My Big Day Events

I cannot recommend Christine and her team enough. Every single detail was taken care of for my event. Even the details I hadn’t thought of! These women were fantastic. I will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

A team of professionals from all different backgrounds and with many talents and years of experience. Everything I needed was taken care of for all of my marketing and event needs! Their friendly personalities with a "We can Do it!" attitude made all of my anxiety and stresses ease with every conversation. Highly recommended for all of your marketing and event needs!

Planning a wedding from out-of-state is a daunting task, but when you find the right wedding planner, it is a manageable and enjoyable process. I was very fortunate to find Christine Forester of My Big Day, LLC to plan, direct, and orchestrate my daughter’s wedding in Fort Collins with less than three months until the wedding. She built a venue from the ground up on a working horse ranch, where dirt, wind, dust, and flies prevailed. Christine’s expertise, work ethic, and organizational skills were instrumental in creating a memorable wedding experience for the bride, groom, their families, and our guests.
Christine Forester agreed to take on my daughter’s wedding after I was forced to fire our previous planner for non-performance. Christine hit the trail running and called to secure many of the remaining vendors that were necessary to finish the wedding reception puzzle, and she did this in short order. Her suggestions were excellent for cake/dessert (Renee Buzzell of Starlight Dessert Bar), hors d’oeuvres (Beverly of Foothills Catering), videographer (John Hunt of Arcadian Pictures), a horse trailer bar (Mike Heitzler of On the Rocks), Wilbur’s Total Beverage, and even suggested an excellent source of baklava to celebrate the bride’s Greek heritage. She had close working relationships with Lynzee the catering manager from our outstanding caterer, Nordy’s BBQ and Grill as well as Alexis from Blue Moon Rental, who furnished exquisite restroom facilities that many of our guests are still commenting on.
Christine was an excellent communicator and understood the wedding process from beginning to end. She answered all my questions in detail, day after day and responded to my emails promptly with suggestions, explanations, and good advice. She scheduled phone conferences and made site visits to consult with the rental company to formulate a site plan. She worked well with each vendor and asked pertinent questions to create the best results. Christine Forester and her team contacted all the vendors, created a detailed timeline, sent me payment reminders for vendors, and worked out many logistical issues without my having to get involved. She volunteered to do many extra tasks that were not delineated in her contract such as setting all the tables, making signage for signature drinks, carrying all the chairs from the wedding ceremony into the tent, creating the liquor list, looking over the rental contract and making suggestions, advising me about wedding invitation etiquette, checking the restrooms throughout the evening and even bringing extra toilet paper (just in case!). She even took on the challenge of coordinating sources of electricity, water, and fly mitigation which could have been deal breakers during the reception!
Throughout my association with Christine, I found her to be kind, compassionate, a good listener, hard working, efficient, and an excellent leader from beginning to end. Christine and her team took over the day of the wedding and finished every detail without being asked. As the mother of the bride, I walked onto the venue and was proud of every aspect of the finished product. Christine Forester and her team worked behind the scenes to produce a well executed and planned affair that was memorable for all who attended. (She even boxed up all the left overs and placed them in the refrigerator for us!)
I cannot overstate the depth of my admiration, respect, and awe for the job Christine did as a wedding planner. She filled in gaps between vendor services and did what was necessary to create a polished and beautiful event. Christine worked with the impossible and made it look easy. I could not have survived without her guidance, positive attitude, and tireless efforts. I recommend her unequivocally for any event, party, and yes, wedding celebration! I had total confidence that Christine and her team would create the vision we planned for the wedding/reception and execute it flawlessly. And I was 100% correct!
