Pre Wedding: We met Christie in New Orleans at Hi Volt Cafe to "interview" for month of wedding planning. We met mid July 2017 and our wedding was scheduled for June 9, 2018. She was recommended by a friend. Christie showed up on time and was very professional and friendly. She gave a lot of recommendations for florists, caterers, bands, etc...I was definitely being the serious questions asker while my fiancée was being friendly and chatty.
Post Wedding: We we're so well taken care of and didn't want for anything- they were one step ahead of us the whole night, whatever we wanted they had already thought about it. I highly recommend you book her for your wedding. She will be a friend for life and will help you make your dream wedding come true.
Below are specific topics I asked her about when we first interviewed her nine months from the wedding, then how I felt about it post Wedding.
|Knowledge|
She was very knowledgeable about wedding planning. So many thing we didn't even consider she talked about. Things from caterers providing servers and wait staff to pick up food, to the band/DJ doing acoustic checks while we're out doing the second line, and even having a point of contact for receiving all the items (guest book, excess alcohol/food, pictures etc..) after the weddings over.
Post Wedding Knowledge: I feel a bit silly writing this now, she worked extremely well with the caterers, florist, venue owner, etc...they all gave her high praises
|Professionalism|
She was laid back and professional at the time time. A comfort to talk to, and work with.
Post Wedding Professionalism: Top Notch! Christie was very professional. She was helpful not only to our needs, but to our guest needs as well. She always had a smile on her face :-)
|Services|
She talked about backup plans for any weather issues. Even though we only want a month before package, she said we can email her at anytime and ask her questions or advice.
Post Wedding: Christie and her assistant Amanda were full of tips and tricks throughout the planning and the wedding pre and post ceremony. They got us tucked away in our private room after the second line with appetizers and entrees waiting for us. They knew we wouldn't be able to have quiet time together (or time to eat) during the reception. Lol they were right, thanks y'all!
|Challenges|
I asked about her challenges she's faced, and she told us about a time she had a second line issue. The police officers didn't want to take a canal bc they didn't want to go against traffic, and bourbon st was closed on their new route. She spoke to the police officer, he allowed them to go down canal street. Amazing story- ask her about it
Post Wedding: No challenges, hot June weather with no rain. ^_^ read more
