolias were there to help me. I lost my wedding venue 5 weeks before my date and the whole team stepped in to help me navigate the incredibly stressful situation. They had contacted venues on my behalf to see who else could possibly hold my wedding with such short notice. Megan was a dream to work with leading up to my actual date. She helped keep me on track with my decor and sat in on my venue and other vendor meetings. She dealt with all my vendor communications leading up to the wedding; this was a huge help especially with my change of venue. Megan and Ally were so on it when it came to my wedding day. They thought of things I didn't even realize like remembering to put on my perfume or take selfies of myself all done up! Ally was lovely and by my side during lot of my pictures in the morning. You do really get some nerves and she kept me chit-chatting and comfortable during the lulls of the day. I absolutely loved working with both of them; such kind and genuine people!

I am SO incredibly thankful I had Krista, Meg, Nadia and the Champagne Magnolias team as my day-of wedding coordinators! I’m a very type A, need-to-know-everything person, and from our first video call starting 90 days out, Krista made me feel supported and completely at ease!

She and her team are the most knowledgeable about my venue, Renault Winery - and many other venues across the NJ/PA/etc area - which made answering my million questions a total breeze.

Krista got our timeline/vibe/decor vision and made it a reality, while making sure we and our whole party were feeling good and ready all wedding day! She coordinated with all my vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly... I didn't have one worry on my wedding day because of her and Meg! They are fun, chill yet bosss, awesome human beings.

You and your wedding are in the BEEEST hands with the Champagne Magnolias team!

Hiring Krista & her team was easily the best decision we made through the wedding planning process! Krista was with us for our recent wedding on 3/15/25 as our day of coordinator. From the moment we hired Krista, I knew we were in amazing hands. She is always one step ahead of you in the wedding planning thought process and BEYOND organized. I will say it on this review, but I had also said it probably one hundred times on our wedding day, "I don't know how people have a wedding without a Krista!!!" Everything ran absolutely seamless and we did not have a worry in the world because Krista and her team made sure everything and everyone was taken care of. From having a stain on my dress, to perfecting my florals, always making sure my lip gloss was fresh... Krista & Champagne Magnolias did it all. Best money you will spend in the grand scheme of wedding planning will be hiring the Champagne Magnolias Events team!!! Could not recommend more!!!

If there was one person who was the MVP of our wedding it would be Krista! We hired her for wedding day management, however she starts 90 days before the wedding date and that was a god send. She is thorough, organized, and personable. She had such a calming presence that even in the midst of the most stressful days leading up to our wedding she calmed us down and reassured us she had it under control. At our rehearsal and wedding day she was everywhere and everything was seamless. Krista created an hour by hour schedule for us and our bridal party to ensure everyone was on track leading up to the ceremony. Apart from coordinating with vendors she put up all of our decor and even moved it to their secondary locations. She was such a joy, everyone loved her, and we couldn’t be more thankful!

Krista and her team were absolutely amazing!!! We were unsure of getting a day of coordinator at first - but I am so glad we did. The meetings leading up to our day helped me make sure I was on track and not missing any details. On the day of - there was no stress because of them. Our family, bridal party, and ourselves were able to show up and enjoy the ENTIRE day while knowing everything else was being taken care of. They kept everything on schedule and put everything together exactly how I imagined. Krista and Megan were with me throughout the day and were so easy to talk to and an amazing presence the entire time. I could not recommend them more if I tried!

Krista and the team are so amazing. She was there for every step and alleviated all of our worries. Our wedding was so amazing and in big part due to Krista and Emily. The day was so smooth as she coordinated everything with our venue, vendors, and family. We love Champagne Magnolias and recommend to everyone!

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.

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.
