Reviews of Christina Gillon Events (formerly Fete Weddings & Events)

Christina is simply the BEST of the BEST! From the moment I spoke to her I knew that she needed to be hired immediately. She was so genuine & professional, it was an instant vibe I could not deny! Once we started working together I realized her true value. The location of our wedding was in Rosemary Beach, 6 hours from where I live in Jacksonville. I had planned to visit numerous times but in reality it only happened twice before my wedding and during the 1+ year planning process. Christina was so on top of everything, providing amazing vendor recommendations (tailored to my style and vision) and then coordinating between us. She kept me in check with what needed to be done and when and with my budget. I may be biased but my wedding was perfect down to the very last detail. Guests would ask me, "are you so glad the planning is over?" and honestly, I was sad! I feel bad for anyone who is stressed during the planning process. It was one of the most exciting times for me and that's all thanks to Christina! She took all the guesswork and stress right out of it. For that alone she was by far the best investment. It also didn't hurt that she is so stylish and sweet!! During my wedding weekend she blew me away further. She was so attentive and didn't miss a beat from start to finish. I can not rave about her enough!! My wedding wouldn't have been what it was (perfect, stress free and beautiful) without her!

The morning after my wedding I said " I cant believe that was MY WEDDING!" It was everything and more than I imagined and that is all due to Christina Gillon Events. Her relationships with vendors, responsiveness, flexibility to work with your ideas and budget is second to none. I never felt any pressure to do anything a certain way. I could never thank her enough.

You'd be lucky to have her! I was hesitant to hire a full-service planner because I'm an incredibly picky type-A control freak, but because I'm also insanely busy and live in NYC (oh, and knew next to nothing about planning a wedding) I figured I could use some help. Christina made the entire process fun. It was honestly so enjoyable. In the 14 months of planning with her, I can't think of a single fight I got in with my fiancé, parents, and now in-laws. There were some moments of stress but even those I can count on one hand. I believe that without Christina, there would have been family fights, lots of panicked freak outs, and probably even some wedding-related disasters. Instead, I looked forward to our calls and meetings, and the wedding itself was perfect. Christina listened to my vision and ideas and knew how to best execute things that I couldn't wrap my head around. Plus, vendors were more willing to work with me because she was my planner, which speaks to her reputation. I look back on the planning process as one of the best parts of the wedding experience, and I think of Christina as a friend and I hope that we can stay in touch.

Christina is amazing!! We live in Destin, FL and she did the planning for our wedding in Massachusetts. We could not have done it without her! She found excellent vendors, handled pop up issues, made all the calls, dealt with my concerns and gave me an incredible sense of calm. Christina knows what she is doing and I owe an incredible day all to her guidance. Highly recommend!!

Christina is the most amazing wedding planner ever!!! She was professional, organized and made all of our dreams come true. My family and friends are still saying our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to. Our 140-person destination wedding went off without a hitch. The memories of that magical day are still so vivid in our minds we would do it again. If you want an amazing wedding, beyond your wildest imagination then Christina is the professional you want throughout this process.

Christina was a joy to work with from the start. She is professional, knowledgeable and grasps your ideas from her array of experience in the industry. She is prompt in responding with all itinerary, vendor quotes, questions and requests. She is organized and was on top of the timeline to get appointments set up in booking vendors for my wedding. The vendors coordinated the flow with Christina and her team perfectly that I can honestly say not a thing seemed to have gone unexpected on the big day. Christina Gillon Events has established a relationship with a great deal of the vendors which was extremely helpful in planning and our standard of expectation. Pinterest and Facebook are a huge help to communicate mood, colors, lighting with pictures, pinned boards and ideas to the vendors. I would definitely recommend using Christina Gillon Events knowing that everything will be taken care of and in good hands keeping you worry free on the big day!!

Christina and her team were amazing! Christina was the perfect choice to assist us in our wedding planning. We live in Toronto, Canada and we got married in Panama City Beach, Florida. Having Christina on our team took the stress off of our shoulders. We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Christina. She will forever have a special place in our hearts.

Christina and her team were WONDERFUL! I could not have gotten through the wedding planning process and the day without them! She was always there for phone calls, late night emails, and answered every question I had. I would highly recommend working with Christina!

Christina made the wedding planning process (which could be extremely stressful, time consuming, confusing and hard to manage) a breeze. She was nothing but professional all the way through and never skipped a beat. She took as much time as I needed to talk over things (which included hundreds of emails back and forth and LOTS of phone calls to talk over everything from big things to the smallest details). She was always quick to respond and always made time for me and made me feel like I was her only client. She has superb attention to detail which was displayed the most on our wedding day as everything ran smoothly and perfectly. I can not say enough great things about Christina! We just loved her and are sad the wedding planning process is over and we don't get to have our weekly chats with her! She is the best of the best--hands down!
