Best Wedding Planner Ever!

Christine and the Metta Events team helped make our wedding planning and day absolutely perfect! We brought her on a couple months before the wedding and our only regret is not having had her help sooner. Her attention to detail and organization, knowledge of the local area and unwavering patience is truly unmatched. We felt calm while planning because of her help and positive attitude. We highly recommend Christine and her team to help plan and execute your big day!

Amazing 21st Bday Party

Christine helped plan my 21st bday party in march and I cannot overstate how great she was! All I had done was a venue and she basically did everything else. All the vendors she works with are amazing from the DJ to the photographer to the amazing flowers. However, the highlight had to be a giant cake shaped like a Fireball bottle. She was so responsive and helped plan the party on fairly short notice (around a month). I asked her to run with anything and she did! (while still informing me/ asking me if I liked her ideas). It was one of the best nights ever and it was all thanks to Metta Events! PS photo of cake does not really do it justice but I had to include it (and obviously wasnt taken by photographer)
