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’re thinking of hiring a coordinator. Just do it. Krista will be the glue to your wedding day!!! I don’t know if we could have done it without Krista and her team. I never wanted this over done wedding, but shhh don’t repeat this, my mom had other plans and became momzilla. After our first call, I knew Krista was down to earth like me. Each call was just like talking to a friend not to a stranger. On the day of the wedding, I knew I made the right choice. Meeting Krista and her team was just like catching up with long distance friends or family. She made sure my girls and I were taken care of; that everything was moving on time and smoothly, and advocating for me every step of the way. Thanks for dealing with my mom seriously. That is job and skill on its own!!! I deeply apologize for that one. Krista especially came in clutch when one of our groomsmen stained his shirt and she instantly fixed it. Like without her, his tux would have been ruined!!! He’s actually getting married there next year and already wants to hire her. She took my vision of all my layouts and laying of everything to the next level and wowed not only my guest but brought me to tears. She will forever be part of the biggest day of our lives… she became a friend. I can’t recommend this girl and her fabulous team enough!!!

I could not have been more happy with hiring Champagne Magnolias for my wedding at Scotland Run. Krista and the team were able to create the exact vision that I was looking for. She made the entire wedding planning process more relaxing for me as the bride. I can not recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!!

Krista and her team helped me to plan my December 2019 wedding, and I would have been lost without her! The wedding planning process was so overwhelming for me, and she took care of all the details and booking for me! She called vendors, booked appointments and kept my timelines in order so that my day ran smoothly! I can’t recommend Champagne Magnolias enough for keeping me sane and for making my big day everything I dreamed of!

Krista is the most amazing wedding planner ever!! She helped my step sister with her wedding in 2020 (during crazy covid times) and was so amazing and fun that I was thrilled when my dad surprised me to have her help me with my wedding! She will literally be there for you 24 hrs a day and kept me calm throughout the whole process! I am terrible at planning but Krista made me feel so supported and made the process so much easier! She is also just so fun and easy to get along with! 11/10 recommend her and can’t wait for the next family/friend wedding where I can see her again!

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.

I made the decision to hire Krista & Champagne Magnolias a little later into the planning process after realizing I needed help with a day-of timeline and decor setup. From our very first call, I knew I made the right choice. Krista immediately put my type A OCD bride mind at ease. She was accessible, responsive, she handled vendor communication, and followed up on the types of tiny details that kept me up at night. Her day-of timeline and decor sheet helped me stay organized. She attended my final venue walkthrough and even helped us unload our decor. On the day of my wedding, she was absolutely instrumental in bringing my vision to life by setting up all my decor, repurposing it for the reception, and keeping everyone on schedule. Besides that, she was an awesome hype woman, helped with my bustle, kept the microphone away from my brother (lol), helped us pull off a private last dance, and stayed to pack up all my decor at the end of the night. If you don’t hire Krista, you’re crazy!

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!

My review is way way over due! Our amazing Wedding was December 19th 2020. And without Krista I mentally would not have made it. Our Covid micro wedding was absolutely amazing and everything I dreamed of all thanks to Krista's calm demeanor, savvy ideas and incredible organization skills.
As many Covid brides we had a wedding booked at a venue for 300 people and chose to reschedule to June of 2022.
We decided we couldn't wait until then to get married. We planned to have our immediate family and bridal party do full wedding day. This included formal church mass and reception for a total of 50 people to be held in my parents backyard....in the winter. I immediately identified this was a big task and needed help. Especially after working as an RN in the hospital with Covid, planning and rescheduling our wedding I was OVER IT.
I interviewed 3 planners and Krista was the last one I spoke with, I chose her on the spot. She calmed my nerves and made a plan right then and there. I got excited again. She knew what I needed and tackled the job right away. Now with Covid nothing was easy of course. The restrictions changed as the winter came. We now had to cancel our 50 person wedding and scale it back to immediate family only . THANK GOD I HAD KRISTA!!! Krista didn't hesitate and cancelled and rebooked all reservations. She had to Listen to me cry, vent and sulk and never made me feel bad about it. Krista made a new plan and we started to get to work.
Now let's jump to wedding day! We had a timeline we had a plan. We were doing everything. Make up, hair ,photographer, full mass which was streamed for all 300 guest. Did all formal photos, father daughter dance, first dance. Cake cutting. EVERYTHING. I was so nervous. I called krista an hour prior to her arrival ,I needed her now. And she was there!
Hopefully I can attach photos, Krista set up the house beautifully, and the day went off with out a hiccup. (Oh actually the lights my dad installed on the ceiling caught fire while we were outside taking pictures, Krista and her assistant put out the fire and we had no idea until an hour later. ) so she's a fire fighter too!
Other than that the day was seriously a dream come true. Krista did everything for us and made our wedding day perfect. It seriously could not have been done without her.
Unfortunately I did not have krista do our wedding at the Hamilton manor this past June. Two stupid reasons- 1 we had a baby in between and by the time I tackled wedding stuff we forgot to book her on time and 2 we had our on-site "planner" (who was amazing with all the details) but was not nearly enough for what we need on wedding day.
The day of my wedding and in hindsight I wished more than anything I had Krista by my side. To have someone have 100 percent of your needs on their for front from getting your hair done until the party is over is priceless. Our second wedding was beautiful but I knew what it was like to have a stress free wedding day and just enjoy.Wedding day 2 was not that. I was beyond stressed with a breastfeeding 6 month old ,coordinating last min details and trying to enjoy the day. We ended up being 1.5 hours off schedule and very overwhelmed.
My advice is book the planner, spend the extra money! It's a blip in what you're spending on your wedding as a whole. Krista will make sure every penny spent was worth it and more! I can't thank Krista enough for all her hard work and seriously making our wedding day, the day of our dreams.

5 stars is not enough! Krista is truly THE BEST. I hired Krista as a day-of coordinator for my wedding, but she was much much more. Starting months in advance, Krista was in frequent communication to ensure that planning was going smoothly. She was always available for questions, support, ANYTHING! In the weeks leading up to my wedding, Krista handled all communications with vendors, which was an enormous stress relief. It allowed me to truly enjoy the lead-up to my wedding and gave me peace-of-mind that it was in good hands. On wedding day, Krista was IN CHARGE, organized, helpful, supportive, and truly the most fun to be around. She was always there when I needed anything - even to fan me off and give me cold water in the heat! She managed the entire day - bridal party, family, vendors, timelines, and decorations. I would not have been able to fully enjoy my wedding day without Krista and am so so thankful for her!
