Incredible wedding planner!

From start to finish, Christine and her team went above and beyond to make our special day everything we dreamed of and more! The attention to detail, creativity, and calm demeanor made all the planning and the wedding day go so smoothly and it truly felt effortless! On the big day, everything was perfectly executed. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and memorable experience. We truly felt like we were in the best hands. Also shout out to Jordan for helping me bring all my design ideas to life, our day was so beautiful thanks to her suggestions! We are so grateful to Christine and her team, highly recommend!

Hire Jordan and her team!

My husband and I hired CW events (Jordan) for partial planning assistance with our wedding. We needed day of coordination and consultations leading up to our event to help us stay organized and of course to provide us with guidance as we made decisions along the way. We would have been completely lost without Jordan, she was so responsive that she felt like a friend by the end of it all. She was the most essential person we hired and I cannot recommend her enough!

CW Events or go home

How to review CW Events…If I could just say there is CW Events and then everyone else, I would. However, Christine Wheat and her team deserve a review. It’s difficult to clearly summarize the incredible feat it was to have our 3-day wedding event at the Sagamore Resort on Lake George that included a rehearsal dinner on a boat, a welcome dinner in the Pavilion, the day of wedding festivities throughout the grounds which started at 8 AM and didn’t end until well after midnight including fireworks, the after party, and then Sunday brunch in yet another venue, and have not one hiccup. Not. A. One. In addition, there were 11 groomsmen, 7 bridesmaids, and a flower girl who all had their separate schedules, the hair and makeup schedule, the photographer’s schedule, the florist’s schedule, the rental company’s schedule, the 14-piece band’s schedule, the DJ’s schedule, and meals which had to be coordinated for all the above vendors. Who was in charge of these schedules? Christine, of CW Events with her signature style and grace flawlessly orchestrating all of it. Additionally, let me not forget there was the golf cart following my 92-year-old mother around also thought of and coordinated by Christine. At one point, I noticed her delivering a plate of food so that my daughter, the bride and her new husband, got something to eat during the photography session. Talk about no stone left unturned. Leading up to our wedding, Christine guided us in the planning process over 2 years. With bi-weekly zoom calls, vendor suggestions who turned out to be fabulous, her design and color advice from everything from invitations to linens to name just a few, her etiquette knowledge, her incredible organizational and computer skills, and most impressively the reputation she has garnered with The Sagamore Resort enabled us to be fully prepared. I do not know if one can truly appreciate what it takes to put on this sort of event and have nothing go wrong. So I will tell you: It takes a wildly successful professional with years of experience, and high expectations of her team all laser focused with one goal: to see her clients happy. Her clients, meaning my husband and I were more than happy. We were ecstatic. So I will say it again….there is CW Events and then there is everyone else. She is simply the best wedding planner on planet Earth.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
