    A TRUE wedding planning pro!

    Christine reached out to The Pines Catering in helping her clients plan a destination wedding in Colorado. From the start, she was beyond kind, fun, sincere and timely. Her expertise is beyond the majority of planners I work with locally in Colorado. We kept joking the entire planning "if only she lived here" so we could work together all the time.
    She has all the platforms for a seamless event...great programs for vendors and clients alike. Her focus on the details is incredible. And the day of the wedding...a home run. She was on it, for every task that day and pampered the couple extensively. I wish I could work with her more and must say you will be missing out if you do not hire her. Such a gem, thank you - Christine for all you do in this industry.

    I cannot say enough great things!

    Deciding to hire Christine to plan my wedding was the best decision I made during the whole process! I was on the fence about using a wedding planner originally, thinking that my type A personality would be enough to handle everything, but once I talked to Christine, I knew I needed her for my big day!

    Her energy and passion for her couples and what she does is infectious! It is so obvious that she loves what she does and loves the couples that she is working with. After every meeting with her I was bouncing off the walls with excitement because everything was coming together so perfectly.

    She also connected us to the most incredible team of vendors! She listened to what our vision for the big day was and recommended several vendors for each category that she was confident would fit with our vibe, and they 100% did! She handled coordinating all the vendors with the venue seamlessly, making everything smooth sailing on our wedding day.

    On the big day, she was the most calming presence, making sure all the trains were running on time, while also making sure we had time to stop and appreciate all the details and enjoy every moment. She truly went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us! At the end of the night, my husband and I were so sad when we realized our time working with Christine was coming to an end. She was the most delightful presence to have with us during such a special time in our lives.

    If I can sum it up, with Christine by your side, wedding planning will be a breeze! About 8 weeks before the wedding I was convinced I was dropping the ball on something because people kept asking me how I was handling all the stress of wedding planning, but I wasn’t feeling stressed at all. When told Christine I was worried I was missing something because I wasn’t feeling stressed, she laughed, assured me that everything was on track, and said, “you shouldn’t be stressed, you have me!” She is the best of the best!

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    Christine is the BEST. I met her years ago when she was the wedding planner for one of my best friend's wedding, so I knew she was exactly who we wanted. She did not disappoint. She is so professional, helpful and knowledgable about everything. I had lots of ideas for what I wanted our day to look like, and she helped make all of that happen. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and get to know our families, so everything she did and suggested were tailored to fit us perfectly. She helped make our day feel like US and stay true to what we love and who we are as a couple. She met with us from the beginning so really helped make sure we had a consistent theme throughout the whole wedding.

    For the day of the wedding, she was amazing. Literally, the best thing. My dad says it's the "best money ever spent" because she handled everything- she made sure we were where we needed to be on time and made sure everything went smoothly. I am sure some things didn't go the way it was supposed to, but I would have never known- and still don't know- to this day because she handled it all.

    One little story as an example: Our priest at the ceremony forgot to have us walk to the middle of the alter at the end of the mass for our first kiss, so we were out of shot for the photographer. Christine signaled to me as we were leaving to stop and kiss, knowing we didn't get the shot. We stopped in the middle of the isle and got the most amazing picture! It is honestly one of my favorite pictures from the day. It was little things like that Christine did that really enhanced our day and made it everything we dreamed!

    Best planning experience ever

    Once my husband and I got engaged I called Christine the following day cause I knew I had to have her as my planner.
    She made the entire wedding planning process easy, organized and offered the best ideas always inside of our budget. Christine constantly eased my mind- whenever I thought something was stressful or going to be a problem she immediately would calm my nerves and take care of things. I would never plan any event or wedding without Christine.
    Also major bonus she is literally the kindest person EVER & the sweetest soul!!!!!!

    Wonderful, Beautiful, Stress Free

    She is the best in the industry. She will make your day perfect and the process leading up to it easy. She understands the vision you want and will make it happen no matter what. She made my day amazing and I couldn't ask for anything more. She is wonderful, sweet and caring. I miss working with her on a daily bases.

    For the father of the bride,,,,

    To all Fathers of the Bride: Hiring Christine was be best decision we made for our daughter's wedding. She made the process look easy. She was the experienced professional we needed to get through the enormous amount of work involved in the proper sequence. Her presence made it easy for my wife and daughter to relax and enjoy the day! And she has a real gift to keeping the father of the bride in just the right frame of mind!

    Christine is the best planner in KC!

    As many of the reviews state - Christine is the best in the business! She planned my sister's wedding, my best friend's wedding, and my wedding. She is professional, positive, detail-oriented, and handles conflict like no other. I really felt her value shines during the month leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding! You and your family will not have to worry about anything the day of the wedding - Christine will take care of it all. From keeping everything on schedule to all vendor communication, I only had to focus on enjoying our wedding day. The only hiccup we had - I was a little panicky when we ran out of time during family photos before the ceremony but Christine calmed my nerves and made sure right after the ceremony we had gotten every single photo listed on my family photo spreadsheet. Everything else went as smooth as could be. Thank you Christine for making our wedding day run smoothly and the wedding planning process fun! It was truly the best day ever and we have you to thank!

    Put Our Mind At Ease

    Weddings are a very joyous time but can also be a very stressful event. Christine truly is the best wedding planner around. She is so organized and put our minds at ease throughout the entire process. We planned our wedding in 8 months and we couldn't have done it without her. Her attention to detail, professionalism with all of our vendors, explaining the process, everything was the best of the best. I would recommend her to anyone. Christine, thank you for making our day so special and helping our day be a memory that will last a lifetime.

    Taking your vision to the next level

    I knew after watching my Mom at my wedding 25 years ago that I needed a wedding planner so I could relax and enjoy my daughter's wedding day.
    I knew Christine was the one to help us when she understood that as well.
    Taking a wedding to the next level is what I would say is Christine's talent. She took my daughter's vision and then suggested so many little details to make it happen. She wanted it to be my daughter and her fiance's day and when people attended they would see them in the details. She definitely made that happen by introducing us to amazing vendors and her expertise.
    Christine is a genuinely wonderful person. She is punctual, professional and a great resource and sounding board when you are in the thick of planning.
    I highly recommend Christine and her team if you want a planner that wants the best for you and will work so hard to make it the best celebration. Thank you Christine!

    Wedding Planner

    I’m truly sad writing this because it means not only is the most amazing day ever over, but I will no longer have meetings with Christine. Christine truly brought our day to a new level and made it flawless. She is always so happy and willing to help. I wasn’t living in KC so she literally made everything happen; and her timelines were so helpful to keep the details in order and on time. I always felt like she was our biggest supporter and would fight for us and what we wanted for our day. I literally have nothing to complain about. She made it all happen and people are still coming up to us and our families telling us how great the day was. I could go on and on but really all anyone needs to know is that they will be truly lucky to have her on their team!

    Nothing but WONDERFUL---best investment made

    I don't think I could ever, in a million years, say enough great things about Celebrations of Love and the huge role their team played in our big day! We hired Christine about 2 months into our wedding planning and from day 1 she was involved in every aspect and consistently going above and beyond her job description.
    Being that my fiancé and I had selected a lot of the major vendors already, Christine helped us refine the vision for our day. In our first meeting she got straight to work by developing our timeline and soon after she already had a floor plan created for us. From there things just fell into place very organically and our vision began to come together more and more.
    Leading up to the big day Christine was communicating with all of our vendors to make sure they knew where to be and when. She also attended many if not all of our final meetings to be sure everything would be perfectly in place.
    Finally, on the big day (and at the Rehearsal) I didn't have a single worry in the world. Naturally there were questions that came up from the wedding party or family and I would immediately direct them to Christine because she had all the answers. I didn't have to stress or think really! I just soaked in the day and enjoyed every second.
    Christine and her whole team are truly wonderful to work with and I have said over and over that they were the most important piece in making our Wedding the wonderful day that it was.
    At this point it probably goes without saying but I would HIGHLY recommend Celebrations of Love for all Wedding and Event coordination needs. 

    I should have written this review literally two months ago, but I honestly could not think of the right words to describe Christine. She is AMAZING! Not only does she think of absolutely everything, she can also do everything. Christine made sure our wedding ran smoothly, safety pinned my dress when my husband ripped it, and literally everything in between. My mom found Christine through a family friend, and I was confident I could plan a wedding on my own. Even though I still think I could have, Christine made the process so much easier from beginning to end. We wouldn't have wanted to do it without her. My biggest piece of wedding advise I have shared with friends is to hire a wedding planner, because it is 100% worth it.

    I had the pleasure of working with Christine on a wedding in September and it was amazing! She was extremely professional, organized and everything ran as smooth as can be. Her level of service were exactly what we believe in at our venue which made her very easy to work with. She is on top of everything down to the last details. She knows exactly what the couple wants and checks in on them throughout the entire evening to make sure they are nothing but happy. The relationships she creates with her vendor partners is equally incredible. Everyone is on the same page and no one feels neglected on any communication needed. I hope to work with Christine again in the future!!

    Wow, wow, wow. Christine was and is absolutely phenomenal. My husband and I found her for partial coordination of our April wedding. I cannot recommend her enough; she is organized, kind, friendly, professional, and very graceful. I was on the fence about hiring a partial coordinator, but with our work schedules and time commitments, we decided to reach out to Christine for help. I am so glad we did and she was/is worth it. She was available quickly by email and phone for any questions, worked with all my vendors flawlessly, and had the time line nailed down with the small details answered before the second meeting. She was a great source for finding fantastic vendors I was stuck with and for sourcing that extra detail for decor. During the day of the wedding, my husband, our family, and I were stress free and able to simply enjoy the day as Christine had things under control and was prepared! She was actively involved in offering bobby pins, getting coffee for my mom, steaming dresses, and answering a thousand questions, all with a smile on her face! I didn't even know until after the wedding that she patiently worked with the tuxedo rental shop to get all the tuxedos to our ceremony when they were not all ready the day of. We recieved a ton of compliments on Christine, and I'm glad we were able to have her as our coordinator!

    Christine and her staff were simply amazing. My daughter was the main one that worked with her and she was so satisfied with every step. Christine knows what she is doing and is so organized, the organization is just passed on the bride. We have been to other weddings Christine has handled, including our son, so when our daughter got engaged we had Christine on speed dial. And what makes it even better is that she and her staff are so pleasant and easy to work with. After the reception was over, mary daughter said ‘it was the best day of her life’ and we have Christine to thank for that.

    This review is from a Father of the Bride.
    We had about a year to get the planning done for my Daughter’s wedding. I thought this was plenty of time, and when we were thinking of a wedding planner, I was unsure the extra expense was necessary.
    Then Christine was hired and took over. Wow, what a wonderful difference she made. She obviously knew her craft and helped us get vendors, transportation, and multiple arrangements I would have never thought of.
    Christine was great, with super communication skills and helped us plan everything to the smallest detail. She had precise plans and schedules that guided us all the way through the wedding day.
    Boy were my initial thoughts wrong. I am so glad and fortunate that we connected with Christine to guide us, educate us, and made this event everything a proud dad would hope for.
    Thank you Christine for all your efforts, advice, innovations and recommendations that culminated in a wonderful day. Thank you for your poise, caring and cheerfulness that led to an ultra-successful wedding day.

    Christine from Celebrations of Love was a very important asset to our wedding planning process. From the first time I met her I felt confident she would help us make my daughter’s wedding day the best day ever! She is extremely organized and presented us with a customized budget worksheet from the beginning. A notebook kept us up to date at each meeting. I was provided with numerous catering ideas to choose from along with florists and DJ’s, hotels, transportation shuttles, wedding dress and bridesmaid boutiques to check out, invitations designers, rehearsal dinner venues, dessert caterers, ceremony music and musicians, etc. The list goes on and on. My daughter and I would have been lost without her assistance. Christine is always calm even when disaster strikes. One of the ring bearers misplaced his custom suspenders for six hours prior to the wedding and she quickly had one sewn up to match the other ring bearer before the missing suspenders were found! Unbelievable! Nothing appears to be a problem with Christine at your side. She is extremely organized, professional, kind, and takes the edge off of nerves the day of the wedding. We knew exactly where we were supposed to be the entire day. She had a timetable of when shuttles picked up guests, when photographs would be taken, what time to be at the chapel, what time toast would occur, just every detail was notated. We totally enjoyed the wedding experience due to her diligent and professional work. Well worth the money! Would hire Celebrations of Love again in an instant! Christine covered all bases from start to finish! She is amazing!!!

    Christine-where oh where to begin! Well, I suppose, we should say that you should begin with her and end with her! Let this lovely lady walk you through your entire journey! We were so blessed to have her with us each decision and step of the way. Christine thinks of anything and everything that you haven't--she looks at the big wedding day from your perspective and your guests', making sure that everyone is well cared for and enjoying every bit of the day!

    Most of all, she makes your dreams come to life, sometimes with a great deal of extra hard behind-the-scenes work! Our day, our flow, our timeline, our theme--was a true masterpiece. We were happy to have a friend in the wedding business as we embarked upon planning something that we knew very little about! Christine is well-loved and respected by her peers in the industry-we would meet with our vendors and when we told them we were working with Christine..."Oh my goodness, I love Christine-she's so on top things!" "Christine is such a sweetheart!" "Christine works magic!"and you know that if your chosen vendors have nice things to say about her--you are in good company and will have a reliable and trustworthy team behind you!

    Don't hesitate to get someone on your team who is dedicated to making your dreams come true, that you stay on point and on schedule, and make you feel so relaxed by the morning of. We, as a couple, didn't ever catch wind and to this day, still haven't heard of anything that went wrong on our special day, and that's the way it should be. Christine always stays one step ahead and that is what we love most about her! She thinks ahead and cares for you before you even know you need it! (a.k.a being shuttled through a surprise tunnel of sparklers, into a shiny black sedan stocked with pizza and Wedding cake waiting for us to be whisked away for the night!)

    Thank you for making our day a reality and a happy occasion, Christine! We'll cherish our work with you and memories forever!

    Christine was our wedding angel and superhero rolled into one! Her finesse, attention to detail, approachability, and ability to predict our needs was fantastic! Not only did she allow us and our immediate family to be carefree to enjoy our wedding weekend, but she saved the day in so many ways: she arranged communication, set up and tear down between all vendors and we did nothing but pay the bills, my veil blew off a building during our first look and got stuck in a tree and she magically found another, she erased lip stick from a flower girl’s dress, she found seating for extra guests and ones forgotten on seating chart and she somehow anticipated that 91 year old grandma wouldn’t be able to step up on to the bus and had called a town car. Christine was just amazing! She was also so very genuine and pleasant to have around! Our family unanimously decided that she needed to join the family by the end of the weekend! Our only regret was that we didn’t find Christine the day after we got engaged! Don’t wait! Hire her ASAP and your wedding planning process and execution will be SO much more fun!

    Wow Wow Wow is all I can say. Christine was the absolute best. As the mother of the bride, I was truly a guest at the wedding, and I would do it all over again as the day was just perfect.

    That was the highest compliment that I could give Christine and Logan. They coordinated with all of our vendors, set up all of our special touches and ensure that the bridal party and immediate family had the current timeline.

    A true professional in every way, plus just such a joy to work with on one of the most special days for a family celebration.

    Thank you Celebrations of Love. You truly made the day so memorable and special for all.

    Christine was phenomenal! She did an amazing job with our wedding. She made the day as care free as possible for the bride, groom, wedding party and family. She was incredibly professional and I would highly recommend her!!

    I first met Christine through one of her “Coffee Dates with Christine”. I have been in a few weddings through the years, but my first struggle came in knowing where to start with my own wedding. Christine and I talked for the whole hour and I really felt like she genuinely wanted my wedding to be perfect, whether I decided to work with her or not and that really stuck with me. After a few weeks of taking a deep dive into wedding planning, I decided that as organized as I might be I wanted to hire a planner. Without a pause, I sent Christine and email. Every step of the way she was responsive, friendly, organized beyond belief and always professional. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with for my wedding.
    When it came to the day of our wedding, Christine (and Logan!) where at the top of their game. I decided to go the bridesmaid dress rental route because many girls were all around the country. One of the girls got sent the wrong color dress (each girl received two), so we had to use one of the alternate dresses from another bridesmaid, but it was a bit low cut. Christine didn’t panic and came up with a genius idea to make another dress work (and not show any cleavage) and make all of my girls feel beautiful the whole day.
    Overall, I can’t recommend Christine enough as a wedding planner. She goes above and beyond on her responsibilities and I have received so many compliments from the wedding party and people who attended our wedding and saw her and Logan doing their thing and making the best day a reality for my husband and me.

    Where to even begin with how wonderful Christine is! As a bride who had a specific vision of what I wanted for my wedding I didn't think there was a need for a wedding planner. However, my mom talked me in to meeting with Christine to help us with small details and the day of events. Within minutes of meeting Christine I knew we had to hire her! Her organization and attention to detail are incredible! We planned a wedding with lots of details and several different vendors and Christine handled it with ease and grace. Each time my mom and I met with her I left with my mind at ease because she had each aspect covered. Even my fiance who is the most laid back and no worry person was over impressed with Christine and all that she did. The first time he met her he said to me " I am so glad your parents hired her". Christine allowed me to relax and enjoy my entire engagement process and have the best night of my life at my wedding. All of my friends, family and bridesmaids kept telling me how I was such a relaxed bride and that is because Christine handled everything on my wedding day so I was able to have fun! The entire planning process and wedding night went PERFECT! The entire honeymoon, my husband and I could not stop talking about how every detail of the night was flawless and that was in large, thanks to Christine. Not only does Christine get the job done, she does it with a huge smile and a warm hug every time you see her. Her genuine love & passion for what she does is what puts her work above and beyond!

    Christine made our lives so much easier from the first meeting until the day of the wedding. She has a wealth of knowledge/experience and handles everything with ease. Coming from the groom's perspective, I highly recommend her services to help plan your future wedding.

    I had the pleasure of having Christine as my wedding planner this past January. She is literally worth her weight in GOLD! Every little detail gets taken care of--even things you didn't realize needed to be! I felt so at ease with her and was able to fully relax and enjoy my day because I had no doubts that everything we had planned was going to fall into place. Whether it was providing a safety pin or realizing my dress had gotten stuck in my shoe during our reception entrance--she literally is a pro. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her assistant :)

    Christine is spectacular!!! We are so lucky we got to meet with her and have her plan our special day. We knew right away that our wedding day was in good hands after we talked with Christine the first time. What we really appreciated about her, was that she took the time to get to know us and incorporate that into the planning process. She focused on making our wedding day both unique and special for us and it was the most amazing day of our lives. We feel like we also gained a friend. She is such a sweet person and truly enjoys her work- you can tell she is very passionate about what she does! During the planning, we moved out of state, and this was no obstacle for her to continue to connect with us and make sure that everything would be the way we wanted. She was very organized and detail oriented. We felt that she understood our vision and did everything she could to make our day everything we hoped it would be.. Her assistant Logan was also very friendly and helpful, and did a great job understanding our needs leading up to the big day. Together, they made sure our day went smoothly and we had nothing to worry about. We HIGHLY recommend Christine, there is NO one like her :)

    Christine makes the wedding experience the most magical thing ever! We had a long planning process and her passion and excitement for our day continued to grow with ours! She has an amazing relationship with so many vendors of all price ranges across the Kansas City area. We felt that we had an incredible amount of options with vendors to help make our dreams become a reality. Christine has experience that can assist anyone, an immense passion for weddings/love/celebrations, ideas that can help special details shine on the big day, and AMAZING ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS! She had our day organized down to the minute. All vendors were informed, prepared, and everything was flawless. She had a timeline prepared for the entire wedding party and families involved that were as detailed as they needed to be for each individual person. Christine really made the day/night so perfect and like everything we imagined. But, beyond the perfection of the times, vendors, organization, execution, and such of those details. She is so incredibly invested in each wedding that she participates in. She cares so much that we felt like we were working with a great friend that was just as excited about our love, marriage, and wedding day as we were. This feeling began from the day we met her and continued even past our wedding day. Our wedding day was truly the most perfect day/night and we owe so much of that perfection to Christine. I cannot imagine going through this process without Christine's assistance. I FULLY recommend Christine as well as Celebrations of Love to anyone wanting their wedding day to be the best day of your life and to be the most unbelievable planning experience possible!

    There is a reason that all of the reviews for Christine include words like "flawless," "stress-free," and "amazing." I was living in North Carolina, my fiancé was living in Ohio, and our wedding was in my hometown of Kansas City. Christine was completely unfazed by the logistical challenge that this posed and made our wedding absolutely perfect. Christine is incredibly professional, timely, attentive, and ready for any hiccup that can occur. Whether it was last minute adjustments to a flower crown or reattaching a tuxedo button during photos, she came prepared for anything and everything and never stopped smiling. What I found most impressive about her is her extraordinary tact and her ability to handle all types of family members and guests. She is utterly unflappable in the face of emotional family members, lost luggage, and the general insanity of a wedding day and handles things in a firm, but gracious manner. She is also very creative and is not afraid to try new things. For example, my husband and I started dating in Italy, so we wanted to do a unique catering setup with food stations that allowed for a traditional multi-course Italian meal for 180 guests in a short amount of time. Christine found the perfect caterer (who was probably more excited than we were to try this setup), and the result was stunning! Our wedding went off without a hitch, and it is no exaggeration to say that we couldn't have done it without Celebrations of Love!

    Christine was fantastic! My husband was skeptical about hiring a wedding planner. When he met Christine that all changed. With my daughter living in California and myself living in Kansas, Christine was a huge help to us. She handled everything flawlessly so that I was able to enjoy the wedding and reception knowing that everything was under control. I would highly recommend her!

    Choosing to have a partial wedding planner the day of my wedding was the best decision I ever made….Choosing Christine as that wedding planner was the best choice I ever made!!! From the first time I called her to the day after my wedding, Christine was right on top of everything!!! If you’re looking for stress free wedding for your parents, your bridal party and especially the bride & Groom, then Christine is your girl!!! From the minute I met her I knew she would have everything under control and not a thing would go wrong….Even my vendors told me they loved working with such an organized and sweet wedding planner! Without Christine, I don’t know what would have happen….but I do, because I had Christine, my day was absolutely perfect!!! In the end, I not only hired the best wedding planner in KC, but I made a wonderful friend!!!

    Securing Christine as our planner was absolutely the best decision my daughter and I made! From our very first meeting, Christine took the guess work and stress out of the planning process and guided us through every decision that needed to be made. She is incredibly organized and professional, yet is very warm and genuinely cares about helping you create your dream wedding, down to the finest detail. Christine is very calming and intuitive and she graciously eases tensions when differences arise. As a result of her experience and stellar reputation in the industry, she helped us select the perfect vendors and coordinated their efforts throughout the year of planning and until the last lights were turned off at the reception. She works tirelessly and cheerfully so you don't have to worry about anything, which meant we could enjoy all the weekend wedding events without worry. Family and guests said the wedding was "magical" and much credit for that goes to Christine. Christine is nothing short of amazing!

    If you want your Best Day Ever to be Amazing and Flawless, then you must hire Christine Darden/Saxer!!!!! The day I got engaged I called to hire Christine immediately! I have had other good friends and family members use her and they just love her! Every time we had our meetings she was very professional and always ready to go with an updated timeline on what needed to get done next! The Day of the Wedding you couldnt ask for a better woman to get the job done right! It was so stress free, she takes care of anything and everything! She always thinks of the little things, it rained on my wedding day and the next day she gave me a bedazzled rain jar with my wedding rain in it! Only Christine would think of that! You are silly not to hire her as your wedding planner!
    We love Christine! Allison & Luke

    There are no words to describe how much my husband and I love Christine. She made our wedding day everything I had imagined, only way better. She was prepared for ANY situation - seriously - any situation, and made me feel like everything went just as planned. I've told everyone I know how amazing she is - and how she is worth every penny we spent to have her. She makes you feel like your wedding is the best she has ever done and that you are the most important person in the world. If I had to choose the best decision we made over the 5 months we were engaged, Christine would be it. Book her now!!!

    As the mother of the bride, I was stressing until I met Christine. She has a very calming effect and her organizational skills are out of this world! I had been through my son's wedding where I was sweating trying to get everyone ready before the ceremony. I promised I would not make that mistake again for my daughter's wedding. When we met Christine the first time, she was so sweet and took every detail we mentioned to heart. She truly cares about her clients and wants the best for them. From the planning period to the clean-up the day after the wedding, Christine was there making life easier for everyone. Not only will she make sure the event goes flawlessly, she did so many special touches that I will forever be thankful for. From making an extra boutonniere on the spot to taking special care of my daughter - Christine went way above and beyond and I couldn't be more thankful for her!

    Look no further! Whether you want her to plan a wedding or any party - Christine is the one you want! When I got engaged my mom wanted to get a wedding planner for help the day of considering she isn't from the Kansas City area. She wanted to relax and actually be able to enjoy the day. From the moment we met Christine we knew we wanted her to help us! She is so calm, sweet, and ORGANZIED! We got the partial plan and did so because of budget. Christine has very reasonable prices, but my budget for the wedding wasn't very large so I wanted to make sure to spread it out where it was absolutely necessary. I promise to you, no matter your budget, Christine will be worth every penny! She went way above and beyond our expectations. During the planning Christine was there every step of the way, she kept everyone calm and very organized. She will also be very attentive to what the bride wants, while still being pleasant and professional. When the wedding day came, everything went perfect - or at least that's all I know- which is how it should be for the bride. During the reception I had a little cousin that didn't catch the bouquet and she was so upset. I tried to console her, but nothing would work. Then out of nowhere, here comes Christine with the most beautiful little bouquet of flowers for the little girl. The way her face lit up was priceless!! My best advice - get Christine! Not only will she make sure your day or party goes absolutely perfect, she will also find ways to make the event even more memorable. She's the best in the Kansas City area.

    Wow! If I did my wedding all over, I would rehire Christine in a heartbeat! From the moment we met Christine, she put me at ease. She is so sweet and very detailed oriented. We starting planning the timeline of the day months in advance and the best thing about it all was everything flowed so well the day of. Christine is very organized and had all the vendors in order for the day; once we got them booked I handed everything over to her. She was great about following up on outstanding questions and any needs we had. If anything went wrong on my wedding day, I had no idea, and that's the way it should be if you're the bride!

    One Word-Amazing!

    Christine was so professional & amazing to work with. She helped me plan my wedding 6 ish months out when I had hardly anything done! She kept me organized, reminded me of things I needed to, and coordinated ALL OF MY VENDORS--that is priceless! not having to worry if the caterer showed up, or if the DJ has your recessional is such a relief! She worked great with my photographer, my venue, and the wedding party. I can't begin to say enough good things about her. She even takes inventory of all of your wedding items, sets them up at the venue, and then returns them to your house! I didn't have to worry about anything. It made our day that much more special :) If you're the couple that thinks you can skip the wedding planner -DON'T! Get Christine, she's worth every single penny (and then some). Seriously, we loved her! One of the best there is!

    Christine is absolutely amazing!! She made every wedding planning meeting special, time efficient, and was knowledgable about anything and everything. Christine was kind, professional, and put my entire family at ease on the wedding day/rehearsal. I do not know what we would've done without her!! She truly made the day and planning extra special. I can't wait to use her expertise for future celebrations!

    Hiring Christine to be my daughter's wedding coordinator was the best decision we made. Her attention to detail, work ethic and creative talent gave me the confidence to trust her with any wedding task. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. We were able to completely enjoy the rehearsal and wedding day! I feel she went above and beyond and provided us with outstanding service! I will be requesting her services again in the future!

    Christine is worth every single penny. I'm telling you, hiring her was the best decision I made during the wedding-planning process. She goes above and beyond for her clients... and you can tell, she really loves what she does and truly cares about her couples. We hired her on a recommendation from a friend, so she was the first vendor we hired. We hired her for a package that is focused more on the month before the wedding, but she was with us every step of the way, willing to read contracts and give advice when needed. But the true test of her skills was in the weeks leading up to the wedding. I'm known among my friends to be very organized, and Christine was with me on everything! She thought of things that I never would have thought of - and solved problems I didn't even know existed! My dad accidentally broke a glass (got too animated while giving his speech!) and she quietly and gracefully swept it up. She made sure that a special edible cake garnish got tucked away with our cake topper for us to enjoy on our one-year anniversary. She gave spot-on recommendations for vendors. She made last-minute labels for a family photo table the night before the wedding. She wrote up a detailed timeline for our day-of, but I never felt rushed. She gave our officiant the info he needed to get licensed. She gave advice on the wording of some non-traditional parts of our ceremony. My husband and I both ended up leaving a few things at the venue by accident at the end of the night, and she got them back to us the next day. I kept my last name, and she noticed the photographers taking a photo centered around my husband's last initial and she helped them find a more meaningful photo opportunity. She doesn't just create a wedding in a style that she likes, but really helps you bring your style to life, fitting in the things that are important to you.She's also incredibly fun, spunky and genuinely sweet to work with, so you'll also enjoy spending time with her. Thank you, Christine

    Christine was one of the first wedding professionals that reached out to us when we were developing our venue and she has been an angel to work with. Her years of experience, her excellent work ethic, her overall knowledge of how a wedding is supposed to look, work and most importantly, FEEL is outstanding. Working with her is completely trouble free.

    Phone calls and emails are returned promptly and efficiently, she is never late to an appointment and she has everything she needs to get the job done. From the initial planning meeting, to the coordination of the caterers and vendors, to the "day of" decorating to the managing of the event in progress, she will take all of the burden from you so you and your family and friends can enjoy your big day.

    We look forward to working with Christine and can tell you from personal experience, she will make your day amazing and memorable.

    Where do we begin?...Christine is one in a million. She is friendly, organized, personable, directive, has impeccable taste and best of all, has a heart of gold. She really cares about her clients and serving them so that they can shine, be anxiety free and fully experience their special day. Christine does her best to disappear, so that the event and the couple are the stars...but its hard not to notice her work. Humble service in the wedding/event planning industry is so rare these days, people take notice. Our event was special, not just for the work Christine did, but the incredible gift she gave us and the amazing people and vendors she attracted to put on a very unique ceremony and reception. My wife and I and our friends are still talking about our day. Like all one day ceremonies, our vow renewal could have easily have been a blur...a fleeting memory that could be difficult to reflect on. But Christine made sure we could be fully present on our day and created unique memories that leave lasting impressions long after the flowers have wilted, the dress and suit has been put away and the guests have gone home. This was a special day for us and Christine made that happen. She exceeded our wildest dreams. She is truly gifted and called to do this.

    From my very first meeting with Christine, I knew she was the person I wanted to plan my wedding. Her attention to detail, her passion for her job, her love for love, and her patience and positivity all made the planning process for me, that much easier. My wedding day was beyond what I could have ever dreamed of and I owe a lot of that to her.

    When I first started working with Christine, I was beyond overwhelmed with all of the tasks that needed to get done. She gave me a time line of everything that I needed to complete and when I needed to complete them, which helped me out tremendously. After booking vendors, she took it over from there and was the middle man through out the whole process. Tasks that needed to be handled, or issues that came up were handled before I even caught wind of them, which took away a lot of stress. She stayed on top of things that were my responsibility, and answered thousands and thousands of questions with constant enthusiasm. Through out the entire process I felt as if Christine cared as though she was planning her own wedding, she wanted everything to be perfect for me.

    I thought that the final few weeks leading up to the wedding would be the most stressful, but Christine made even the process of making the seating chart fun! On the day of, we had two small incidents through out the getting ready process, but she handled them within minutes. She completely took charge of the entire day, made sure everything ran smoothly and handled my bridal party of 16 people with kindness and patience, which I know every one appreciated.

    I could go on and on about how amazing Christine is at her job. I would highly recommend her to any one getting ready to plan a wedding. I couldn't imagine going through this process with out her, and I am truly grateful to her for making our day the best day ever!!!!

    Christine comes at the absolute highest recommendation. We cannot begin to express how amazing, organized and diligent she is. You may not think you need wedding planning services, but this is the one thing we tell everyone to budget for. Christine will bring peace and calm to both you and your family on your special day by having every single detailed planned and accounted for, which cannot be overstated. She goes above and beyond for her clients and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Christine was an amazing part of our wedding day! She was so willing to help make our day exactly as we hoped, and was creative in finding good options for us in aspects that we had not thought of. She did so much behind the scenes, such as contact our other vendors and set up a weekend timeline that helped make the wedding day go so smoothly. She is so kind, but also assertive with the vendors, making sure they know exactly what the bride and groom expects. We would absolutely recommend Christine!

    I turned to Christine at mid way through planning my wedding, hoping there was a slim chance we would be available for my date. Amazingly she was and helped guide me and my husband to the wedding of our dreams. She is understanding, thoughtful, creative and supportive - everything any bride (or husband or family of the bride!) could ask for. She helped me through a stressful situation and ensured that everything had a simple solution. Christine even took the time to travel to my hometown outside of Kansas City for several meetings since I was busy planning our wedding out of state and I was only home a few times prior to the big day. I cannot recommend Celebrations of Love KC enough, working with Christine gave me the piece of mind that my wedding would be everything I dreamed it would be from the moment I first spoke with her and to the moment my husband and I were driving off as husband and wife. Thank you, Christine!

    I am a very “Type A” person. Knowing I only had four months to plan our wedding, I decided I would either have to do it all myself, or find a wedding planner I could trust to do a very thorough job. When I met Christine, I knew she was the perfect fit! Christine’s expertise was extremely valuable, especially since we had such a short engagement. She helped us tackle the many details of wedding planning, while minimizing our stress level. Not only does Christine provide exceptional, detailed planning, but she is also a delightful person to work with! From the moment we met her, Christine has consistently been encouraging, friendly, and responsive. Her dedication to her clients is what sets her apart from other wedding planners. It’s easy to see how much Christine loves her job, and it is definitely reflected in her work. I can’t tell you how many of our vendors raved about Christine—they love her and really enjoy working with her, too! Christine went out of her way to help with any and every aspect of our wedding—from communicating with vendors, to picking up sandwiches on the morning of our wedding, to taking thorough inventory of our personal belongings and transporting them to/from the reception venue, to offering countless tips and answering our hundreds of questions…she truly made our wedding day beautiful and memorable. As my husband (the accountant) says, “Christine is the best investment we ever made.” I couldn’t agree more. She is very much a treasured part of our wedding story. We are so grateful Christine helped us plan such a special, wonderful day.

    As mother of the bride I was a little nervous yet excited about how to plan and navigate the wedding waters.I wanted my daughter to hire a wedding planner but that sounded like such a luxury.What could a wedding planner do that I couldn’t?When my daughter came in and excitedly announced that she had hired Christine "on the spot" at their first meeting I was a little worried, but mostly curious.I wondered, "what will she REALLY do?"Looking back, the question really is "what didn't she do?"Her connections and communication with terrific vendors saved us valuable time and money.She kept all of our vendors "in the loop" and on task.During our meeting at our reception venue,Christine asked questions that I would not have thought to ask.She was assertive yet respectful-thorough and prepared with her questions.At the rehearsal Christine had printed a timeline of the Wedding Day and passed it out to everyone present.No one was left to wonder about the flow of the day.On the day of the wedding she even picked up sandwiches that I had ordered for the bridesmaids (thanks to her direction) and took them to my neighbor's house since I didn't have fridge space.She also showed up with steamer in hand that morning and very unassumingly found a corner and began to steam each bridesmaid's dress!Talk about detail.After the reception, she gathered all our "stuff" and delivered it to our house.When I look back and see how seamlessly the day ran, it was all Christine.Christine's enthusiasm for her job makes you feel like "we must be her only bride".When I found out she had many Brides besides us, I was surprised.Her memory of the details of our family and wedding were amazing.Christine's organizational skills and attention to details gave me a sense of peace and the ability to fully enjoy this once in a lifetime opportunity as MOB.

    We've all seen it... 5 stars and nothing but the best comments for many of the Kansas City wedding planners. There are good ones and great ones but in another special category beyond great, there is Christine Darden. Long story short...If you're like me (and most other brides out there) and you want the most unforgettable wedding ever Christine is the planner/friend you need. Not convinced? Read on. My husband and I were engaged for a year and a half and had lot of the detailed planned before we hired Christine 6 months out, but we were worried about all of the "day of" details. Christine goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect just the way YOU want it and has tons of great advice to make your day go extra smooth. Our favorite thing about Christine was how she made us feel like our wedding was the only one she was planning (even though she had a handful of weddings before ours, including her own big day.) She's AMAZING. On wedding day my husband stepped on my dress and the bustle came undone as we were leaving the ceremony. I began to panic and Christine showed up at pictures following the ceremony (and yes she had a million other things to do) and she pinned my dress. She will literally do everything in her power to make sure your day is your dream day. We are so sad that wedding day has passed but we get to smile fondly about the day, rave about how wonderful she is, recommend her to bride's to be like yourself and call her our friend.

    Christine is absolutely the best. She went above and beyond to make our day stress free and was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend her to any and all brides. She is truly customer focused and gains a complete understanding of her client’s vision and expectations and executes everything to perfection. Thanks to Christine my day was WONDERFUL!

    Christine was instrumental in the planning and execution of a large social event we hosted for our pharmaceutical clients during an industry tradeshow in Washington D.C. Based in St. Louis, I was unfamiliar with possible venues and vendors and was overwhelmed by the endless options available in D.C. Christine researched a variety of venues and found the perfect space for our event. She also identified vendors for photography and catering and coordinated all of the many moving parts. The event was entirely flawless and our clients showered us with compliments on the fun, memorable event she organized.

    Christine was detail-oriented, quick to answer any questions, and incredibly knowledgeable of the event planning industry. She even traveled to D.C. to oversee the event and the venue walk-through to ensure everything went seamlessly. I have nothing but positive things to stay about my experience with Celebrations of Love!

    As the father of the bride I can say with 100% confidence that Christine was the best investment we made. She provides ideas and calm during a very hectic and memorable time. Her attention to detail and ability to keep all vendors and wedding participants on track is amazing. If there was a way to rate her ten stars I would. All fathers of brides should use her services. You'll thank me for the recommendation.

    Look no further, Christine is simply amazing! I honestly didn't think I needed a planner, as both my daughter and I are impeccably organized. However, it was my husband who was insistent upon seeking out the help of a planner to allow us to enjoy the day and the process. And was he ever right. As he says, it was the best investment we made! Christine offers a very unique combination of characteristics. She is extremely professional, always on her game, has wisdom beyond her years, but as my daughter quickly noticed, she acts like your wedding is the only one she is working on. She was attentive to every detail, and responded immediately to every request we made, She has a wonderfully pleasant demeanor, yet commands respect of the other vendors. She kept everyone on task, and did it an incredibly calm manner. After the wedding I received countless compliments on the elegant yet fun event we had, and it was all a result of Christine's ability to deliver on her promise. My daughter and I will really miss her!

    Without a doubt, I recommend Christine Saxer & Celebrations of Love, as she is an absolute professional who truly has a passion for her craft of wedding planning ... and it shows through on every detail. After having a tough time trying to find a wedding planner who (1) would return my calls, (2) show interest in the size of my event (I had a wedding for 75 people) and (3) put customer service as the #1 priority, I had received a recommendation to reach out to Christine. From the first time we met to discuss details, I knew that I was in the best hands. Mind you, Christine had 65 days to help me with all details and aspects of my wedding, and she never flinched. And then with 33 days left to the wedding, I had to change venues. Again, she was cool, calm and collected and made me feel like I shouldn't have a care in the world (and it worked!). Every vendor that she recommended to me were five-star professionals, which you don't often see. And the telling thing about each was how highly they spoke of her, and her love of planning. Again, you don't often see that. Christine's responsiveness is spot-on (remember how I said I had to change venues? My email to her that night came around midnight ... about 2 minutes later I received a response that said, 'we've got this ... don't worry!'). My wedding was just perfect ... from getting ready, to the ceremony and through the reception. She truly did a remarkable job of orchestrating every detail. She is flexible, creative, professional, has copious amounts of patience and has a fantastic sense of humor. She's the real deal!

    Christine was accommodating, prompt, upbeat and fun to work with. She made the last few months of wedding planning enjoyable. She was capable and easy to work with.
    I will call Christine if I ever need help with an event in the Kansas City area again. She is superb at making things come together.

    As a groom, the expectations really aren't set too high for the involvement in planning a wedding. Since my responsibilities were fairly easy to take care of (i.e. honeymoon, transportation, showing up), I just assumed the other wedding details would be the same. I thought a wedding planner/coordinator would not be necessary. I couldn't have been more wrong. Our day would not have been what it was without Christine's involvement and she bore the brunt of those wedding stresses that everyone dreads in the back of their mind. Because of that, not only could we fully enjoy the day, but our family could as well. Although she was technically a day of coordinator, Christine was much more than that. She met with us several times throughout the planning process and was in constant communication, not only with us, but all of the vendors. She is very professional, detailed, organized, and proactive. More importantly, she is a great person who genuinely cares about your wedding and we trusted her completely to have everything in order and handle any situation. Her services are definitely worth every penny, and you can't put a price tag on the peace of mind for you and your family, knowing all will be handled on the wedding day, night, and day after. I highly recommend Christine of Celebrations of Love.

    I highly recommend Christine as a wedding planner/ coordinator! She has a gift of relating to all kinds of people and personalities. She is friendly, fun, responsible, dependable, confident - simply awesome! Our daughter and her fiancé had a large bridal party. Christine kept everyone on time- where to be and when. She communicates well. She listened to the hopes and vision of the bride and groom, and also gave wise advice when needed. Christine truly loves what she does. She has been involved with many weddings. With her experience, she remains calm, and, works with great care and enthusiasm to make their wedding day the most joyful, special day of their lives. She is amazing!

    Christine is a wonderful help when it comes to event planning. She helped me plan a huge wedding that had many details to consider. Along with the typical wedding neccesities, Christine was able to plan for about 80 people arriving from out of town and planned for transportation for all of them from their hotel to the venues and back home to the hotel. There was a lot of time and communication between Christine and my family to make sure our day was perfect. Christine was always flexible and available whenever we needed her. Christine knows many of the venders in the Kansas City area and they all know her and her work style and ethic. Christine is able to communicate to venders for you and she is talented in bargaining and talking down prices for you. She is very good at making sure you get everything the way you want it.

    On top of planning a wedding for me she also helped my mom plan an 80th birthday party. Like I said before, Christine is available for you! And she is very personable and fun. Christine loves what she does and I passionate about wedding planning. She is worth every penny, people! Book her!

    Christine was very helpful at every step of the wedding. We couldn't have done it without her, from motivating us throughout the year to bustling up the dress the day of, to making sure our timeline was exact and loading up the cars when it was over. She did it all! If we ever had any questions she had an answer. Always kind and smiling! We HIGHLY recommend Celebrations of Love to plan your event!

    I wish I could give Christine more then 5 stars, she was amazing, so capable and kind. Her ability to roll with the punches and handle anything and everything I threw at her, no matter how last minute or crazy my requests, Christine handled it without even a pause. I would, and will, recommend her to every bride I know. I truly could not have gotten married without her, mostly because I probably would have lost my mind. Celebrations of Love is wedding planning done the right way.

    I wish there were more stars to give to Christine at Celebrations of Love! We began our wedding as a huge outdoor event and several months in, after she had lined up almost every vendor, we changed our minds and decided to do a destination wedding in Las Vegas. She never missed a beat. She was top notch in all areas and we truly feel like our event wouldn't have been half as wonderful without her holding our hands the entire way!

    If you are wanting a completely stress-free wedding, where you know every single detail will be taken care of, then choose Christine Saxer for your big day. I decided 4-months prior to my wedding that I needed an event planner and it was honestly the best decision that I made throughout my whole wedding process. She ensured me that she would oversee everything that I was stressing out about during my last 4 months of planning. I was able to stop losing sleep at night worrying about day-of timelines or final meetings with my countless vendors because I knew Christine would take care of it all - and she did and MORE. Throughout the whole wedding day, everyone told me constantly what an asset Christine is/was. She prevented and fixed many a small disaster on my wedding day - e.g. a big stain on my train that Christine fixed with her handy dandy day-of survival kit, groomsmen/groom running late to the church, forgetting the marriage license, etc... I can't imagine the best day of my life without Christine getting us from point A to point Z. Not only will she be your wedding guru, but she will also become a friend!

    Christine is absolutely amazing at her job! Everytime there was an issue with the venue or church, Christine was their to advocate for the bride and groom. Christine was great at directing the rehearsal at the church, and kept us all on task with much patience. Everyone's nerves were on edge, and Christine mediated with poise and grace. Christine was with the bridal party on the day of the wedding from the beginning of the day at 7 am, until the clean-up at the reception after midnight. She came prepared with all of the little things that may have been needed for an emergency (safety pins, hair spray, needle and thread) - you name it. I am so grateful that she was with us to keep things moving and keep us all calm. She is young, but has the composure of someone who has done this job for many years. If you want a true professional to help with your event, Christine is the one to call.

    Christine is an event genius. I was warned that my wedding day would be incredibly stressful. Thanks to Christine my husband and I were completely relaxed and enjoyed every moment. She thinks of EVERY little detail, she is reliable, organized and maticulous. She was always one step ahead and thanks to her we had a stress free and enjoyable wedding!

    Christine was all the things you want in a wedding planner. Patient and calm but quick to act/resolve issues. She treated my family so well and put up with all of our over the top relatives. It was a huge event, over 250 people, and everything the day of was smooth and I kmow this is because I had her help. My in laws and husband were not on board when I first hired her but now everyone agrees it was the best decision. I know my mom and I appreciated Christine so much. With her services we got to enjoy the day without stress.

    I always get concerned when someone receives a perfect score but Christine deserves it! She was amazing. Between Christine, my fiancée and her mother every single thing was covered. No matter what, there will be issues on your wedding day. However, I think the mark of a good wedding planner is making sure that the Bride and Groom have no idea about any of those issues. Our day was perfect thanks to Christine. Her hard work, meticulous planning and improvisational ability allowed her to fix any issues and insure that my fiancée and I enjoyed our day.

    My husband and I decided to hire a wedding planner as a wedding gift to our daughter and future son-in-law. We let them decide on which person to hire. We were delighted with their choice - Christine Saxer, Celebrations of Love. Christine was a valuable resource throughout the entire process. Always available to answer questions or offer suggestions and/or recommendations when we inquired. Many of the vendors we chose were recommended by Christine. We were very happy with all of her recommendations! I also appreciated the special attention Christine paid to our daughter, Cara - keeping Cara calm and relaxed throughout the whole process, beginning to end. There were many "favorite Christine moments" but the one I will never forget is after the ceremony when everything was packed in the cars and on the party bus. The only thing left to do was to bustle Cara's dress and be on our way. Standing there in the church, Cara mentioned to Christine that it felt like her hair was falling down. Christine asked her if she needed a bobby pin and Cara answered, "Yes." Remember, everything is packed at this point. Christine reaches into her hair and pulls out her own bobby pin and gives it to Cara. Honestly, I truly believe that if there was anything we needed and Christine had it, she would have given it to us! Even though Christine was a gift to Cara and Chaz, I truly believe that Christine was a gift to the entire wedding party. We all depended on her at some point. We think that we gave our daughter and son-in-law the best wedding gift ever - Christine and peace of mind!

    Christine was absolutely wonderful! My fiancé and I weren't sure how useful a wedding planner would be when we first started our planning process (I tend to be a control freak and want to plan everything myself). Boy, was she worth every penny though! If we ever had ANY difficulty with a vendor, she would immediately rectify the situation. We even had difficulty with the post office at one point sending all our invitations through the machine when they should have been handled by hand (some of my rhinestones got ripped off the invitations in the process). I figured no way would the post office fix the situation or even care for that matter. Well Christine took care of it and got all of our money back AND THEN SOME in free stamps. Needless to say, she was amazing on the big day too. We had several things that didn't go as planned initially, but we never found out about it until after the wedding. The alcohol vendor had planned too little and Christine left during the reception to personally pick up more. I think the mark of a great wedding planner is when you have someone that makes you feel like your day went absolutely perfectly even though there were a few bumps along the road. Thanks again Christine!!

    I never thought I'd need a wedding planner...but after working with Christine, I know I could never have done it without her. She was BEYOND amazing to work with...incrediblty organized and creative prior to our big day. And so very calming and helpful the hours prior. And she ran the show beautifully the day of. I really don't know what I would've done without her...and I can't say enough great things about her!

    Even if you don't think you need a planner...trust me, you need Christine!!!

    Christine was an amazing individual to work with. She was in constant communication with my bride and I. She had great communication with our other vendors as well. She really helped keep the day smooth and allowed us to have a wonderful wedding day. Her time was more flexible than I could ever imagine. She even helped with things that didn't pertain to just the wedding day (I.e. rehearsal dinner, showers and other parties). She is a dream to work with and my bride and myself would highly recommend her to anyone looking to ease the tension that a big event could manifest.

    We hired Christine as a Day of Wedding coordinator for my daughter’s wedding, but she went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from her. She's incredibly prompt, organized, creative, knowledgeable, and best of all, just a joy to work with.

    The day of the wedding, Christine took care of absolutely everything and kept checking in on us to make sure that we were relaxed and didn't need anything. She came up with a schedule for the day for both the vendors and the bridal party. We never had to worry about people not knowing where they were supposed to be and when. Some of our other vendors heard that we were working with Christine and they raved about how amazing she is.

    Christine helped us carry out my daughter’s vision for her wedding day and everything was absolutely perfect. Many of our guests made comments about how smoothly the ceremony and reception went and I know I have her to thank for that.

    Needless to say, we were extremely happy with our decision to hire Christine. I highly recommend her to any bride who wants to enjoy their wedding day. I cannot imagine what my daughter’s day would have been like without her.

    Well organized, young, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. My daughter loved working with her because they could relate on the same level and loved a lot of the same things. Had plenty of meetings and was willing and able to do anything you asked of her.

    Christine is so much more than a wedding event planner. My mom and I knew from the start that we wanted to have someone with us that day that could keep us on schedule as well as take care of things that we could not foresee happening. Christine did all of this and so much more. She made sure the entire day went seamlessly. From bringing food to all of us the morning at the Salon, to putting reception decorations in her car and bringing them to us the next morning. She was simply amazing, and obviously dedicated to her craft. You would do well to have her be your event planner. It was one of the smartest things I could have done. I had nothing to stress about the whole day because I knew that Christine would handle it. Hire Celebrations of Love, LLC! I couldn't imagine my most special day without her :)

    HIRING CHRISTINE WAS THE BEST DECISION MY DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND MADE. SHE WAS THOROUGH, ORGANIZED, ATTENTIVE, CALM, PROFESSIONAL AND APPEARED TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF HER JOB.

WHAT MORE COULD A MOTHER OF THE BRIDE HOPE FOR.

    I could not have wished nor expected more from our wedding planner, Christine Saxer.
    She was exceedingly responsive to any want or need, which were many. Most helpful with an endless source of vendors to choose from. A very tastefully creative person who knows how to work within a limited budget if necessary. We could not managed our daughters wedding day without her. Christine always had a "plan B" if any roadblocks occurred. I've never seen anyone work harder or faster than her, especially on our daughters wedding day. It was a perfect day and a lot of that credit belongs to Christine.

    Christine at Celebrations of Love was BEYOND fabulous! Words cannot describe. She took care of every little detail, every worry, and every anxiety, and always with a smile. I cannot have made it through my wedding without here. She took care of every last detail, went above and beyond. HIGHLY recommend her!! She has now worked events for several of my close friends. Amazing!

    Christine was a ROCK STAR!!!!!!!!!! I hired Chirstine for day of services and she came though big time. Chirstine was always professional and when a concern or problem arose, she took care of it so I could enjoy the day and be a carefree bride. Words to describe Chistine and her services include: amazing, fantastic, professional, creative, fun, easy going, pleasure to work with, puncutal and most of all... SHE TOOK THE WORRY AND WORK of the wedding day away from me.
    I would reccomend Christine to ANY bride if you want to enjoy your wedding day!!!!

    Christine was a FANTASTIC wedding planner! We were referred to her by a friend of mine and I am so thankful that we found her! Christine was so on top of everything and helped me make sure that I got everything done when I was supposed to. She even helped make calls to vendors and kept in contact with them so everyone was on the same page. She is so knowledgeable about what she is doing and was great to work with. Christine made our wedding day go off without a hitch. She was the best wedding money we spent - thanks Christine!

    Christine did an amazing job planning and hosting my bridal shower. I was really impressed with her creativity. She came up with a "Victorian Tea Party" theme (it was perfect for me!), as well as fun games that everyone enjoyed. I loved the special touches - doilies and gold chargers, beautiful flowers, a delicious spread of food, pretty pens... Thanks for a great shower, Christine!

    Christine was my dream wedding planner. She got a vision for what I wanted the day to be like and supported all of my decisions (despite my slightly unconventional wedding.) In addition, she had creative ideas of her own. She did everything she could to keep me calm, and was wherever I needed her to be at the flip of a coin. She was very thorough in everything she did for me whether it was finding the most budget-friendly appetizers to making beautiful menus. She was very willing and had a great positive attitude throughout the whole process. Our day was totally seamless. I would highly recommend her as a wedding planner because she works hard behind the scenes and makes the day all about you, as it should be :)

    We used Christine as a "day of the wedding" coordinator for our daughter's wedding, but her expertise and services went way beyond the day of. She is very thorough, and truly cared about our wedding being the best day ever. Very personal service!
