We had the absolute best experience working with Cristina as our wedding planner. From the very beginning, Cristina was an absolute pleasure to work with — warm, patient, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. She is incredibly professional and consistently went above and beyond for us, always generous with her time and attention.
Cristina crafted a wedding design that felt uniquely us, offering thoughtful guidance whenever we needed it while still making sure every detail reflected our personalities and style. Her vendor recommendations were phenomenal; we felt confident with every choice because she only works with the very best.
One of Cristina’s greatest strengths is her mastery of the wedding timeline. She is remarkably detailed and organized, and her expertise ensured our entire wedding day flowed seamlessly from start to finish. We truly had nothing to worry about and she had it all handled!
We are so grateful to have had Cristina by our side throughout this process. She made planning enjoyable and stress-free, and we couldn’t imagine our wedding without her!!

10/10 amazing.
From the moment we started dreaming about our wedding, Cristina at Carismas Designs became more than just a planner, she became a friend. Her creativity and care turned our vision into something truly magical. She really listened to what we wanted, and made it even better than we imagined. Every detail, every moment was handled with such love and attention. She didn't just help plan a wedding, she created a cherished memory that we will hold in our hearts forever. I can't thank Carismas Designs enough for giving us the wedding of our dreams. It was perfect, and we'll miss working with you & our weekly phone calls. 10/10

Wedding Coordinating Perfection
From the moment I met Cristina over zoom for an initial interview/consultation, I knew she was the coordinator for us. While we did a lot of the primary planning and hiring of vendors, Cristina came in about 3 months out and began to take over the reins. As a fellow Type-A person, what really sold me on Cristina and Carismas Design was her promise of an exceptionally detailed timeline. When I tell you it was down the minute!!! It made my brain so happy to see every detail laid out. She was so professional, offered advice and answered questions, helped me plan our wedding from ACROSS THE COUNTRY, and provided exactly the kind of service we needed. She and her assistant are also exceptionally kind. Cristina really took the time to get to know me and my husband before our wedding, which made it feel like she was a trusted friend on the day. I sincerely felt so in the moment on our day, because I knew Cristina had everything handled. I didn't have to lift a finger. Book with Carismas Design! You won't regret it. Thank you Cristina for everything!

Cristina is beyond amazing + the best value!!!
OMG. I am still over the moon about the wedding Cristina planned for us!! I was in such a panic having to plan my wedding from Florida without one trip back to The Jersey Shore and Cristina was my savior!! Not only was her price a terrific value, she was incredible professional, thorough and kept all of us in line throughout the stages of planning - I wanted to be heavily involved but didn't know what it would take to build out a venue of our own - and Cristina was on top of everything!!! I didn't get to make it back to meet her until the day of but she made my day/evening so magical even during thunderstorms!! I am beyond grateful and wish we could plan more wedding together!!! She helped me navigate my family dynamics and was always available when I needed her. She worked with all the vendors and ensured set up went so smooth. I love her!!

The Best of The Best!!!!!!
Cristina is the absolute best there is. While every aspect of our wedding was perfect in our eyes, the one thing I can’t stop talking about is how EASY our day was. Cristina made sure that my dress was perfectly steamed, that all of my details were gathered and ready for the photographer, and that everything was running according to schedule. She was a huge help in facilitating our first look, and making sure everyone was where they needed to be for photos and our reception entrances. She was also the biggest advocate for me, and everything I wanted for my wedding. She is a huge part of the reason I was able to have my dream outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour, when rain threatened our whole morning. Cristina listened, got everyone to set up outside, and sure enough the sun shined as I walked down the aisle. I cannot thank Cristina enough, and I would recommend Carismas to anyone in need of an excellent planner!!!

Attentive, Experienced, and Comprehensive!
We hired Carismas Design to give us a full wedding plan for our Vow Renewal in South Jersey this June. We were planning the event remotely from Texas, with a toddler in tow - so we were in need of a competent representative on the ground to guide us through the process. Cristina did not disappoint! Cristina is attentive, experienced, and comprehensive. She walked us through the entire process, from start to finish, and was incredibly generous with her time and support. She conducted detailed vendor research, did contract negotiations, and managed communications. She was professional and always respectful, drawing from her wealth of experience in the industry, but always prioritizing our preferences. She and her team are highly competent, and allowed us to relinquish the reins during our big day(s) so that we could enjoy. We recommend her highly!

Hire Cristina!!!
Cristina was a godsend in the planning process!! From the start of our first phone call she made me feel so at ease and calmed so many of my anxieties regarding planning. She helped us design the most beautiful Save the Dates and invites and mailed out all of them for us which was so extremely helpful. From there, she coordinated so well with all of our vendors which helped the day move along seamlessly. She was quick to take care of any small fires that arose during the day itself as well. I could not recommend Cristina enough. If you have any anxiety at all regarding the planning process/the day of- hire Cristina and she will make sure that you have the wedding day of your dreams.

Amazing, Speechless, Caring!
Where do I start?!
I started planning my wedding in 2022. I never thought I would need a wedding planner nor a wedding coordinator, I really thought I had everything planned and the days would fall into place. Let me just say my wedding was two weekends & consisted of 4 days. I was in for my money. I am so so happy I decided to look on thumbtack and searched day and night until I found carismas design! Cristina is an angel sent to help all brides who have done all their DIYs and want their dream wedding to be executed as planned. Cristina & I started doing phone calls at least two/three months in advance of my wedding. The phone calls became so regular I miss them up until now & my wedding was two weeks ago! The Carisma’s team from Cristina to Vicky & Jermey all of them are such wonderful people! I could not have had the most beautiful and relaxed wedding if it was not for this team. They handled it all and did more work that was agreed to. They will meet all of your expecting and then some! For now and forever I will always recommend getting a wedding coordinator to eliminate the stress off of yourself when it come to the wedding day - believe it or not even when you plan it down to the que, it will never go that way, but this team will make sure they do their best to make everything go smoothly. So many thank yous! I can always look back on my wedding and say I had an amazing time because of Cristina & Carismas Design!
Xoxo, your 2024 two weekend memorial bride ❤️

Best wedding planner ever!
Our wedding would not have gone so smoothly without Cristina and Carismas Design! From day 1 Cristina was there for us every step of the way. When it came to our wedding day, I was blown away by how Cristina took charge to make sure everything and everyone was where they were supposed to be. Cristina goes above and beyond to make sure your vision comes to life and we are SO thankful we found her. If you’re on the fence about booking a wedding planner/day of coordinator, look no further Cristina is the answer that you won’t regret!

Month of Wedding Coordinator
11 minutes agoNEW-Edit
We found Cristina after interviewing several planners for our wedding at the Chapel at Sandy Hook. We needed someone who could confidently handle the level of detail that goes with a “DIY” venue, particularly managing vendors and flow of catering, and Cristina and her team delivered!!
We hired Carismas Designs for 1 month planning services. She tactfully took control of situations when we needed it, yet felt like a solid friend on the family team throughout the process. She even helped us facilitate a last minute tent flip and spent the time on calls days prior to ensure we had our seating chart correct before printing - things we may have overlooked on our own.
All of our guests commented on how effortless and seamless everything felt. We will be recommending Carismas Designs to family and friends for years to come!

Cristina is incredible!
Cristina is incredible! We are so happy we had her help us navigate the month leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. During every phone call she walked us through every single aspect of our wedding planning. She did not miss a beat! Her professionalism, helpfulness, friendliness, and patience throughout the whole process was above and beyond. We don’t know what we would have done without her! If you are thinking about hiring a month-of planner, look no further.

Wedding Planner
Cristina and her team at Carismas Design are absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend her more. She is professional, kind, flexible, creative, and a genuine person who will do her best to make sure your event is successful. She did an amazing job with our wedding reception, and despite two delays due to covid and family emergencies, she stayed with us through this and helped our final day be as amazing as we had hoped. She helped us rethink our reception day celebration, find a new venue, and her vendor recommendations and relationships were fantastic. I received compliments on her professionalism from our reception venue, and couldn't have imagined a better person to work with. Not to mention she has worked with two of my friends as their wedding coordinators, and came highly recommended =) We are so thankful for her and her team, and highly recommend her for any future events!

Your wedding best friend!
I was told by my venue that I would be required to find a Wedding Coordinator and I didn't even know what that was at the time which should have been my first clue that I might need some help planning my wedding. I searched and called around and after talking to Cristina on the phone it was clear she knew way more about what it took to pull off a great wedding than me or anyone else I spoke too. She was definitely coming in with A game skills. One of my favorite tools Cristina uses to help organize is a computer program called Aisle Planner. It made the process so much more clear and also gave me the ability to see what was complete or still needed work and I could interact with it when it was convenient for me. She was also able to give me and the vendors documents that were extracted form the work we did on there to use as guides for the day.
Beyond her amazing organizing skills and take charge personality, it was clear to me from day 1 that Cristina genuinely cared about how my wedding day came together. She put her heart into it and I really looked forward to our calls because it felt like I was planning with my best friend, it made a stressful process so much fun. Anytime I would get overwhelmed she would find a way to simplify or just take care of it for me.
My wedding came out absolutely perfect, it was a dream come true and I owe it to her. She helped me perfectly execute my vision and when I woke up the next day and it was all over, every single important item from the wedding and ceremony was right there in my hotel room packed up with care and I could just continue to enjoy the moment without worry, with my husband.
My entire family adored Cristina and I do too. If you are reading this to decide if you need help or if she's the right fit, she is. Congratulations and good luck planning, Cristina will make the process fun and your wedding will come out as perfectly as mine. Love you Cristina 👰🏼♀️💍✨
It was a pleasure working with Cristina from Carismas Design for our month of wedding coordinator. Cristina was so responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the process - we were so appreciative of her flexibility, friendliness, and professionalism. We saw Cristina go above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly - from numerous meetings to discuss all the details, to contacting our vendors, to arriving early and being so hands on during the wedding event. Cristina is the epitome of detail-oriented - making sure everything was taken care of and that we had all the nuts and bolts in place. In addition, we were blown away by her cultural sensitivity as our wedding involved Jewish and Latin traditions. Cristina was patient, asked questions, and listened to our many lengthy explanations with a smile, curiosity, and interest - and most importantly, ensured that these traditions were implemented smoothly at the wedding. Our wedding also has a lot of logistical complexity as it was in a loft with a raw space that required a room flip between cocktail hour, ceremony, and dinner - all went smoothly and efficiently. I cannot recommend Cristina enough!!!! I am so thankful for finding her and working with her - we had such a fabulous wedding day due to her hard work and coordination!

Cristina is an amazing wedding coordinator! Herself and her team were a pleasure to work with and her attention to detail made our special day run smoothly. Planning a wedding can be very stressful but it was very comforting knowing that we could leave the logistics and coordinating in Cristina’s hands to help make our day perfect! 10/10 highly would recommend to coordinate your wedding!

If you want a perfect day (and planning process) hire Carismas Design!
Cristina Gomez and her team are absolutely fantastic! We were nervous about the process, and Cristina walked us through it each step of the way with kindness and support, day or night. Her expertise and professionalism is unmatched. We truly couldn't have gotten the vendors (or deals) we did that lead to our perfect day without her. Couldn't recommend Carismas Design enough!

Absolutely the best for a stress-free wedding! 💖
Cristina was amazing to work with, from start to finish. In each of our calls for the month-of coordination, she was extremely organized, helped us stay on track with planning, and knew what questions to ask to make sure our vision was brought to life. Our vendors were impressed with the clear timeline she put together, which kept everyone on the same page and helped us get the most out of our time. And on the day of the wedding, she knocked it out of the park. She made sure the venue looked amazing, kept everything running smoothly the whole night, and made sure we were treated like royalty. I felt so relaxed and stress-free having her there. My family members all kept gushing about how helpful and great she was too! Thank you for everything, Cristina!!

I cannot say enough great things about Cristina and her team. From our first call 6 weeks before my wedding all the way to the day of the wedding, she was so helpful and organized. I truly cannot recommend her enough and wouldn’t have gotten through the planning process or day without her!

Absolutely incredible
Cristina was an absolute gem to work with- I hired her as our month of coordinator (and day of coordinator). She took the time to connect with me weekly, for easily an hour at a time, liaised with vendors, and brought up minutiae that was so important but that I wouldn’t have known myself. She’s the sweetest person, and it’s abundantly clear how much she cares about her brides and her commitment to excellence. I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much, Cristina!

The dream team you want in your corner
Cristina and Samm were god-sent. I really can't name a better duo. The owners of my wedding venue went out of their way to tell me how impressed and blown away they were with Carismas Designs, and I couldn't agree anymore. I hired them about 3 or 4 months before my wedding, and I just wish I had found them sooner. Cristina is the person you want in your corner when you're wedding planning- she looks over budgets, payments, designs, advocates for you, and helps you make thoughtful decisions while carefully managing countless vendors. She also stayed after the wedding to ensure all the rentals were returned and we weren't charged anything extra. Before the wedding, Cristina spent multiple late nights with me on the phone working on planning details and is so incredibly flexible with her scheduling. Samm is undeniably kind yet sharp and thoughtful when it comes to producing detail-oriented excel sheets, analyzing prices, and solving problems in no time. But more importantly, on the day of the wedding, Samm and Cristina felt like friends who were really there to help you. They thought of absolutely everything, showed up when I needed them, and made the entire day run so smoothly. I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with them, and I know that I will be reaching out for future events.

I cannot recommend Cristina and Carismas Designs enough!! I worked with both Samm and Cristina and the two worked together seamlessly. Cristina was there on my wedding day and made sure everything was on schedule. We actually ran AHEAD of schedule, which was a relief to have extra time. She truly made my wedding dreams come to life. I let her take creative liberties with decorating and she did not disappoint. Everyone commented how elegant & classic everything was, which was my entire vision.

I actually didn’t hire Christina and Sam but they stepped in when my coordinator got Covid! I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without them! They were running around all day long and I felt no stress what so ever. If your on the fence a day of coordinator is soo worth the money! Christina and Sam are an amazing duo and even my husband said glad we had coordinators! You ladies are amazing! 💜

Cristina was so helpful and so adaptable to change when we had to deal with changes relating to COVID and ultimately postpone our wedding to a later date. She was very organized and responsive.

Best wedding coordinator there is
Cristina was the best decision I made in all of my wedding planning. She helped me with every detail and made my big day flow effortlessly. In every each phone call that we had, she helped me narrow down decisions and come up with even better options that I hadn't considered. She also pays attention to every detail and makes you feel heard and appreciated. Her timeline for the day was perfectly executed down to the minute so no second was wasted. If you are looking for someone to help you make sense of the chaotic day ahead, look no further because she is truly the best!

Wedding Planner
Cristina was my wedding planner and day-of coordinator for my November 2021 wedding. It's not an exaggeration to say that hiring Cristina was the best decision I could have made while wedding planning. She guided me through every step of the process, including creating vendor searches for each category and helping me maintain a budget. Her industry knowledge and contacts were invaluable. Our wedding was more amazing than I could have ever hoped for. Everything ran exactly according to the plan Cristina and I put together and was so beautiful. I'm truly so grateful to have worked with Cristina, I would recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner!

After the long planning process, it felt like a breath of fresh air to have Cristina come in to support the final details and ensure the wedding day would be perfect. Day-of, everything ran so smoothly and we had such peace of mind knowing that Cristina was onsite with the lists we put together to make sure nothing was missed (while still allowing us and our closest loved ones to enjoy the day too).

Amazing!!!
Cristina was a pleasure to work with! She is super detail oriented and thought of things I had forgotten about. I was on the line about hiring an event coordinator but I am SOO happy I had Cristina. My wedding was worry free and I just enjoyed the day while she handled all the logistics and made sure every moment went seamlessly. Our bouquets (that I thought were assembled) came unassembled and Cristina made bouquets for all of us last minute and they looked beautiful. If you need a coordinator for your event definitely use Carismas Design LLC.

Super Satisfied!
We hired Cristina for our wedding for October 2021. Cristina helped us make a plan for all of the small details and we never had to worry if something had been forgotten. I trusted her professional opinion 100% and all of my family and guests raved about her attentiveness on the day of our wedding. It was truly amazing to sit back and relax and enjoy our wedding knowing that Cristina was handling the timeline and all of the details!

This woman is a godsend
What to say about Cristina? I think my title explains precisely how I feel about her. She is the most professional, positive person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I hired her basically at my best friend's wedding which she also coordinated beautifully. Cristina helped me plan out every 15 minutes of my wedding day (trust me I had zero idea I actually had to do that until I spoke to her). She helped me organize all my items, transported things to my venue(s) for the ceremony and the reception. She coordinated final timelines to all my other vendors and provided us with individual timelines so they/we all worked seamlessly throughout the day. However, the biggest thing of all was that when my transport company for my bridal party cancelled on me 3 days before my wedding, she found a couple options for replacements within 2 hours. Cristina was available to me whenever I had questions and I really couldn't imagine our day going as perfectly as it did without her. I will insist everyone in my family on hiring her for their wedding days. She will now become our wedding/event coordinator for life!

Amazing!!!
Cristina and Vicky were phenomenal. I worked with Cristina the month leading up to my wedding and from our first call I knew I was in good hands. She's extremely organized and quickly takes control of the tasks at hand. On the day of, she brought Vicky and I don't know how I could have ever gotten through the day without them. They took a divide and conquer approach, which helped tackle logistics and decorating, all while sticking to the timeline and making sure my ceremony began on time and without a hitch. They were both a pleasure to work with and a calming presence. Vicky even helped my 7-month pregnant self change into sneakers!
I cannot recommend their services enough!

Cristina is a godsend
We met Cristina by chance and are SO LUCKY we did. I would have lost my mind without her. She was incredible to work with. Not only did she plan our wedding twice (due to COVID), she took the time to really understand our style and approach to the event then executed better than we could have hoped. She was able to find amazing vendors at great rates and was incredibly helpful and calming throughout the process. I can't recommend her enough.

You must hire this wedding coordinator!
If you need expert assistance and a calm professional to support your own planned wedding Cristina is the one for you. We wanted to be heavily involved in the planning and execution of our event but at the same time knew that we were 1) amateurs at this and 2) we would not be able to both get married and run a wedding. Cristina came in as our wedding coordinator and pulled our ragged thoughts into a professional workplan and timeline. She thought of everything in advance. And come the day of the wedding she worked tirelessly and calmly to make sure that every moving part was executed without a hitch. Dealing with vendors, working with the caterer, managing the moving parts of the event space, arranging the flowers, organizing the guests, and most importantly being the go to person for everything wedding that day. Amazing. You couldn't find a better wedding coordinator. You need to hire this person.

Life saver!
literally do not know what we would’ve done without her. She turned what was a sluggish mess into a beautiful day. She was on top of everything. Most importantly she was our biggest advocate. She fought vendors and the venue for us during the whole covid postponement. She really knows what she’s doing and I can’t thank her enough. HIRE HER!!!

Can't imagine my wedding without Carisma Design, LLC.
We hired Cristina and Carisma Design for month of wedding coordination and it was the best decision we could have made! Cristina was instrumental in making the event run seamlessly and successfully by working with vendors to ensure accuracy and timelines. She also was a huge help with guiding the logistical aspects that we didn't even consider! During the wedding day, her and her assistant Jenny were amazing!!! They made sure our guests were comfortable and went above and beyond to smooth over any hiccups. We were completely stress free the whole night thanks to their efforts. I am so happy that we found Carisma Design to make our wedding perfect!!! Thank you Cristina!

You can imagine how stressed it was planning a wedding during a pandemic. My (now Husband) and I were both on the front lines during the pandemic which added even more stress to planning a wedding. Cristina was there EVERY step of the way and had every answer for my 100 questions I asked her. Her team is AMAZING!!! I would hire her again 1,000 times over.

Cristina is the best!
Let me start by saying Cristina is truly the best. If you’re planning a wedding or will be planning a wedding in the future, YOU NEED HER. She is seriously a miracle worker.
I have been mentally planning my wedding since I was probably about 19 years old (I’m 33 now so this has been going on for a while). I would read wedding planning books for fun. So when it came time to plan my wedding for real I was READY! Then covid happened. Luckily I had already chosen all my vendors, but it was about 4 months before my wedding when I started feeling overwhelmed. After a year and a half of planning, plus 1 pandemic, wedding planning fatigue had set in and I was just over it. I reached out to my officiant (who is also amazing, Ceremonies my Lauren, if you’re wondering) and she recommended Cristina as a Month of Coordinator.
Like most people, I thought, “I don’t need a wedding planner/coordinator.” I cannot stress this enough, Cristina is so much more than that. Cristina is so kind and understanding. She makes everyone feel calm because she’s got everything under control. She created the entire wedding timeline, communicated with all my vendors to make sure everyone was on time, knew what they were doing and where they were going. On the day of she was my human alarm clock so that I never had to think about where I had to be and when. That feeling is absolutely priceless. I actually got to enjoy every second of my wedding day because I literally had nothing to worry about. I could just live in the moment and have fun.
Because of covid I had trouble getting access to my ideal photo location. For months I had been emailing my contact at the photo venue, and 5 months before the wedding they completely stopped responding. Cristina went above and beyond, reaching out to anyone who had an email or phone number posted on the venue’s website. (I’m pretty sure she might have called someone’s mom.) Just when I had given up hope she found a board member who was able to grant me access to the property. Remember when I said she was a miracle worker? Yeah.
I had a completely stress free wedding day and I owe that all to Cristina. She is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough.

The BEST thing to happen during a pandemic
I work in healthcare and my now Husband works in the National Guard. Needless to say, wedding planning during the pandemic while both being on the front lines was extremely stressful. The guidance from Cristina during the pandemic wedding planning was the best thing that happened to us during that stressful time. I like to tell Cristina she was my therapist and knew exactly what to say and what I needed to hear during the planning process. Talking to her felt like it was going to be okay and it was! Our wedding day was the BEST day of our lives. I will be forever grateful for her and helping us have the best wedding. She goes above and beyond, is so detail orientated and thinks of every option for literally every situation. I would hire her again and again one thousand times over!

You Need Cristina!!
Cristina was our Coordinator for my daughter's wedding 9/26/20. I can't imagine not having her to guide us. We had a Barn wedding (actually because of COVID had it outside the barn) so we had to do everything ourselves. She was AMAZING! Handled the vendors and all documentation we needed, created a timeline for hair, makeup, and photographer so it all went perfectly smooth, calmed me down when I called her stressed about weather, offered suggestions/ideas that we never thought of. Very professional and organized and was ALWAYS very responsive when I had a question or needed advice. Excellent communication!! Didn't worry about a thing on the wedding day! So my daughter & I were able to enjoy the day. I can't say enough about our experiences with her.

Very Professional and Accommodating! Love Cristina!
I had an incredible experience with Cristina at Carismas. My wedding would not have been as success as it was without her especially during these COVID times. She really took alot of stress off of me and my family and we are so grateful for her services. She has an eye for detail and really put my needs first. I would highly recommend Cristina to every bride.

The Wedding Planner Everyone Needs!
I hired Cristina at Carismas Design in April 2019, knowing that I would need some help planning my August 2020 wedding. From my initial meeting with Cristina, I knew that she was the planner I needed! Her energy and responsiveness are amazing! When the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency began to impact our wedding, we had so many questions. Cristina answered all of my questions and eased my concerns immediately.
She helped to plan my micro-wedding at a completely new venue, hired vendors, and created a perfect timeline - all within three weeks! Having Cristina by my side at every step of the way was everything that I could ask for. I appreciate her attention to detail, charisma, and knowledge of the industry. I would 100% recommend Carismas Design to any couple looking for full, day of, or month-of coordination.

Best thing we did...
...was hire Cristina! To summarize me, I was a pretty organized bride with a 12 tabbed Google Sheets document. I kinda plan for my career, so planning a wedding was not all that bad. However, I knew the few months leading up to the wedding that things would get crazy and wasn’t sure I could do it all. Hence my search for a day of coordinator began and lead me to Cristina. She is the most organized, patient, flexible accommodating person ever. She managed coordinating between my many vendors with ease and only contacted me and my now husband when necessary. She was thoughtful and brought details and questions to my attention That I would have never, ever thought of. I highly recommend Cristina and her team to anyone planning a wedding. It will be the best thing you decide to do. Seriously!

Our special day made even more special
On 9/19/19 Cristina made our special day even more special! As the newly married couple we had nothing to worry about during the actual day but party. The day was better than we could have imagined with her help. The process before leading up to the day was seamless. Cristina was firm but understanding and also made us feel as comfortable as possible. We love Cristina and wish she did other events so we can have her for those events too. Everyone who had an interaction felt comfortable and just loved her. If you are looking for a wedding planner look no further than Cristina, she literally made our dreams come true. Hopefully she can have the same affect for you that she had for us.

Guidance I needed
I booked Cristina only a few months before my wedding because I was lost in my planning. She stepped in got my wedding on track & gave me the guidance I needed to have the unique & amazing wedding that people will be talking about for years to come. She was unable to be there the actually day of my wedding but her coordinators Victoria & Sylvia were both there. They were very attentive & made sure the day went as smoothly as possible. I am forever grateful

Hiring Carismas Design was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. Cristina was so attentive, supportive and organized, I absolutely enjoyed working with her and her team. I hired Carismas for day-of planning and the only thing I would've done differently is to hire her to help plan my entire wedding. Well worth the cost and such a pleasure to have around for my wedding day.

Working with Carismas not only helped make the process of planning my wedding so much less stress on me, but the day of our wedding was so well managed. She took care of all the vendors, I was able to sit back and enjoy my wedding. Her plans and designs came out so beautiful— I was just really happy with everything. Her team was great as well, they helped decorate and break down afterwards. Thanks to Cristina and her team who helped make my wedding fun and relaxing!!

Best coordinator EVER!!!
Where do I begin...Cristina is a one woman powerhouse. She is unbelievably organized and so meticulous with every detail that on the day of our wedding three days ago, my only job was to get ready for the wedding. The rest, she took care of. From the set-up of our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception details to giving the groom and his groomsmen guidance on what they should do ahead of the first look for photos to making everything come together before we walked down the aisle, everything went so seamlessly and our wedding was perfect.
Cristina, thank you SO MUCH for all of your hard work. Without you there, we know we couldn't have made the wedding as easy for Peter, me, and the rest of the wedding party!!!!!!!!!!

It was such a pleasure working with Christina and her staff!!
Christina and her staff were key to my daughter’s perfect wedding day. During the planning, day of the wedding, and even afterwards, Christina and staff went above and beyond to ensure that my daughter had a perfect day with absolutely nothing to worry about. Christina and staff can handle any curve that is thrown at them and they handle everything with expertise and professionalism.
We are so thankful to have had them during the planning process and cannot even imagine doing it without them.
Thank you so much Christina and staff for making my daughter’s wedding at Tendenza everything she ever dreamed of!!

Cristina was my partner in crime
Cristina was there for me from the moment we met. While I had all the major things booked, she was instrumental in helping me keep my sanity. She was the voice of reason and someone that I felt genuinely cared about me. She offered tons of advice and was a wealth of resource. I never felt like I was working with a planner - it actually felt like I had a MOH on steroids who had tons of experience! Cristina allowed me to enjoy the weeks leading to my wedding and always knew the right thing to say. My only regret was not meeting her sooner. If you are able to snag her for your wedding, you are one lucky bride.

Don't Make Plans Without Carismas Party Planning
Most people believe they can plan a wedding on their own but the reality is my husband and I could not have planned our wedding without Cristina. She is so knowledgeable and has many connections in the wedding industry. We hired her shortly after getting engaged and she continues to work with us now even after our wedding day. Leading up to the wedding Cristina walked us through venue tours, price negotiations, contract readings, engagement photo shoots, invitation designs, timeline details, music selections, and more. The day of the wedding Cristina ensured that everything went smoothly despite the unexpected bumps in the road. On my end, my makeup artist did not show up and Cristina called another makeup artist who came within 20 minutes and did an amazing job on me and the bridal party. On my husbands end, he left his entire suit at home but was able to go to a shop to purchase another one. Cristina managed to keep my husbands mishap from me and mine from him, she also kept us calm and helped us to have an amazing wedding day. We highly recommend Cristina, she is the best in her field!

Wedding Planning Savior
Wedding planning savior! That’s what Cristina has been. My fiancé and I live very busy non traditional lives. I am in health care and work nights. He is in the military and has been overseas for the majority of our planning. With our schedules, and very opinionated families, we were looking for someone to help lessen wedding planning stress.
From the start Cristina has helped us with establishing a budget, meeting with vendors, negotiating contracts, designing save the dates, to solving unexpected issues. My fiancé and I had an unexpected life event that changed his availability for our engagement shoot. When our photographers were unavailable during his short, unexpected home visit, we were bummed. I was stressed. Cristina didn’t flinch. She used her resources and scheduled us another amazing photographer for our engagement shoot. Not only is Cristina knowledgeable, she also has a warming personality that every bride needs. In the end, you want to like the people you are working with and you’ll love her. I even referred her to my good friend who is also getting married next year.

Amazing planner!
Carismas was recommended to us by a friend, and we were in no way let down! We needed help planning a two day Cambodian-American wedding from out of town and would not have been able to do it without Cristina. We got everything we wanted and our wedding turned our more beautiful than we could have hoped for. Planning a NJ and PA wedding from Florida was stressful, especially considering that I work night shift. Cristina was so easy to work with and met with us several times in person and we we're in almost constant contact by email and phone-she was really great about accommodating our unique needs as clients. Her honesty and integrity throughout the process are the qualities that stood out the most to us which is why we have been recommending her as a planner to so many of our friends. It's hard to find service professionals these days who are genuinely working with your best interest in mind, especially when you're paying them to make you happy. She was extremely attentive to detail and made thoughtful suggestions that helped us achieve the overall end product that we wanted. If something we liked wasn't practical, or not feasible, she was honest with us, but never dismissive, and helped us to find a better option. Cristina worked very hard to make sure we got everything we wanted when it was all said and done, and we couldn't be happier! Our weddings we're quality inside and out, and our guests raved about how much fun they had. Carismas is an amazing value, and a necessary investment, in my opinion, if you want a seamless event. Book them before someone else does!!!

She helped turn an unusual ceremony location into our dream wedding!
Cristina gets the job done! I knew I needed a day of coordinator when I booked Cristina 3-4 months before our wedding, but I didn't know how fundamental she would end up being. We were having a ceremony on the roof top of our apartment building in Brooklyn before a reception at a local brewery in the neighborhood. Without Cristina, we simply would not have been able to pull off having a ceremony in such an unusual location. She helped up navigate getting 75 chairs up six flights of stairs, made sure everything was ready at the ceremony venue and the reception venue, set up champagne for the guests to toast as we finished watching the sunset from the roof, and made sure we were all on schedule throughout the day. To top it off, her husband Jeremy came and helped her out so that we wouldn't have to pay an extra day of chair rentals. While the guests were arriving, Jeremy even helped two of our older relatives with mobility issues walk up the six flights of stairs. He was so kind and patient and we are so grateful that he made our relatives truly feel at ease in our unusual wedding venue.
My husband and I are so grateful to both Cristina and Jeremy, they gave us our dream wedding! THANK YOU!!!!!

Cristina was absolutely awesome to work with. I completely trusted her to execute the plans I had for my wedding day, and she did not disappoint. She went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. I highly recommend going with Carimas, Cristina and her team made my dream wedding possible.

We booked Cristina about a year before our wedding for Month-of / Day-of coordinating, and she was the best decision we made for our day! Later on in the planning process, we hired her for our rehearsal dinner which helped our wedding party get organized (highly recommended!!). After we initially met, I had several questions throughout the planning process which she promptly answered in a professional manner. We even used the cake vendor that she recommended which turned out great! Once we were about 6 weeks out, Cristina emailed me to get the ball rolling. From there, she met with us for a venue walk-through, drew up floor plans, suggested table placement, gave us checklists, organized all of the work we had already done, spoke with everyone that we hired, and created a wonderful timeline which the rest of our vendors loved. In those 6 weeks (and even prior) she was always quick to respond to all of my crazy questions, and I always appreciated her input. Another awesome decision with Cristina was hiring 2 bartenders through her; our guests thought the service was speedy and efficient. Cristina made our day care-free for us and even helped us break down at the end of the night. She fielded any and all issues and really contributed to making our day so special.

I'll just start off by saying hiring Cristina as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our ENTIRE wedding. Period. To start off, we hired Cristina to help plan our wedding and also to be there day of as our coordinator. This was especially difficult task as my (now) husband and I are both active military so I was living in Texas, he in Georgia, and Cristina was helping us plan a wedding in NJ! She was perfection; every recommendation she made, every decision she made, every suggestion was on point, I could not be happier with everything she did. She is extremely timely in responding to us, keeping us on track with our wedding planning, keeping us within budget, and very honest in all her recommendations. My recommendation? Hire her and say yes to all her recommendations. She understood my fiance and I's personalities and made our dream wedding come true. Day of the wedding, she made sure everything went off without a hitch, all we had to do was enjoy the day (which we did) and Cristina ran the show tirelessly behind the scenes. We had the best day of our entire lives all thanks to Cristina's work. Thank you Cristina for being utterly amazing and helping us create the best memories evers:)

I never thought I needed a day of coordinator. I am a planner by nature (and profession) and totally thought I could handle everything on my own. As we got closer to the day of the wedding, I realized that to truly be able to disconnect and enjoy my day, I needed some help. Hiring Cristina was probably the best decision I ever made (aside from marrying my husband!). She was SO organized, was able to work through the carefully organized spreadsheets that I gave to her, and was able to effortlessly navigate through the many personalities of my family/bridal party, all the while keeping the wishes of my husband and I a priority. She kept us to a schedule (which was NOT an easy feat with a bridal party of 19 plus parents), and made sure that we were happy the entire time. She even made sure we got any meals boxed up at the end of the night for guests that no-showed (it DOES happen!). I would have never thought to ask for that, but since we had already paid for them, we were able to take them home and enjoy them later! Cristina made the entire experience so wonderful, from our first phone call to our last hug of the evening. Even my dad had to give her a hug, because of how much stress she took off of me that day. I would hire her a million times over - her company may be small now, but I was lucky enough to hop on her bandwagon before she blows up, and she most definitely will!!!

Hiring Carismas for my Wedding Coordinating was definitely the best way to go! She made the entire process easy and smooth including the actually day of the Wedding. As a busy career oriented young couple, planning a Wedding was an overwhelming thought. Cristina made every decision super easy by doing her research based on our needs and requests and presenting us with just a few options to pick from. She stayed within the budget and made our special day such an 'easy' memory!

Cristina of Carisma's Party Planning was great to work with from the first phone call. I hired her as a day-of coordinator, but her services which I paid for at a very reasonable price came with phone calls and assistance up to a month before the actual date of the event!
She has a GREAT attitude-- she listens to your concerns and notes every little detail and does not miss anything. She is also good at offering up her suggestions based on past experience, and this perspective is very helpful when wedding planning! With Cristina, I never felt like I was in the wrong hands, and always felt more reassured that the day would turn out as planned after each conversation with her. Also, if you ever have a question, she answers immediately-- and that is not an understatement. She replies within seconds of my texts/emails/calls!
On the actual day of the wedding, Cristina navigated the day perfectly. As a DIY bride who did not hire a decorator/designer, some things did not get done on my end and I did not even really have the time to flesh out a detailed to do list for Cristina, which I had meant to do. Nevertheless, the morning of the wedding we briefed her duties before I slipped into my dress, and she made it all happen. ( Of course, I would not recommend that you stretch her thin and push her to these limits--learn from my mistakes! Give yourself plenty of time to do everything!) When we got back from the church to the reception site, I was very happy to see that everything was in place and looked just as I had imagined in my head. Thank you, Cristina, for helping keep my stress levels down and doing the background work so I could focus on celebrating the moment with my new husband, family and friends! I am a very detail oriented person, and Cristina hit all the marks! I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone planning a wedding! Jesmin & Brian

My husband and I decided we needed a day-of coordinator less than two weeks out from our wedding, and I'm so glad Cristina of Carismas Party Planning was available. She jumped right in, quickly learned all about our plans and vendors, and did a beautiful job setting up all our decor. Thanks to Cristina, our wedding day was virtually stress-free and everything went even better than we expected. Cristina is creative, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about wedding planning/coordinating!

Cristina was so helpful throughout the whole process. Always answered emails and texts immediately and always had helpful responses. She reached out and confirmed everything with all vendors the month before the wedding and created a timeline for vendors for the day of the wedding. I hired a lot of vendors and she was able to organize and handle them all. In addition, I had a lot of additional decor that I wanted set up for the wedding and she put it all together just like I wanted. My florist was late the day of the wedding and she reached out to them and smoothed everything out, with out any problems. We also had a large bridal party with many different personalities and she was able to handle the group without a problem and kept things organized and under control. Definitely worth every penny and more! She made the day run smoothly and made my day perfect and stress free!

Our experience with Carismas Party Planning was simply out of this world. Cristina is such a sweet person to work, not only she is so easy to work with but she is an extremely knowledgeable individual that she will make your event planning a breeze. She was great with her coordination with the Venue, catering team, DJ, Photobooth, and decorators. Our event was executed exactly the way we discussed and imagined.
We are very happy with the service we received from Carismas Party Planning and we will be recommending her to all our friends and family.

Cristina was probably the best thing that happened to us! I initially hired her to help us with one pre-wedding event, however after working with her for a few weeks, I realized how great she was and hired her for my wedding as well. She is truly amazing! She is creative, an out-of-the-box thinker and can problem-solve on her feet! She was extremely helpful when it came to choosing vendors (her DJs and photographers are the best!!) and was so so patient with all my bride-zilla questions!
Not only that, she has a keen eye for aesthetics and her attention to detail was absolutely astounding. She has tons of experience with weddings and thought of all the little details that a first-time bride like myself would never consider. She can work within any budget, has amazingly unique and creative ideas and is super organized. She is also very responsive and easy to reach. Planning a wedding is stressful however having her on board was re-assuring. I never felt like I was alone and could always depend on her to calm me down, give me the right advice, help me pick this from that, and solve any other wedding-crises that came my way. I don't know how she manages to be so awesome and be a full time mom at the same time. Her husband Jeremy is also super sweet, supportive and very helpful. You can't go wrong with this power duo! I couldn't have pulled off my amazing wedding without her.
If I can, I would love for her to help me plan all my future major life events!

My fiancé and I hired Cristina to help with wedding planning and day of coordination and we couldn't be happier! She was such a treat to work with! She was so funny and kept things light during a time where things can get to be pretty tense. She was extremely professional, always on time and was willing to work with our hectic schedules! She truly made everything so much more enjoyable, I was able to focus more on my guests while she took care of the rest. I cannot thank her enough. I felt so comfortable with her, she went above and beyond to make sure my wedding day was absolute perfection. If you are looking into getting a wedding planner don't look any further Cristina is your girl! She will make sure your day is just as you imagined it.

It's about time Cristina and her team joined wedding wire. She did a fabulous job with coordinating my wedding. Every detail that my husband and I found important to us, Cristina and her team made sure it happened. We loved our wedding decors and the venue Cristina found was amazing. I couldn't believe how easy she made planning our wedding really was. The entire process was stress free and genuinely a good time. Thank you so much for everything!
