Nancy E. Sent on 06/08/2023Christina is Amazing
It is two months to the day that we had the most amazing wedding weekend in Charleston. My daughter, Allyson and future husband, Stu decided to use Christina Baxter as their wedding planner and what an awesome experience we had.
From the beginning, Christina and Mia were so receptive to ideas, listening to and understanding ally’s vision. She guided us to the most wonderful vendors, all while keeping Ally’s ideas at the forefront.
As the mother of the bride, Christina and Mia were so easy to work with. As parents, we had a few things that were very important to us for the weekend festivities, and these were all executed beautifully.
Christina and Mia kept us on track throughout the year and half of planning and paid such attention to detail. And it was perfect!
When I think back on the entire process, I just smile. I was so relaxed and truly got to enjoy every moment because Christina and Mia had it all under control. I wish I had another daughter so I could do it all over again!!Christina Baxter Weddings and Events's reply:
We wish Nancy had another daughter too! We had such a good time together throughout the planning process, and truly enjoyed watching Nancy and her husband Bob celebrating the marriage of their beautiful daughter, and soak in every minute of the day.

Debby C. Sent on 11/17/2023The CBWE team is the best!
I interviewed a number of wedding planners, but after Christina and I met (and she proactively and quickly followed up with an estimate) my choice was simple. I was convinced that Christina’s personality would mesh well with both my daughter (bride) and me (MOB), and her budgeting prowess/financial sensitivity would click with my husband (FOB). Working with Mia, CBWE’s senior event coordinator, was an added delight … "icing on the (wedding) cake."
If asked to describe the CBWE team, I'd have to lead with incredibly talented, great communicators, highly efficient and organized, detail- and solutions-oriented, flexible, and continually focused on delivering excellence. Equally important, they’re a lot of fun! And, since my daughter is a PharmD, I'll throw in a drug reference: they’re wedding Xanax! Christina and Mia managed to keep the planning process, selections and ongoing execution as simple and stress-free as possible (for us at least) -- even when rain wedding day threatened to derail the bride and vibe. CBWE pivoted seamlessly when a tent was required and managed to "bougie it up" so that it looked intentional. They and their dedicated network of vendors are miracle workers.
The CBWE team was amazing day of the wedding -- everything from checking on and hydrating the wedding party, making sure people were where they were supposed to be, keeping the bride dry, double-checking vendors and details, down to moving stray items into and straightening up the newlyweds’ suite before they retired.
My daughter and I didn't really have a vision for the day, but the CBWE team managed to subtly (and when needed directly) guide us to an outstanding one. Everyone has told us (and continues to tell us) it was the most beautiful, over-the-top and fun wedding ever. My daughter and our new son had the wedding of their dreams, and I can't thank Christina and Mia enough! -

Christina & Mia created the most perfect wedding weekend of my dreams. It was everything and more!!! From the flowers to the linens to the chairs to the overall feel of the day and night, every single thing was absolutely above and beyond what I had imagined and even hoped for. It was absolutely wonderful, and I'm so thankful to have had these two women turn my dreams to reality. Truly the best decision!!!! -

Christina and Mia made our day so unbelievably special. From making sure we each had perfectly timed cocktails to finding the absolute best vendors for everything, they could not have done a better job. We cannot recommend this team highly enough and are SO appreciative for all they did to make our weekend the best ever. -

Christina and Mia are the dream team. They went above and beyond to ensure that me and my husband had the best weekend of our lives (they planned our rehearsal dinner/ welcome party and wedding day).
My mom and I worked closely with Christina and Mia during a 1.5 year planning process, and honestly every step was enjoyable and not stressful, thanks to them. From the first meeting, I could tell they were very detail oriented and excellent at their job. Once they saw my vision and style, they helped to recommend and secure the best vendors (ones that matched my taste) and I cannot believe how well everything came together. Still on cloud 9 two months later…
Not only are Christina and Mia wonderful people, but they are creative, professional, and extremely responsive. I would recommend Christina Baxter Weddings a hundred times over!Christina Baxter Weddings and Events's reply:
Dream Clients! We loved every minute of the planning and got goosebumps watching Ally walk down the Aisle and big smiles watching everyone celebrating on the dance floor! Wishing these two a long life together, filled with love, laughter and joy. -

Hands down the best!
My husband and I had the most unique, stunning, and deeply personal wedding that was even more magical than we ever could have imagined! It all came together seamlessly because of Christina Baxter and her equally amazing assistant, Mia.
I truly don’t know what we would have done without Christina throughout the entire planning process. While my family is local to Charleston, my now-husband and I live in Chicago, so first and foremost we needed a planner who could help us navigate the overwhelming vendor options from a distance. It was also extremely important to us that our planner would be able to tap into Charleston’s amazing creative community and culture. We knew we made the right choice with Christina when she almost immediately sent us a carefully curated list of vendors and helped us to secure our selections well in advance (something I would have never gotten around to if left to my own devices). She even reached out to one of Charleston’s most revered artists and obtained permission to use his work as visual inspiration for our decor!
Anyone who is reading this on the WeddingWire has likely come across the roster of Charleston’s Instagram-famous planners, all of whom produce objectively beautiful events. However, most of them will tell you point-blank that their weddings have a specific aesthetic that you are committing to and paying for handsomely. What really differentiates Christina from the rest is that YOU are the brand. She goes above and beyond to give you a wedding that is unmistakably your own. She cares more about beautifully bringing your vision to life than what tones will go best with her website’s color scheme. Her ability to work with any style, mentality, or personality demonstrates the true expanse of her talent.
Very few people in this world are blessed with both creative and organizational talent; Christina is certainly one of those rare exceptions. She and Mia were absolutely essential in making sure the best day of our lives just that, and we will be eternally grateful for their preparation, patience, inspiration, guidance, and support over the past year.
TL;DR: If you want your wedding to truly reflect who you are as a couple, you absolutely need Christina!Christina Baxter Weddings and Events's reply:
We knew within the first few minutes of our first zoom call that we were going to love working with Jennifer and Matt and creating their vision. They are great lovers and collectors of modern art, and we used that as the inspiration for their design. It was so fun creating something bold, beautiful and truly unique. Right down to the art wall behind the head table that showcased work from their private collection. It was truly one of the most exciting and creative collaborations we have had with a client. -

Chandon J. Sent on 10/05/2022Best decision we made!!
Hiring Christina for our wedding was the most important and best decision we made! When we started working with her in June of 2020 we had no idea exactly how critical having an incredible planner like Christina could be. Right from the beginning she dove in coordinating the design and figuring out how to bring every idea we had (big and small) to life. Her recommendations for vendors and the artists she works with to bring your vision to life are true pros. From Hair and Makeup, to Catering, to Lighting and the Bridal Assistant (we didn’t know needed, but absolutely did) Christina brought together and incredible team! Like many couples planning a wedding in 2020 we had to postpone our original date. She helped us weigh the options and she seamlessly shifted our entire event to our new date. Her eye for design is impeccable and she truly listens to what you want as a couple. It is this attention to detail that makes every wedding she does unique and personal. As we drew closer to the wedding day, Christina introduced us to her assistant, Mia! Let me just say what an unbelievable team Christina and Mia are! They went above and beyond to make sure every request we had was met. From last minute floral changes to day of seating arrangement adjustments to sourcing hand painted oyster shells a few months out from the big day… they had everything under control and we felt so taken care of with them. Every question was answered and every moment of the timeline was poured over. Our wedding day was truly seamless and our guests could not stop talking about how perfect every moment was! I could go on forever about how amazing Christina and her team are but I will end with one of my favorite stories of Christina’s incredible skills… Christina knew that I was very invested in all of the details so when the wind wouldn’t cooperate with lighting the candles in our tented reception Christina made me aware of the situation. The tent itself was so beautiful I didn’t even miss having the candles lit, but then, during dinner, I looked around and every candle was lit! Out of nowhere…it was like magic! Just like Christina and her team… pure magic! -

Charleston Wedding - The Dewberry
After re-scheduling FOUR times due to Covid, Christina made our wedding dreams come true! Everything went smoothly and was executed perfectly. She worked tirelessly rescheduling vendors and updating our rentals and design elements based on the changing seasons and availability. She was a lifesaver! She is incredibly experienced and had so many excellent vendor relationships and recommendations. When she felt a vendor was not a good fit or didn’t understand our vision, she was willing to have those difficult decisions with them in order to reduce any stress or awkward situations for us. Her vision, insight, and advice throughout the entire process was priceless! It truly was the perfect day for us and Christina Baxter made it happen!Christina Baxter Weddings and Events's reply:
After 4 reschedules due to COVID - it was such a delight to finally see Rachel and Remington walk down the aisle, exchange vows and dance the night away!
We already miss our calls and design, and re-design meetings, but we loved seeing her vision come to light and wish them a life filled with love, laughter and joy! -

Christina Baxter is simply amazing! There are no words to adequately express how wonderful she and her team are. We loved her from the start and in particular, we loved that she has this incredible way of listening to what you as a couple want/need/desire and boy does she deliver! She has great taste and a seemingly endless drive to create your absolute perfect wedding. Obviously pandemic weddings can create challenges and she made every transition flawless as we had to change locations and design. I can honestly say, we never once worried about the outcome knowing we had Christina on our side. The day was everything and more than we could have ever imagined - thank you Christina! -

Best Wedding Planner
I truly cannot put into words what an amazing experience it was to have Christina as my wedding planner. She helped me turn my vision into a reality. No ask was too big and no idea was ever not thoroughly discussed. Her willingness to always hop on a call, answer an email or text even at the craziest of hours showed how much she cares about her brides. Having a wedding during the peak of the pandemic she planned and replanned my wedding multiple times over the course of 2 years. During this process she always made me feel at ease, it was never a question if she had my best interest in mind. Her ability to understand a brides vision and execute it with grace and such kindness is unmatched. Christina and her team made my entire wedding weekend flawless, I could not recommended her enough! -

Selecting Christina Baxter Events as our wedding planner was THE best investment we made for our wedding! She was the ultimate professional from helping us select our venue to making sure everything ran seamlessly on our wedding day. Her attention to detail is second to none and she helped us design an event that felt so unique to us as a couple. When we decided to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic, she was the calming factor that helped us navigate all of the uncertainty and had everything turned around and so quickly organized for our new date. Her knowledge of the industry and vendors is so extensive -- it saved me an immense amount of time having to research as I fully trusted her recommendations. Christina was always so responsive and provided really helpful and creative suggestions. In addition to her fabulous and sophisticated design sense, the logistics and flow of the night were so fluid. Everything turned out even better than we could have imagined and it wouldn't have been possible without Christina and her team. If you are considering hiring an event planner, go with Christina!! From your first conversation with her you will get a sense of her working style and proven experience -- it will take the stress out of planning and you will have nothing less than an incredible event! -

Christina was the best decision we made in planning our Charleston wedding from Dallas. She transformed my ideas and visions into the most perfect day and we would not have survived the process without her. She was incredibly flexible in meeting with me in the limited times I was able to get to Charleston in-person and was always available for 3-way phone conversations with me and my mom. She brought such a sense of calmness and professionalism to wedding planning, despite the persistent COVID uncertainties. We also ended up having rain almost the entire day of our wedding, but Christina had prepared us for this (both emotionally and logistically) and the day remained absolutely seamless! We are endlessly grateful to Christina and her incredible team. -

The Best Wedding Planner!
There are not enough words for me to describe how thankful I am that Christina was my wedding planner! From the beginning of our planning process Christina went above and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. She listened to all of my ideas and inspirations and gave great suggestions to execute the perfect wedding! Her communication was phenomenal, when we had any questions she was always an email or phone call away. She was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun than stressful! On the day of our wedding she did a remarkable job of making the venue look absolutely beautiful. She captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for! She was absolute joy to work with and she went above and beyond my expectations. Choosing Christina to be my wedding planner was the best decision my husband and I ever made. I truly could not have made it through the day without her!

Simply, the BEST!
If you read no further, you should know, Christina Baxter is a phenomenal wedding planner. She was planner, friend, therapist, accountant, and confidant. Our very first call with Christina she walked us through what we could expect our budget to be. Although over the 22 months of our engagement the budget fluctuated; even with changes we made due to COVID-19 we still ended within range of her original outlined budget for us. She helped negotiate fair pricing with several of our vendors while also making sure we were able to have all the things that we wanted.
As an example, she worked with me to revise our wedding menu half a dozen times and she worked with my wife to revise our floral proposal about the same.
My wife and I live in CA and Christina was accessible to us via email, phone, text, facetime. We soon found that there were very few times she was unreachable to us. Christina even made time for us on her birthday!
Christina worked with us to find our band (which was the highlight of the night), photographer, florist, all our rentals. She walked us through our food selection and tastings. She helped us with our invitations and all sort so miscellaneous items we had to ship to Charleston, SC from CA. Christina specially has a keen eye for design. There is no doubt in my mind all the weddings she produces turn out beautifully.
My wife and I both had surprises for each other the night of our wedding (drum line and flash mob), Christina helped orchestrate each of the surprises without any hiccups!
Our wedding went off without a hitch! Each vendor executed perfectly, and Christina orchestrated all the moving pieces flawlessly. I would recommend Christina Baxter to anyone who is looking to have a consummate professional help them pull off the wedding of their dreams. 10/10!!

What a great way to wrap up a challenging year. You two were amazing through the process of all of the rescheduling, replanning, redesigning, due to COVID-19. In the end, I have to say, it was one of our favorite weddings of all times! -

As the mother of the bride, I was initially overwhelmed at the prospect of planning a destination wedding. The best decision we made was to hire Christina Baxter and her dedicated team.

The wedding and reception were spectacular and Christina went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire process! Thank you, Christina and team!! -
