Not only was she able to jump in last…read moreminute, under pressure and make my wedding day a true fairytale, but she also made me feel heard, understood, and was so excited for me. You can tell she truly loves her job and wants to make everyone's wedding day spectacular and perfect. Christina made it possible for my husband and I to have the wedding of our dreams! We're so grateful for her and all of her help. Not only did she go above and beyond in the most important things- like picking out a good florist, giving recommendations on caterers, tents, etc., but she also made sure to send us back to the hotel on our wedding night with extra entrées and cake because she knew we wouldn't have the time to eat while entertaining our guests. She would truly thought of everything, down to the smallest details!

One of the most exciting times of life is having a daughter to celebrate when the man she loves ask…read moreher to marry him. Recently our daughter, Allie, was joyfully engaged and the time had arrived for wedding planning. We agreed that the guidance of a Wedding Planner was definite, yet had no idea where to start. Not having sources that had used an independent wedding planner, we perused internet reviews and one name floated to the top over and over. Her reviews were stellar and her pictures exciting. Together we agreed to reached out the CHRISTINA LOGAN EVENTS and set up a meeting with Christina Logan. Aware that planning a wedding was complex - complicated by Allie's work schedule and with me living out of state - it was critical to find the right person to tackle our lives while pulling together the dream wedding. As Christina introduced herself, it was clear that we were in the presence of someone who was not only skilled at her craft but genuinely passionate about making Allie's special day perfect. Our anxiety slipped away, knowing we met our perfect wedding planner, we joyfully hired Christina Logan Events to plan Allie and Alex's wedding. Christina quickly presented a detail outline of our budget and put together a board of Allie's thoughts - dress ideas, colors and flowers - a highlight of her dream. It was spot on! Allie's text to Christina was "So excited! You're doing amazing pinpointing my vague idea!"  We were realizing the fortune of finding Christina, who was professional, dedicated, giving attention to detail that was beyond our comprehension. Before long, a delightful sense of humor emerged from Christina, making the entire planning process enjoyable and stress-free.   Christina worked effortlessly through every phase, no matter how big or small, ensuring everything was executed flawlessly. She respectfully listened to Allie's ideas, saw her vision, and worked tirelessly to bring it beautifully to life. (And thank God for that sense of humor which was fully appreciated when attention to numbers attending and table assignments were required). With everything perfectly in place prior to the wedding, on ceremony day, Christina was a stealth spirit of perfection. She set finial touches on tables, perfected the bridal cake, straightened the groomsmen, pinned my dress lining, oversaw food service and the entertainment, orchestrated the wedding party, ensured all facilities were well-maintained, and more. The evening flowed flawlessly as she guided Allie and Alex with calming ease and complete support .... Always with her lovely smile. At night's end, not missing a step, she had the getaway car packed and awaiting the new Mr. & Mrs., sparklers passed out, arms open sending Allie and Alex off with hugs. It was beautifully moving for me, Mother of the Bride. Christina was a highly treasured part of Allie's wedding journey. She also became a cherished friend, whom I miss speaking with weekly. We are forever grateful for this Angel - truly a gift from God. We highly recommend to all of you seeking someone to guide you through to your dream wedding - she is here - Christina Logan of Christina Logan Events.

From Costco runs to getting floral arrangements together and beyond. They put together a flawless, beautiful, dream wedding for me and my husband. I didn't have to worry about a thing because I knew that the entire wedding was in good hands with these two. Not only will these girls work so very hard for you, they will also give great advise, come up with awesome ideas, problem solve, and use their many creative talents to pull off the ideal look and feel of your wedding. I know weddings can be stressful and can put the bride in a panic but if you'd rather sit back with a glass of champagne and enjoy the day then Ryder and Rhoades is the way to go.

I gave them my vision for the ceremony space and reception area and they made it jump off a Pinterest page and come to life. They were cool, calm and collected-- solving problems that arose and taking care of all the behind the scenes chaos that happens getting weddings set up. They're professional, personable, and punctual-- hardworking and creative-- I mean it truly doesn't get any better than these two. There's no question in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to pull off the most beautiful wedding I've ever been to (I realize I'm slightly biased) without the help of Ryder + Rhoades. Whether you want the full experience of wedding planning collaboration or just want someone to make sure things run smoothly day of (BELIEVE ME, YOU DO), choose Courtney and Anna to make those perfect wedding visions come true! They'll be my recommendation to my nearest and dearest friends, and strangers too! :)

My birthday party was December 10 and it was currently early in November. Given the number of Christmas parties and other things going on in December I was pretty desperate to lock someone down because I wanted karaoke for my birthday party damn it and I intended to get it. After an unhelpful shout out to local yelpers (no responses..booo!), I used the google to find some local places. I finally settled on Nashville Party Authority because a) the price was lower than the other and b) Blair really talked to me about songs that would be available and c) he made me feel comfortable that he would be there and knew how to lead a party. True to his word, Blair was there with a DJ in training and were already set up by 8pm. He assured me that they would play awesome dance music until people got up enough liquid courage to sing and would advertise the karaoke so that people could get their guts up. He had most every song we wanted to sing (very few were not available) and played music in between when I was opening gifts and when people weren't signed up to sing. There was no actual SIGNING up either, just walk up and tell him and you are UP NEXT or put in exact order as signing up. Since it was a private party with only 40ish guests it wasn't hard to sing whatever you want. He had half of my party dancing their asses off in between songs too so he knows how to get people feeling festive. By the way, so does alcohol!! They bring the sound, the books for jogging your memory on songs, microphones (two), the TV with words, everything you need except a bunch of singers to get your groove on. Cost was also reasonable for the time of year, Saturday night party, and the relatively late booking. I intend to keep this guy in my mental rolodex to use again next time I want to have a fun party. You should keep them in your mental rolodex too!!

My husband and I are truly thankful for all their hard work on pulling off our dream wedding. We couldn't have done it without them! Our guests raved about all the little details and the great pieces of furniture we had on display. It worked perfect with Arrington Vineyards as our venue! Follow two monkeys vintage on Facebook and Instagram to see some photos of weddings they've done.

We hired her as a coordinator which I believe starts about 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding. She went above and beyond throughout the entire process - she was always readily available before the official time started and she attended several meetings and walkthroughs prior to the big weekend. There were some major changes with our venue as a different event coordinator at our venue was hired, and Megan was the steady presence who navigated through these last minute changes which required extra meetings to bridge the gaps for our venue's team. She always demonstrated kindness, professionalism, organization, and had a calm demeanor. She ensured everything was well-prepared for the big day and made sure I felt confident with the plan. On the wedding day, she handled everything beautifully. Megan and her wonderful assistant Jane made the day run smoothly and effortlessly, which allowed us to truly be present and soak in every moment. Everything happened perfectly and as planned - down to the minute. We are endlessly thankful for the love and effort Megan poured into making our wedding so special and the best weekend of our lives! Of note, our wedding was held at the Hermitage Hotel. I especially recommend her for our venue where she did a spectacular job!
