Best hire!

Christine and Lavish were recommended to me by a friend at work. She said her sister was a wedding planner and created beautiful weddings. She was not wrong! I am so impressed by Christine and her team. My husband and I were engaged for over a year and Gabriela took care of us in the beginning from getting a vision board together, a color palette selected, and an overall concept/theme put together. They recommended different vendors and were realist about setting a budget. I originally found their online aisle planner website difficult and hard to navigate at first and learned to really appreciate it down the road. It wasn't that it was hard to navigate more than I didn't take the time to explore all the different features. It was a life saver for me and later turned into my wedding bible because it housed all my vendor information, payment schedules, important dates, seating chart, checklists, and more.

Fast forward to the month before the wedding. Christine was amazing and set up all our final vendor meetings, etc. she made sure all the vendors talked to each other and coordinated everything with the hotel. She took care of all the vendor logistics, COI, etc. Which at the time, I didn't realize was a lot. She was crucial in selecting our decor and creating the timeline.

The day of the wedding comes and Christine was there bright and early setting everything up. We had an attendant, Tiffany, assigned to the bridesmaids, another one dedicated to the groomsmen, Christine setting up in the reception hall, and later, Diana, a runner and they all were amazing! They were there the entire time of us getting ready and making sure we could connect with Christine as she handled the vendors coming in. They made sure we were taken care of, checked in, and never left. Diana was also a life saver and had my shoes ready for me to change into after all the photos. I could go on for days and never capture how much Christine and her team truly helped us. They helped set up, tear down, managed my family and guests, managed all the vendors, and handled all the melt downs. They were the absolute best hire!

I am truly impressed and am forever grateful to Christine and her team. I 100% recommend Lavish & Co. for any wedding. They were truly amazing and went above and beyond, exceeded all expectations. My husband and I are not the easiest people and I know that. But, Christine and her team were so gracious and accommodating throughout the whole process. I have no complaints. Thank you Lavish for making my wedding a beautiful dream come true!

If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further...

Hiring Christine and the Lavish team was the best decision we could make for our wedding weekend. It was like hiring a friend who knew all the ins and outs of the wedding industry. She listened to our unique vision and creatively designed such an immaculate wedding that was beyond what we have ever dreamed about. She recommended the best vendors from florals, makeup, invitations, photography, DJ, caterers, and more. She was incredibly gracious and worked tirelessly when COVID delayed our wedding and found vendors to replace quickly when our venue/date changed. She was always such a calming presence that always offered her time and solutions to any problems that arose. The day of the wedding went smoothly because of their professionalism and close eye for detail. We each had a groom and bridal assistant. My bridal assistant Katey was AMAZING, she made sure I was arriving on time with where I needed to be, had water and food ready, she even had an emergency kit on hand when I had a dress malfunction. We could not have asked for a better team to create such a luxurious experience for ourselves and our wedding guests. We are going to miss the weekly emails and phone calls with Christine, Gabriela, and Nadia. If you want an elevated and unique wedding, Lavish is THE wedding team you never knew you needed until now. Thank you for creating such a spectacular wedding to share our love story with our friends and family!

Beautiful Oceanview Wedding

Christine and her team at Lavish Weddings were amazing. My husband and I live on the east coast, so we purchased the full-service package which was perfect for us. Planning a wedding during COVID is no easy task but Christine made it seem effortless. On top of planning during a pandemic, we had a few additional hiccups leading up to the big day. I didn’t have a dress less than 3 months before the wedding, Christine put me at ease and referred me to an amazing designer. The week before the wedding, my husband decided he wanted to rent an exotic car at the last minute and Christine went above and beyond to find him the perfect one. Our wedding was June 2021 and it was executed flawlessly, our friends are still raving about it. We also worked with Lavish Travels for our honeymoon to the Maldives which was spectacular.
Don’t look any further, just hire Lavish.

The best wedding planner

This review is such a long time coming! We got married March 2021 and could not have asked for a better wedding planner! From the beginning of our planning process in 2019, Christine was absolutely incredible.

We used Lavish for the full service planning, and were in contact with Christine from the very beginning of our engagement. I knew that I wanted a “Christine-planned wedding” as every photo from weddings she has planned were just so above and beyond. She walked us through every step of the way and met with vendors for us. Considering we live across the country, this was SO helpful and kept my stress down during the planning.

Even with COVID restrictions, my husband and I were determined that we were still going to have our dream wedding, on the date that we wanted. Even though logistically, a lot had to change, Christine kept our heads up and always had a plan B. For example, we had our first caterer go out of business and the second caterer not able to provide services due to their own covid restrictions. Before telling us the bad news, Christine would already have another option vetted, in our budget, and ready to go.

We ended up getting married at my parent’s house - Something I never envisioned could be my dream wedding. Christine. worked. magic. We were shocked at the transformation and what we were able to do! Looking back, it was the perfect venue all along- just needed Christine’s vision.

I cannot stress this enough - hire Lavish weddings and Christine to plan your wedding. It will be the best decision you make.

Can't recommend Lavish enough!

This review is long overdue (pre-pandemic) but had to say that Christine, Gabriela, and the rest of the Lavish team did such an amazing job making sure our entire wedding weekend went seamlessly and we still receive so many compliments about how beautiful and well-thought-out everything was. The event coordinator at our venue moved on to a new position about a month before our wedding but I never had to worry (even being on the opposite coast) because Christine and team double checked all the contracts and ensured nothing was missed. Throughout the whole process she always professional, organized, responsive, and had great suggestions/advice. My mom was also very impressed by her knowledge of Indian weddings and customs! Can't recommend her enough!

Hire them!

Lavish made our day absolutely perfect. They were always responsive in communication and really made our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER. The whole lavish team goes above and beyond. We can't thank them enough. Looking back we feel hiring Lavish weddings was the best thing we did. Christine, Jacob, Gabriella, and Jessica were the best coordinators we could dream of. Our day flowed smoothly and we felt absolutely zero stress on the day of our wedding. The team was there to help with everything. I don't think my train would have been bustled with out their help ;) They are top notch and go above and beyond with customer service.

"There was truly never a question as to whether or not I would hire a wedding coordinator - it was only a question whether or not Lavish Weddings would accept the job!"
As a bride who is also a Director of Catering at a major resort, I can see what true talent and passionate commitment look like. Christine gained my trust through her outstanding organizational and design skills, but more importantly, she kept my trust with her gracefulness, positive attitude, and persistent composure.
Christine was not only a calming force throughout my planning process, but she also was an excellent advisor and a consummate professional. She helped me design a wedding that I didn't even know was possible! You can't put a monetary value on what she brings to the table- the memories she helped create are priceless.
Lavish Weddings helped make every one of my wishes come true. The warmth that Christine, and her assistant Jacob, showed to my family and friends made my wedding day so bubbly and full of love...and all of this was achieved while they kept each detail on point.
I would recommend Lavish Weddings to absolutely everyone.
"Thank you for a truly FLAWLESS experience Lavish Weddings!"

I can't say enough amazing things about Christine! We came to her stressed about hosting a multi-event, back-to-back South Asian / Ismaili Muslim destination wedding. She handled the coordination and execution of all of the events with so much grace! She is the ultimate sweetheart and #girlboss. She won our love and trust the moment she joined our wedding! I no longer had to stress about all of the little details being thousands of miles away because I knew she was working her magic to make miracles happen for us behind-the-scenes. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness in every decision made us grow more fond of her and her work. Christine was able to share our vision so eloquently with our multiple vendors that our weekend ended up exactly as we had imagined it! After the events, we had guests coming up to us telling us how amazing and respectful our wedding coordinator was. We still talk about how wonderful Christine was to work with. We wish the entire Lavish team the absolute best!

I can’t say enough good things about Christine and her team at Lavish Weddings- the most important thing you need to know is that all of the 5-star reviews she has earned are completely on point. Here are some things that stood out to me in my experience working with her.
1) Versatility- The thing that immediately stood out to me about Christine’s work was the variety of styles I saw represented in her pictures. While some planners obviously had a specific “look” they always gave their clients I could see that Christine was an expert in all different kinds of looks. She was fantastic at lending her expertise to exactly what I wanted. Christine facilitates your vision- she doesn’t take it over for herself.
2) Dedication to service- I could always count on prompt replies from Christine. We had numerous conversations leading up to the day talking about the “checklist” and what she needed from me. I never felt like I was lost in the planning or forgetting something important. On the actual day of the wedding Christine and her team went way above and beyond. I came down with food poisoning the morning of and Christine not only found a doctor for me but also shifted the timeline to accommodate my illness (and still get me to the church on time, so to speak!). Once the medicine kicked in I didn’t have to worry about anything.
3) Creativity- Christine added so many amazing touches to our décor and guest experience that I never would have thought of. Some of my favorites included a red carpet where guests could get their pictures taken, larger than life poppies that adorned our escort table (we had a bit of a Wizard of Oz them going), and a personalized door tag for our guests on the night of our wedding.
Christine made the planning process as painless as it could be and had a stellar lineup of vendors to choose from. She is a delight to work with and will help you create the wedding of your dreams. I would recommend her 1000 times over.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
