Christina is an absolute Rockstar

Man, where to EVEN begin with Christina Cruz? She's an absolute fuckin Rockstar and the hero we needed to make sure our wedding ran smoothly and perfectly. Because the wedding was legitimately PERFECT. Not a single thing went wrong and so much of that was due to her work on our big day.
Christina is so easy to get a hold of and is super friendly and communicative. When we first met with her on zoom, my wife and I knew she was gonna make this all so easy for us. Christina handled all the logistics for the day of, as well as wrangling all the paperwork and vendors. She was able to take all the stress of actually running the wedding off our shoulders so we could just enjoy our party.
When working with vendors, she was able to save us literally thousands of dollars on our final bill, get all the needed signatures and permissions with the venue handled, and coordinated the table and chairs set up for the ceremony and reception.
Christina held our hands throughout the whole process and was able to answer any questions we had. She's an absolute fuckin Rockstar and I cannot recommend her services enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her handle their special day.

Christina is amazing!

Christina is amazing. We read all the positive reviews and wondered how good she could be. She was THAT good. Everything went smoothly thanks to her. She helped us out at the church and organized everything at the venue. She was extremely responsive and provided all the reassurance we needed. She recommended our DJ who absolutely killed it on the night. We’re so happy we found her.

If you’re having a wedding and reading through reviews, I’d check if she’s available for your date, have a chat with her and seal the deal before someone else does :)

Excellent and professional

Words cannot express how I feel about Rita and all of the work she did to make my wedding dreams come true. Being a pandemic bride extended our planning for almost two years and she was supportive and commutative every step of the way. Rita went above and beyond to make my wedding day something out of a fairy tale. 1000 stars, from the initial stages of planning, to setting up meetings, offering professional advice and executing our event. Every single guest has mentioned that our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended and that wouldn’t have been possible without Rita and her team. I look forward to hiring Rita for other events in the future!

Turn your Pinterest board to a beautiful reality!

I knew I wanted to work with Christina to plan our September wedding the moment she gave us a tour of our venue, South Coast Botanic Garden. It was our first (and only) tour of a venue and Christina was the first planner we met; almost immediately we knew our search for a venue and planner was done. Christina was so sweet and eager to make our day special even before she knew we planned to hire her.

We booked Christina for her “month-of” services but when I had questions months before the wedding, she didn’t hesitate to help. Though my husband may disagree, I like to think I was a chill bride but even the chillest of brides has a planner full of questions from how to get elderly guests to a faraway bathroom to how much water I needed to buy for a hot-summer wedding. Christina promptly answered every question and every time I spoke with her I felt like planning a wedding wouldn’t kill me after all. She had so many cost-saving tips that helped us have a gorgeous, budget-friendly wedding our friends and family are still talking about.

On the day of, we didn’t have to worry about a thing and Christina and her team ran their operation like seasoned pros. They are professional and fun! If you want to turn your Pinterest board into an unforgettable and stress-free wedding, hire Events Boutique!

Hire them!

We hired Christina at Events Boutique to plan our September wedding at Saddlerock Ranch and are so so glad that we did.

We were planning our (250-person, outdoor, Indian) wedding from across the country, so it was a huge logistical lift. We absolutely couldn't have done it without her.

She knows a ton of vendors in the LA area that she connected us with, and all of her the people she recommended were amazing. And I don't just mean catering and florals.... when we asked her if it would be possible to have churros at our rehearsal dinner, she immediately responded, "Of course, I'll call my churro guy!" He made fresh, amazing churros and ended up being the hit of the night.

But she also never pressured us to use the folks she knew, and was happy to work with new vendors as well -- even when they stopped answered her calls and emails and she had to drive in person across LA multiple times to get contracts signed!

She's amazing at dealing with problems. Since we were getting married in LA in September, we had no rain plan -- and when the forecast suddenly predicted rain three days before our wedding, she managed to get us a tent and plan an entirely new layout for our venue in a matter of days without breaking a sweat.

And just as importantly, she does it all with a smile on her face. She's so laid back, cheerful and funny -- truly the person you want on the other end of the phone line when you're feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning anxiety.

Her team is also amazing -- on our wedding day, they were absolutely professional, great at their jobs, and just lovely people.

We can't recommend her enough!

Thank you for making my wedding an unforgettable experience!

I just want to say how very thankful I came across The Events Boutique on Wedding Wire! Christina and her team were amazing. They made my wedding day feel so special. Christina knew exactly what my vision was for my wedding and she executed everything the way I wanted it! I had guests saying thank you to me for inviting them and complimenting how beautiful the decor was.

I recommend The Events Boutique to anyone who is getting married. You will thank me later! Trust me! I was stressed out planning it by myself and Christina took a load off my shoulders when she became a part of the planning process. So many thank you’s and infinite blessings to Christina!!!!!

Surpassed expectations

Christina made us feel so comfortable while planning our big day that we were able to go into it knowing she would take care of everything. We were able to be carefree and truly enjoy every minute of our wedding day. If anything went wrong we had no idea which is exactly how it should be! Christina also ended up running our rehearsal at the church which was not originally planned but she was happy to help out.

A Wonderful Experience

My husband and I booked Taneel and Christina of the Events Boutique after having a not so pleasant experience with the coordinators that came with our venue.

I have to say that booking them was probably the best decision I made all throughout the planning process.

They were an absolute dream to work with and they were so considerate of our preferences. We booked them for “day-of coordination services” and started working with them a few weeks before the wedding day. They were very responsive and listened to all of the concerns I had and worked with me to create the perfect timeline. I had made a ton of last minute changes and they were on top of keeping all of our vendors informed and were very accommodating of those changes.

When the wedding day came they were completely on top of everything! They rounded up the bridal party and made sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there. All of my bridal party and family thought they were so polite and amazing to work with, and my wedding day went by so smoothly because of them. If anything went wrong during the ceremony or reception I was certainly not aware of it or stressed about it, and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves and party with our guests.

At the end of the night my husband and I were the last ones at our wedding and Taneel and Christina were still there with us to make sure everyone got home and that we were okay and happy with how everything turned out.

They both seem to be so passionate about what they do and it really shows through how hardworking they both are and how pleasant they are to work with.

10/10 I would book them over and over again!
If you’re on the fence about it I can say with 100% certainty that you won’t be disappointed.

Best decision we made for our wedding!

Christina and her team were absolutely remarkable throughout wedding planning and the day/month of. We did the month of coordination package, but Christina offered so many tips on vendors and etiquette with very quick responsiveness. She and her team were so organized during the wedding and rehearsal while also being kind, flexible, and genuinely happy to be there. We highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
