It was such a pleasure working with CME to plan our wedding. Christine's expertise was evident through each phase of the process - from crafting our initial design boards to selecting tablescape details to creating an intricate day-of timeline. She is extremely organized, creative, professional, and kind. On the wedding day, Christine and her team consistently checked in on us and ensured that every detail unfolded seamlessly and according to schedule. Our wedding vision was executed flawlessly and the day was even more beautiful than we could've imagined, all thanks to Christine and her team's hard work. Highly recommend! -

Knowledgeable and Skilled
We had Christine for the Event Design and Management package, so she helped us with making design selections, and then a few weeks prior to our wedding, helped us make sure we had everything in line and did day of coordination.
I’m so glad that we had someone with wedding industry knowledge to be our person to ask questions to, and give us guidance about things we would never have thought about. Multiple times during design calls, Christine would bring up a cool thing to do or way to add a bit of ourselves to our day that we wouldn’t have added otherwise.
On the day of, I was stress free because I knew that everything would be taken care of and I wouldn’t have to be guiding vendors around while trying to get ready. When I walked into our reception area, everything looked amazing and I didn’t have to lift a finger! Several of my friends commented on how organized Christine is and how she did a great job managing our rehearsal as well. I would definitely recommend Christine and her team so that you can have peace of mind during your wedding! -

Christine and her team made our wedding day dream turn to reality! From visiting venues to caterer tastings to designing the many details that contributed to the overall aesthetic, the composition of our wedding was perfectly captured. The day of, Christine and her team kept us well informed, very relaxed and on time. If we or anyone in our wedding party had any questions or needed help, they were present and ready to help. Everything was so well planned and made our wedding feel completely unique to us. We would recommend CME to anyone looking for a fun, well thought out, and seamlessly executed wedding! -

Christine and her team are amazing!!
Christine did such a fantastic job with our wedding!! I am so happy we decided to work with Christine and her team, she is detail oriented and did such an amazing job! My mom loved all the little details, like asking her during cake cutting if she wanted to move to the front. Christine made my wedding day so special and like a true fairy tale. I am so happy and still on cloud 9 from our special day. If you’re deciding on hiring Christine - just do it!! She will make your wedding day shine. -

If you read nothing else in this review, please read this one sentence: Work with the incredible Christine McFarlane Events for your wedding!
From the initial phone call, we knew Christine was the perfect fit for planning our perfect day. Every step of the way she delivered, communicated, added value, and put our minds at ease.
To start, we shared maybe 6 images max. as inspiration for design and she created the day of our dreams from just that! Then, Christine helped keep us on track with planning and decision making by providing frequent check-ins, timelines, and a checklist of to-dos.
On the wedding day, Christine and her team (Mack and Jess!) were on top of every detail, not one thing out of place (seriously!). Both our guests and us deeply appreciated their kindness, organization, and helping hands during every moment — from getting ready to post-reception. We are so thankful to CME for making our wedding day so special! -

Best investment we made!!
How do I even put into words how amazing Christine and her team are? Hiring Christine was the best investment we made for our wedding.
Christine was an absolute dream to work with, from start to finish she made the wedding planning journey so much less stressful. I am a type A, anxious bride and former planner myself, ensuring we had the right planner was top priority. After our initial consultation we knew CME was the right fit. Christine made sure I felt prepared and calm throughout the entire process. Christine was always 5 steps ahead and a solution for everything - which spoiler alert every solution and idea was perfect.
We cannot recommend her or her team enough. She executed our vision perfectly, and exceeded our expectations.
Christine was the very best investment we have ever made, we highly recommend hiring her for the ‘full planning package’. Our wedding was executed flawlessly and her team went above and beyond what was expected of them. Our guests have told us over and over that our wedding was one the most beautiful weddings they have ever attended and every detail was thought of, that was all the CME team. Our friends and family also commented on how well of a job they did on the day of, everything was taken care of and we cannot thank her team enough. 1000/10 experience, you will not regret investing in the CME experience. -

Exceptional. Incredible. Amazing. The Best.
Christine was an absolute dream to work with. I could not recommend her or her team any more highly. She was beyond organized, executed our vision perfectly, and did it all while keeping within the budget restraints that were given to her. We felt prepared at every stage of the wedding planning process, and also very calm: if there were any problems along the way we were not aware of them, and if something did arise Christine already had a solution, and it was a great one; on theme and in budget.
Christine was the very best investment I have ever made, I highly recommend hiring her for the ‘full planning package’. She exceeded our expectations, executed flawlessly and went above and beyond what was outlined in our contract. 100/10 experience. I wish we could do it again, only so we could spend more time with her and utilize her services more.

The best planning team!
We cannot imagine our wedding day without Christine and her wonderful team! From the first meeting with Christine to the last minutes of our wedding, she was always beyond kind, made us feel relaxed, and was very professional. Family and friends kept asking us why we were so stress free, and it is truly because of Christine. Every single design detail was thought of, the timeline she provided was throughly detailed for us and other vendors, and even made sure that it would stay on track! If something went wrong, we didn’t know about it! We have friends and family who are already asking us for her contact information, so we know they even noticed how amazing and incredible her work is. I know we will see her and her beautiful team again! -

Invest in CME!
Spoiler alert - don’t think twice about hiring a wedding planner. They are the best investment you will make from the planning stages to the day of your wedding. Christine and her team create absolute magic. CME truly pulled every aspect of what we wanted out of our day and made it a reality. She just got us – she completely understood and helped tie together the look we were going for. Having previously been in the wedding industry myself, we had a solid vendor team already on board. Christine had no problem collaborating with the vendors we had already booked and worked closely with them to ensure the overall design was communicated clearly and executed flawlessly. The combination of white elements, mixed with subtle neutral hues, and monochromatic design came together so perfectly. They came up with things I couldn't have even imagined. From planning the timeline, vendor communication, to overall design and the mood that they created, I’m so thankful we had the privilege of working with them for our wedding. On the day of our wedding, there were literally ZERO issues and our guests still rave about how it was the most beautiful and nicest weddings they’ve ever been to. Everything was picture perfect, and we owe it all to CME! -

Simply put, our wedding would not have been possible without Christine and her team. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without their input and expertise. From our initial phone call, to our design board meeting, to every frantic email along the way, Christine’s calm demeanor put us at ease throughout the planning process. Her tips and suggestions made us feel confident about the logistics of our wedding day and she was easily able to pivot when any changes were thrown our way. During our rehearsal, our wedding party loved how easily we were able to walk through the ceremony with Christine’s help. On the day of our wedding, Christine and MacKenzie made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Many of our guests complimented their hard work, and our photographers were so impressed with their execution. We would recommend Christine and her team in a heartbeat to anyone who is planning a wedding! -

Christine was my wedding fairy godmother. First of all, she kept me sane and provided expert advice in the months leading up to my wedding. Then she went above and beyond to bring together a dream team - so much gratitude for CME's Allie and MacKenzie as well - to take care of our destination wedding weekend.
The team flawlessly prepared for and handled the logistics of our big busy wedding day. I'm talking 21 wedding party members, rehearsed the day before under their direction and coordination, and on the day of - having all of our friends and family in position for group portraits on the DOT to keep the schedule moving. I'm talking helping me keep track of details shipped from another state. I'm talking last minute candle votives! I'm talking... helping me add a last minute surprise musical performance for my husband to the timeline, like the week before!
I always knew Christine and I were on the same page at any given moment. She stayed true to everything that mattered to me and my husband, and made it so we didn't have to lift a finger on wedding day. I heard from my family and friends numerous times, throughout the wedding and after, of the things Christine and her team were doing to keep a pulse on every aspect of the day, and to truly coordinate every minute of it.
This team of amazing women were timely, focused, skilled, kind, somehow everywhere at once, and absolute experts at what they do. Magic. I can't thank Christine and the team enough. You need to hire Christine to make your wedding dreams come true! -

Christine and the CME team did and AMAZING job and went above and beyond for our wedding day. To begin with, she was the only planner who offered the package that served our needs and very affordably, which was design services and day of. From the beginning of the process through the end, Christine helped us through every step and decision flawlessly. On the big day, there were multiple points throughout the day where I was so impressed by the calmness of the team, their ability to always be where you needed them when you needed them and their overall attention to every single detail. I even had our photographer say how proactive and hard working they were. The were always one step ahead and addressed every need, which made the day run flawlessly and allowed us to relax and enjoy the fun. It truly was better than we could have ever imagined. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone! -

Rachel E. Sent on 12/30/2021Christine McFarlane Events is so wonderful, and you absolutely cannot plan your wedding without them!
We heard about Christine McFarlane Events through The Assembly Room, and have loved Christine since the beginning! We used CME for the day-of-coordinator package, and genuinely could not have pulled off our wedding without the CME team. Not joking. We clicked immediately during our first phone call-- Christine is so easy to talk to, funny, sweet, and just as into your wedding as you are! When you’re planning a wedding and stressing about every single thing, it’s so nice to have someone to ask questions to and have on your side. When I first bought my wedding dress, Christine hyped me up to the high heavens – it was the sweetest thing and I will never forget how happy that made me!
As the wedding date approached I began to just totally lose track of what we had to do, when we had to do them, where things had to be, how many candles went where etc., and Allie from CME was always on top of it. She took our boxes and boxes of décor and set up The Assembly Room beautifully with the help of the CME team members, she corralled groomsmen and bridesmaids (very impressively), she made sure we had food and drinks and zero worries the whole night. Allie expertly got us through our day without a hitch. I don’t know how we would have handled the décor, the timeline, anything really, without hiring CME. Do yourself a favor and hire Christine’s team, and have a stress-free wedding! -

Rachel W. Sent on 10/12/2021I couldn’t have done it without her!
I hired CME for partial planning of my 200 person wedding. My only regret is not hiring them for full. I am a very detail oriented yet indecisive person. I had a general idea of what I liked design wise but no idea how to articulate it nor bring it to life. After a phone consult with Christine she was able to create a cohesive, unique, romantic and beautiful wedding design. Through out the entire process Christine was available to advise me, to make recommendations, and to calm me. She went above and beyond what she was hired for - helping me choose between other vendors, choose my dress, and even driving 2 plus hours to come to the appointment with me to choose linens and tableware. On the day of, she and her team worked seamlessly. They are all extremely professional, polite, and organized. They were able to keep everything on track despite having a hiccup with transportation in the beginning of the night (a hiccup which they quickly and calmly helped us navigate). They also worked wonderfully with the other vendor teams. After seeing me go through the wedding process and witnessing CME in action my recently engaged friend also hired her. I truly can not say enough nice things about Christine and her team. I am so incredibly grateful to them all. My wedding was the best day of my life and I owe it to Christine McFarlane Events and her incredible team. -

Where do I even begin? Christine and her team were INCREDIBLE. They were so organized and made sure everything went smoothly. During the ceremony, my strap broke. Christine and her team came to the rescue and fixed it. I truly don’t know what I would have done without them there. I cannot say enough good things about this crew. Thank you again for making our special day amazing! -

A Fairytale Wedding
From start to finish Christine and her team were AMAZING. There were so many times that we leaned on them for help and they were always there with quick responses and full support. Our wedding day was beautifully curated and it felt like a fairytale! The day went so smoothly all because of the hard and talented work of the Christine McFarlane Events team. As a bride it was important to me to not have any stress on my wedding day, and let me tell you there was not one moment of stress that day! It was all smiles, love, and fun times. If you are looking for a trustworthy, talented, friendly, and professional wedding planner then this is the wedding planner for you. I could go on for days of how amazing they are and I can assure you that you wont regret hiring Christine McFarlane! -

Sarah Sent on 06/13/2021Outstanding!
There’s a reason Christine comes so highly recommended. We had to completely re-plan our wedding in about 5 and a half months after covid forced our original venue to close, and Christine and her team delivered beyond our wildest expectations. From coordinating all of our vendors, to guiding us through the rehearsal, to making our dream reception a reality, and even dealing with the inevitable issues that pop up on the day of the wedding, Christine handled everything flawlessly. She put us at complete ease in the chaos. There is no one you want in your corner more than her! We highly recommend Christine McFarlane Events for your big day, you won’t regret it! -

I cannot say enough about our experience with CME. The whole process - from planning to post - was extremely seamless. Christine has to be a mind reader, as she was able to put my jumbled thoughts and ideas down on a vision board perfectly and brought it to life. COVID presented a lot of challenges like our guest count fluctuating just weeks before the big day, and CME was there for us during our tough conversations, re-routing to Plan B (or C, D, etc.) and then routing back to Plan A. The day of was amazing - Emily, Carmen and Mackenzie were so incredibly helpful to not only us but our wedding party and our family. They never seemed to get in the way but were always there when we needed them. A truly perfect addition to our wedding planning process.
