CM Event Design is the BEST! Hired for Destination Wedding

We hired CM Event Design for our May 2023 Wedding in Walt Disney World. We hired Christine a little over a year before our wedding date. Everyone has that "fairy tale" dream of a wedding but CM Design brought our vision to life and then some! We were worried about working with the many vendors at WDW but Christine made everything so incredibly smooth for us as the Bride and Groom. Our wedding was an absolute dream and went off without a hitch. Her team is not only very professional but also some of the nicest people to work with! We felt very taken cared of throughout the year of planning as well as the day of. Typically the week of the wedding the Bride receives a lot of texts, calls, and emails however our 165 guests all went straight to our wedding planner! Christine and her team were able to handle every guest request without any issue.

Christine was very knowledgeable about everything we needed to do, from when to mail out save the dates, how to word our invitations for a destination wedding, and how to manage multiple events over a 4 day wedding weekend. We could not imagine pulling off our wedding without her! If you are looking for a local or destination wedding planner you will not find one better than CM Event Design!

Absolutely Incredible

The absolute best choice I made in this entire process was hiring Christine. I would have been getting married in the streets of Vegas in 2026 at the rate I was going! She was recommended to me by a work friend and came on late in the process. I felt like I didn’t leave her much time to work with. But she jumped in and just INSTANTLY got vendors and appointments and all the things I needed lined up and planned. She walked me through every single step of the way and was ALWAYS available when I had a question or needed to make a change. And the wedding day went off without one single issue. She even put together tape and a furniture pad to fix a broken heel on my reception shoes so I could still wear them! Could not be more grateful and cannot recommend more!

Hurricane nightmare turned into a dream

I highly recommend Christine McDevitt with CM Event Design as a wedding planner. She was hired to be the planner for my daughter’s out-of-state wedding on November 11,2022. Originally, we thought we would need her to get all the vendors and details needed for an out of state wedding. She did a wonderful job keeping everything organized with vendors, time, and budget. She did all of this and so much more.

Christine has excellent communication skills and extremely organized, but most of all she is very resourceful. Her resourcefulness is what saved our daughter’s wedding and made her dream a reality. Two days before the wedding, the venue in Daytona Beach took a direct hit by a Category 1 hurricane. Despite being relatively weak, Daytona had significant damage including a collapsed sea wall.

Christine treated us like family. I truly felt like this wedding was as important to her as it was to us. She changed her flight and left two days earlier so she would be there. However, this also meant she was stuck in a hotel in an area that was evacuated. She was unable to leave the hotel to check on the venue.

The day of the wedding, the basement of the venue was still flooded, which contained the chairs for the reception. The yard, where the ceremony was to take place in only a few hours, was flooded and had debris from the storm. Christine did not panic, but instead called every resource she had.

Somehow on the day of the wedding, everything was cleaned up and she even found gold Chiavari chairs to replace the flooded chairs! I honestly do not know what we would have done without her! This is why you hire a wedding planner because there will always be unexpected events! What could have been the biggest disaster, was instead the beautiful ceremony and reception I always dreamed my daughter would have. I received so many compliments on everything from the flowers, cake, and even the set-up of the tent and tables.

Christine and CM Event Design goes above and beyond!
