About

The warmth of sunshine has always reminded me of home. It has reminded me of the instant warmth you feel when seeing an old friend or embracing your partner. It is the warm flutter in your belly when you fall in love for the first time. It’s the goosebumps all over your body when you hear a story that moves you so greatly and deeply. It’s when you feel like the world is on your side and even the sun is cheering you on. It’s that person in your life that is always that ray of sunshine; that person who always makes you feel so special even on the days you may not. It’s the sense of peace when you make amends with someone or a situation. It’s the happiness you feel when doing what you love; especially when creating. It’s the calmness you feel when you lay your head down after a long days of work. It’s the smile on your face when a stranger compliments you or does something nice.

I believe that every love story and special life moment creates the sunniest of days - To love and to be loved is to feel the sun on both sides. What a blessing it is to be apart of these special moments and to experience these feelings with our clients.

It’s within these feelings of joy, love and light that Sunshine Events was born.

XO,

Christina

Amazing Team to Work With

Working with Sunshine Events and Christina’s team was truly such an amazing experience. From start to finish, everything was handled with so much professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Their team is incredibly organized, responsive, creative, and genuinely passionate about making every event feel seamless and special.

As a vendor, it always means so much to work alongside planners who create such a calm, supportive, and positive environment for everyone involved. Christina and her team made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, and it was clear how much they care about both their clients and vendor teams.

We absolutely loved collaborating with them and would be so excited to work together again in the future!

The BEST decision EVER!!!

As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the chance to work with so many planners over the years—but Sunshine Events truly stands in a league of their own. After experiencing firsthand how incredible they are on wedding days from a vendor perspective, I knew without hesitation that I had to have them plan my own wedding.
Christina and Sarah went above and beyond in every way imaginable. From the very beginning, they kept me organized and on track with every to-do, handled communication seamlessly, and helped me find the most amazing vendors. They were by our side for every venue visit, rental meeting, and everything in between—it felt like having the most supportive, detail-oriented team guiding us through the entire process.
On the wedding day itself, they were nothing short of extraordinary. As someone who is very type A and works in the industry, I fully understand how stressful weddings can be—but I felt zero stress. That alone says everything. They created such a calm, supportive environment where I could truly be present and soak in every moment, knowing everything was being handled flawlessly.
Not only did they take incredible care of us, but they also made the entire experience so easy and enjoyable for my family—especially my mom, who was able to be fully present and actually enjoy the day without worrying about a single detail. Our entire family absolutely adored the Sunshine team.
They also planned our night-before celebration at my family home, and it was just as seamless and beautiful. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and again, my family got to simply enjoy the moment—which is such a gift.
Sarah was especially amazing, and truly made such an impact throughout the entire experience.
Hiring Sunshine Events was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend them enough 🤍

A wonderful experience!

Christina and her team are amazing! My husband and I hired Christina about a year before our wedding, and she kept me sane throughout the entire planning process. We checked in monthly to make sure everything stayed on track, and she even helped us navigate the possibility of switching venues when wildfires affected the area (thankfully, we didn't end up needing to!)

On our wedding day, Christina and her team were incredibly attentive- making sure we were taken care of, staying on schedule, and handling every detail seamlessly. I truly can't thank them enough for everything they did.

I'd recommend Christina to any bride looking for a coordinator or planner for their big day!

Aly and here team went above and beyond for our special day!

Tanya and I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with Aly and her team in preparation for our special day. We encountered numerous hurdles, namely a venue change after being displaced by the Pacific Palisades fire.

Despite these hurdles, Aly was always at least 3 steps ahead, anticipating our needs proactively and ensuring Tanya and I felt calm and collected. This is a testament to the level of care Aly puts into her craft.

I would highly recommend Aly for all of your wedding planning needs. She's someone you'll feel comfortable and at ease throughout each phase of your wedding planning journey.

Dream Team!

We cannot thank Tori, Sarah, and Bethany enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From start to finish, they were organized, calm, creative, and incredibly thoughtful. They took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life in a way that felt effortless and magical.

Because of them, we were able to fully enjoy every moment without a single worry. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and kind support throughout the process made all the difference. We truly felt cared for, and the day was everything we dreamed of — and more.

We’re so grateful to have had this amazing team by our side. Highly, highly recommend!

Thank you for everything!!

Aly and her team were nothing short but amazing! When I was looking for a wedding planner sunshine events stood out to me for their detail to design and their fast response! When I spoke to Aly for the first time on the phone it just clicked! She was so warm and answered all my questions with confidence! Throughout the planning process she was my rock!!!! When I needed her the most - after we found out that we had to relocate our wedding due to the palisades fires - she immediately searched for new venues and inquired with them and insured me that it will be beautiful and special no matter what! Which it was… mainly because of her and the sunshine events team! They made sure our day was worry free and everything was smooth! It was the best day of our lives and we thank their team for making it a possibility! I could not recommend Aly and her team more! I wish we could do it all over again!! They are truly the best! Love, John and Anna ❤️

The absolute BEST planners in the game

We are so beyond thrilled and feel so lucky to have had the Sunshine Events team plan and coordinate our wedding day. Every part of the process was so seamless and helpful and every person on their team is incredible vibes and so sweet. All of the preparation made us feel so confident and like we did not have to worry about a single thing all day long, which is priceless and exactly what we were looking for. Special shoutout to Sarah who was with me all day and truly made the day flow immaculately!!!! Our day was especially complicated with multiple locations, transportation schedules, etc and Sarah is just so good at her job, we got to focus on getting married and being in the moment and not all of those tiny details. We are SO grateful and could not recommend Sunshine enough!!!

Best planning team ever!!!

I cannot recommend Christina and her Team enough!!!! If you are a bride and looking for a wonderful planner, look no further!! This team far exceeded my expectations for a wedding planner, and made the entire planning process so enjoyable!! Which as a result, made our wedding weekend that much more fun & we were able to be so present. Working with Christina and having her by our side through it all made the process seamless and reduced our stress so much.

She and the entire team is incredibly professional, personable, and communicative. They are super organized and take any stress off of your plate.

We had a unique situation, with the Palisades fires impacting our original venue, which resulted in us needing to get a new wedding venue 4 weeks before our wedding day. Christina was so patient and reassured us that our wedding would happen no matter what. she helped us get a new venue, rehearsal dinner, and sorted out all the details with us with so much patience and empathy. She truly is the reason we were able to pull it off, and have such an amazing weekend regardless of all of the changes. So so thankful for Christina and this entire team!!! I wish I was getting married again so I could work with them again lol

Aly is the most incredible wedding planner!

We got married in July and had Aly help us plan our wedding based on the recommendation of a family friend and it was the absolute best decision! She was so helpful in explaining every step in the planning process and keeping us on track with getting things done. Meeting with her always relieved the anxiety I had built up on my own by having her assure us we were perfectly on track. We planned our wedding in 5 months so I was constantly worried we were behind on something but Aly broke everything down for us into an easy to follow timeline and made sure everything got done on time.

During our rehearsal and on our wedding day I was so grateful for her and her team, they set up everything exactly how I imagined it! They did such an incredible job designing the reception and making the tables so beautiful. We had been warned by several friends and family members to remember not to stress the day of because something inevitably always goes wrong but with Aly at the helm literally nothing was out of place or off schedule. She checked in with me constantly in the bridal suite and made sure we had everything we needed, she made sure photos were on time, and had her team set up our second location reception venue exactly how we wanted it.

We had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Aly and I absolutely recommend her as a wedding or event planner!!
