There are no words to fully express our gratitude to Christie and Hailey for ensuring that our big day was everything we hoped for and more. Having no idea what to expect or how to prepare for a wedding, we were so worried that things wouldn’t go according to plan, especially my mom. Hiring the pros at Mise En Place was the best thing we could have ever done. There are so many little details involved in a wedding that you would never even think of. They are organized and have the most helpful worksheets to help you get things in order. Christie and Hailey have weddings down to a science and are cool under pressure… especially when a pandemic is taking over the world. We had our wedding on March 14th which was right before COVID-19 really blew up. Days before the wedding, we had quite a few guests cancel, and I was freaking out. I immediately called Christie and she put my mind and anxiety at ease. She contacted all the vendors to ensure that they were still “on” for our big day. Most importantly, Christie and Hailey are two of the kindest people that we have ever met. They are an absolute pleasure to work with and they build lasting relationships with their clients. I see frequent Instagram posts from Mise En Place wishing their clients a “happy anniversary,” or “congratulations.” Mis En Place isn’t for 8 hours or a month, but for a lifetime. Weddings can be so stressful but it is so important to enjoy the process, and more importantly, your big day. Mis En Place will allow you cherish the moment with your significant other on your special day which is what it is all about.

Mise En Place Events saved our wedding! Christie and Hailey are more than wedding planners, they are superheroes! Planning a wedding during the pandemic was a feat in itself. Throw in going through two caterers, three cake bakers, two wedding planners, and the loss of a family member. Needless to say the odds were against us and many people thought that we were crazy for continuing to push through. A month before our wedding I was unable to get in touch with our original wedding coordinator. I knew Christie was a wedding planner, so I reached out, explained my situation, and she was game! I could hardly believe it! A month before the wedding and she was absolutely certain we could still make it happen. And WE DID! Once Christie and Hailey took the reins I knew I was I good hands. They were perfect combination of personable and 100% professional- prompt response to all communication, went over every detail in our in-person meeting, walked me through navigating their software, and even reached out to me during my time of loss. On the day of they were there from beginning to end, everything fell into place (pun intended), and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Mise En Place Events really does make dreams come true! Our Day was absolutely perfect. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

We've had the pleasure of working with Mise En Place Events on many weddings over the years. Christie, Hailey & team... Thank you so much for all you do. You really do have an amazing team and are an absolute joy to work with! Everything is done with excellence... from the way you design your weddings, to your attention to detail, your communication, how you interact and have fun with the brides, families and friends has been so awesome to see as well. Thank you:)

Christie and her team were absolutely wonderful. We used their Event Management service. Christie was great at taking over all the details that I had planned and made sure everything was finalized and coordinated for the wedding. She was extremely organized and helped answer all of my questions and random emails during the planning process and even let me shipped a few things to her house in the week or two leading up to the wedding as I was from out of town. The day of our wedding went off without a hitch and I know that was all because of Christie and her team. They made it so that I didn’t have to worry about anything that day and carried out of all our details. We also had a desert table of homemade cookies that Christie set up and it was absolutely stunning. Just one of the many ways Christie and her team went above and beyond that day. She was a life saver for me during this process and my only regret is not getting the larger package and bringing her on for the entire planning process. Use Mise En Place for your wedding and you will not be disappointed.

Christie and Mise en Place events are the absolute dream team. I don’t plan on getting married again, maybe a vow renewal, but I would hire her every single time and recommend her to anyone and everyone. There will always be a special place in my heart for Christie who made my dream day a reality.
The day after getting engaged I knew I wanted a destination wedding in New Orleans. Only visiting a few times at this point, I knew very little, especially about the New Orleans wedding industry. I needed a planner. I contacted MANY potential wedding planners. I spoke on the phone with dozens to learn about their style and personality. Christie immediately stood out. She listened to my ideas, had concrete feedback before we even officially hired her, and already made me feel more relaxed about my wedding day. Still before officially hiring her, I asked Christie to meet me for a venue tour at my front runner venue (where I ended up getting married). Her experience and skills immediately showed. She knew exactly what she was doing, how to run a smooth wedding day, and how to handle both my mom and my anxiety (which is not easy to do). After a stressful two days of venue visiting with my mom, I called Christie in tears. Tired, overwhelmed, unsure of what to do she talked to me and calmed me down. AGAIN, I still hadn’t officially hired her, and she was already going out of her way to help me. She told me to go back visit the first venue, which I did, and immediately knew that was my venue and she was planner.
From there on working with Christie was a dream. She answered my emails right away. She took my calls when I really needed to be calmed down. She had ideas for vendors when I wasn’t sure where to turn. She helped me find the vendors I wanted to splurge on and the vendors I wanted to save on. She really went above and beyond in the planning phase. I used her planning website checklist regularly because it had everything I needed to do broken down by the month and then days as we got closer to the big day. One month out we set up a call to go through the entire day in detail. After that she called ALL my vendors to confirm and made sure all the details came together. There is so much to do month of and she helped make sure it all ran smoothly so I could focus on some fun personal details I wanted to include. I loved the wedding planning process and so much of that is due to how much FUN and easy Christie made it.
Day of her and Amanda ran the show. From the moment they got there they were busy making sure EVERY detail I had envisioned and more came together. They kept the entire day on track. Assisted with any emergencies that came up, there were a few and they handled them smoothly and quickly, so I never even knew. They came to find me for every major wedding event and made sure my husband and I didn’t miss a thing. Seriously the day was an absolute dream and I never could have done it without them. At the end of the night, all our personal items were boxed up and loaded for us, so we could enjoy our time with our guests. She even called the next day to make sure we had all our belongings and got our marriage certificate mailed.
You often hear people rave about the music, food, flowers, etc. at a wedding but usually not the planner. In my case, I have had a least a dozen guests comment on how wonderful Christie and Amanda are. They took care of not just my needs, but my guests, and made sure everything was perfect. Christie and Amanda, thank you! To all future brides, hire Christie, it will be the best decision you make in the wedding planning processes.

Christie made the wedding day perfect as well as everything leading up to it! She put me (and most importantly, my mom) at ease by going over all of the details and helping us think through logistics. Christie's personality is the ideal mix of fun, calm, and authoritative for a wedding coordinator. Her assistant (Amanda) for the wedding day was awesome, too. They made sure that my new husband and I had everything we needed and did not stress about anything. I can't recommend Christie and Mise En Place Events enough!

Christie and Amanda were one of the BEST possible investments we made when planning our wedding! Despite putting our best foot forward in trying to handle everything ourselves, we soon realized the only way to ensure we had the chance to experience our wedding day instead of dealing with the minutiae we worried would crop up at every turn was to hire a coordinator. Not only did the manage coordination with all of our vendors and teams; they beautifully handled the last-minute changes to ceremony location due to rain in the forecast, kept us on schedule whenever we strayed so we could accomplish everything we set out to do, made sure we had food and drink and time to ourselves to just sit back and enjoy the moment stress free, and just generally took care of any and everything that came up throughout the day, meeting each new challenge with the same smiling enthusiasm. We would not have made it through the day without them!

Christie did a fantastic job ensuring every detail of our wedding went as planned. I'm so glad we hired her for our day-of coordination - I didn't have to worry about a thing. She went above and beyond and we were able to have FUN at our wedding, which is a rare and priceless gift!

Christie was no doubt one of the best decisions I made during the planning process for our wedding! We hired Christie to help the month leading up and the day of the rehearsal and wedding day. I honestly do not know what I would have done without her. She was so helpful, positive and laid back! If anything went wrong I would never know bc she had everything under control. She sent a detailed plan for the day of and followed through with everything she said she would do. The wedding day and night was so enjoyable and such a breeze for me bc she handled everything. I didn't have to think about where to be and when, about decorations and where those would go, about talking to and paying vendors. She had it ALL under control. Not to mention she is the sweetest, down to earth woman. Christie and her assistant were so helpful and I highly reccomend them for your wedding planning needs!

Choosing Christie as my wedding planner was hands down the best decision I made in my wedding planning process. I was planning my wedding from 500 miles away while completing physical therapy school and was in major need of help with finishing up details. Christie handled finding my final vendors, ordering my invitations, ordering linens and decor, and coordinating all my vendors and day of schedule. Christie went above and beyond my expectations of how I thought a wedding planner could help me. I could not have planned it the same without her professionalism, expertise, and dedication. I tend to be a very organized, particular person but I was unable to put that effort to planning my wedding due to being in school. I quickly realized that Christie was even more organized than I was! I had absolutely no stress during the wedding planning process or the day of. All of my friends/family commented on how calm of a bride I was and this was all thanks to Christie. I highly recommend Christie to anyone; even if you don't think you need a wedding planner, you do!
