I knew I wanted to work with Christina to plan our September wedding the moment she gave us a tour of our venue, South Coast Botanic Garden. It was our first (and only) tour of a venue and Christina was the first planner we met; almost immediately we knew our search for a venue and planner was done. Christina was so sweet and eager to make our day special even before she knew we planned to hire her. We booked Christina for her "month-of" services but when I had questions months before the wedding, she didn't hesitate to help. Though my husband may disagree, I like to think I was a chill bride but even the chillest of brides has a planner full of questions from how to get elderly guests to a faraway bathroom to how much water I needed to buy for a hot-summer wedding. Christina promptly answered every question and every time I spoke with her I felt like planning a wedding wouldn't kill me after all. She had so many cost-saving tips that helped us have a gorgeous, budget-friendly wedding our friends and family are still talking about. On the day of, we didn't have to worry about a thing and Christina and her team ran their operation like seasoned pros. They are professional and fun! If you want to turn your Pinterest board into an unforgettable and stress-free wedding, hire Events Boutique! read more

Christina is amazing. We read all the positive reviews and wondered how good she could be. She was THAT good. Everything went smoothly thanks to her. She helped us out at the church and organized everything at the venue. She was extremely responsive and provided all the reassurance we needed. She recommended our DJ who absolutely killed it on the night. We're so happy we found her. If you're having a wedding and reading through reviews, I'd check if she's available for your date, have a chat with her and seal the deal before someone else does :) read more

Incredible, patient, kind, amazing, PERFECT! No words begin to describe this company. I was one of those anxious brides who always had a concern, no matter what! Taneel replied within an hour every single time. I personally only worked with Taneel and Christina, but I just know this whole team is just as amazing as they are. My wedding day was SO beautiful, I'm getting teary eyed just thinking about it. If you ask me what my favorite part of the wedding & planning was (besides marrying my high school sweetheart), I will undoubtedly tell you it was working with Taneel every single time. True story, I cried after my wedding because that meant no more regular texts/ meetings with Taneel! She was thorough, smart, and honestly probably knew me better than I knew myself when planning this wedding! Don't even hesitate, hire The Events Boutique. Tbh, considering having a vow renewal ceremony and reception just to work with her again. ;) read more

I used The Events Boutique for my wedding this August in Spokane, Washington. Taneel LaForte was my wedding planner and day of coordinator, we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Taneel thought of things before I even had time to worry about them. She kept the whole day flowing perfectly, she was always smiling and very professional. There was never a question that went unanswered. The Events Boutique exceeded our expectations! Thank you The Events Boutique for giving us our dream wedding. read more

The Events Boutique - Wedding Planning Near Me

Taneel was my day of wedding coordinator, but in reality she did everything and MORE. I am so blessed to have Taneel who was always there listening to me vent, answered all my questions, resolved anything that came her way, you name it. Taneel was always by my side, supported me and made my wedding day so special. She organized my wedding timeline and was ALWAYS on top of everything at the Sonesta hotel I got married at. She took care of talking to all of my vendors and making sure everyone was on the same page!! On my wedding day, I was so happy and amazed that my vision came to life! Taneel made sure the placement of the ceremony was where I envisioned it to be and that everything was ready with the ceremony, reception, dinner meals, the bar, place cards, gift table, wedding cake, etc. She made my experience stress-free and exceeded my expectations!! Anything that happened last minute, Taneel resolved the situation so well that I didn't even know about it until the next day. I honestly do not know what my wedding would have been like without her. Taneel is the sweetest, very communicative, and most helpful. I could always count on her. She made sure all my personal items and decor were presented how I wanted. I have never seen someone so organized and pays attention to every detail so well. There is so much more I can go on about on how Taneel was so involved. You can tell she loves what she does and it shows!! As I mentioned and I will repeat it again that she exceeded my expectations as I enjoyed my wedding day to the fullest all thanks to her!! It was so much fun. I highly recommend the Events Boutique, Taneel you deserve a million stars!! :) read more

I got married in October 2021 at a location that had the Events Boutique as the only option for a wedding planner. We wanted a shorter engagement - 7 months - so things were pretty crazy throughout it. I have held off writing until now because I didn't want to rant in anger, rather I want to share the weaknesses of this organization. We were assigned Christina who gave the illusion of having everything together on all the phone calls. She was upbeat, encouraging, and reassuring. However, she did not come through when we really needed her. The first major issue was her absence at our rehearsal dinner, which she then promised to send an assistant to walk us through the plan. No assistant ever showed up. My family and I tried to walk through it as best we could, but we have never done this before! We focused on the ceremony order, and on the wedding, the ceremony went very smoothly. However, we didn't walk through the reception, and that was where things really began to fall apart. Our entire wedding was outdoors, and the tables had floating candles. Throughout the reception, Christina was running to table to relight candles instead of managing the 3 additional staff we had been advised to hire (who were NOT proactive and stood around unless told to do something). I found out after the wedding that not all the tables got food because some tables got seconds before others had gotten any. This is poor management! I was horribly embarrassed and felt for my guests when I heard some of them went without food. The final issue I realized mid-way through the reception was that Christina had an older version of the schedule - I had updated it one last time and the DJ had the most recent version. Because of this, Christina did not direct people to begin getting food at 6:30pm (when I paid the caterers to begin serving), but waited until 7pm. I asked my guests after the wedding and they said there was a weird delay after the ceremony, and I was angry. This delay caused us to only have dancing/party time for 45 minutes, which my husband was sorely disappointed about. Overall, I was aghast with the lack of organization and management skills that Christina displayed. It is hard not to blame her for ruining our wedding. If I could do it over again, I would not hire her, or possibly any coordinator, because I could have done it better myself. read more

We first met Christina through the South Coast Botanic Garden, and immediately my fiancée and I felt less stress about the overwhelming task of planning a wedding. She could not have been more generous with her time, showing us the entire Garden. After we hired her as a wedding coordinator, she has always replied to all of our texts and emails, being generous with her time, any time or day. Hiring her has been one of the best decisions we have made because she has been a tremendous help with recommendations for vendors and overall planning and budgeting. Highly recommend. read more

Thank you to Christina and her team for making our wedding day so beautiful! We hired them as our on-the-day coordinators for our wedding, but for weeks before that, Christina was available to help with all of the logistics and to answer any questions or concerns I had. As the venue was non-inclusive, and most of the wedding was planned by myself and my husband, you can imagine how important it was for me that every detail should be attended to. Christina was extremely patient throughout this entire journey and she absolutely killed it the day of with my endless list of things to do. Now that I've planned my own wedding, I've come to realize that being an event coordinator is not an easy job. It comes with a lot of unforeseen circumstances, last minute stressors, logistical nightmares, and I truly don't know how Christina does it. She has layers and layers of information organized in her head and her determination truly showed during the day of our wedding. Thank you for loving and caring about our special day as much as we had, we will always be grateful to you and your team! As soon as we get some photos/videos back, I will be sure to post them! read more

I found The Events Boutique on WW. I will be the first to admit I've been married before and so, thought I could do all the wedding planning myself. However, with an out-of-town wedding, I really wanted someone who could take the stress off me as well as really know their stuff, all without having the time to fly out there to meet them before signing a contract (tall order, I know). On top of that, a wedding planner becomes your best friend (a best friend in under a year?!) so, it was difficult for me to find someone I thought would fit that description until I happened to stumble upon The Events Boutique. Christina was only supposed to be my "month-of" planner, but I found myself going to her for tips and advice months before the wedding and she readily responded helpfully, kindly & creatively, something most people wouldn't do. I finally had to relent and asked The Events Boutique to do my floral arrangements as well. The month before was a breeze. I got few questions from Christina and even fewer from my vendors (she was that good); I would only hear snippets from vendors like "so excited for your wedding and btw, Christina is so sweet!" or "I already talked to Christina but just wanted to let you know I'm excited!" Day of: My flowers came out exactly what I expected, if not more spectacular; my bouquet was so gorgeous and big that it was tiring carrying it around. Every detail (and I had alot) we had discussed was accounted for and implemented. Christina kept order during absolute chaos and did all with calm and class! I don't think I can finish my review without crying and saying thank you for giving us the best wedding I could've imagined. I wouldn't just recommend Christina, I would anyone who passes her up is crazy. read more

We hired Christina at Events Boutique to plan our September wedding at Saddlerock Ranch and are so so glad that we did. We were planning our (250-person, outdoor, Indian) wedding from across the country, so it was a huge logistical lift. We absolutely couldn't have done it without her. She knows a ton of vendors in the LA area that she connected us with, and all of her the people she recommended were amazing. And I don't just mean catering and florals.... when we asked her if it would be possible to have churros at our rehearsal dinner, she immediately responded, "Of course, I'll call my churro guy!" He made fresh, amazing churros and ended up being the hit of the night. But she also never pressured us to use the folks she knew, and was happy to work with new vendors as well -- even when they stopped answered her calls and emails and she had to drive in person across LA multiple times to get contracts signed! She's amazing at dealing with problems. Since we were getting married in LA in September, we had no rain plan -- and when the forecast suddenly predicted rain three days before our wedding, she managed to get us a tent and plan an entirely new layout for our venue in a matter of days without breaking a sweat. And just as importantly, she does it all with a smile on her face. She's so laid back, cheerful and funny -- truly the person you want on the other end of the phone line when you're feeling overwhelmed with wedding planning anxiety. Her team is also amazing -- on our wedding day, they were absolutely professional, great at their jobs, and just lovely people. We can't recommend her enough! read more

Will NOT recommend The Events Boutique to any of my family or friends. We hired Christina for "day of coordinator" for our 70 person wedding at Shutters on the Beach. I have held off from posting this review in hopes she would have some consideration and reach out to me regarding my deposit but SHE HAS NOT and just kept my money!!! I'm not going to feel bad for posting this during the pandemic because she has blamed me for canceling my wedding and feels entitled to keep my deposit. This is NOT the type of person you want in charge of such an important day in your life!! Especially after you pay so much for your wedding day!! My wedding was cancelled due to covid (Shutters is closed through June) and when we found out (in March, 2 months before my actual wedding) I immediately contacted Christina to inform her the venue canceled our wedding and that I wanted to discuss my deposit because my fiancé and I do not have a postponed date due to the uncertainty of the virus and government mandated restrictions on large events. Her response was "it is non refundable and none of her other couples were asking about their deposit so she didn't know why I was and that I can use that deposit towards my future wedding date." After many weeks of negotiating with her, she only agreed to give me half of my deposit back because she claims to have spent some of my deposit on the 2 assistants she hired for my 70 person wedding that never happened! I asked her to show me proof of money spent on my wedding to date and she completely ignored my requests, multiple times. She only agreed to give me half of my deposit only after I sign her gag order. I told her I felt uncomfortable signing her document and she informed me that was the only way I could receive my partial refund! I feel it's extremely unfair that she's holding my deposit hostage and refuses to give me proof of money spent on my wedding. Christina says I cancelled my wedding, even though the venue did because it would be closed due to the pandemic and because I won't choose a future date, She does not need to give me back my deposit. I did not have anything to do with the Covid virus and because I cannot pick a future date for our wedding, she is refusing to give me my deposit back. All I was looking for was some kind of compassion from her but instead I was treated like I canceled my wedding so I don't deserve my money back...I had nothing to do with the venue being closed due to the pandemic...Why would I ever hire her to coordinate my wedding after she handled the situation like this?!? read more

I booked Christina, owner of The Events Boutique, to help with the month of planning for my wedding in May. Initially, i interviewed her and 2 other wedding planners for a partial planning package and decided to use the least expensive one - BIG mistake! I learned you really get what you pay for with wedding planning and that experience is everything! I finally had to let my first planner go and got on board with Christina in February which was the best decision i made in my wedding planning process! I immediately felt at ease with Christina and knew she was going to help my wedding vision come alive. By the time I had confirmed her, I had booked nearly all my vendors so unfortunately missed out on taking advantage of her deep network of vendors. So, if you are thinking of booking The Events Boutique, I recommend confirming early in the process so you can maximize all the perks of a well connected planner! Christina knows someone for everything and although I didn't book any additional vendors, she knew exactly who could get the job done for anything I wanted - even hand painted programs I showed her from an article in a wedding magazine! How amazing is she! Even though I booked her for the "month of," she was available via phone, text and email for my many questions and was a great resource! Invaluable actually. You can read as much as you want in books (I certainly did!), but to have a great planner at your fingertips for advice is priceless! My only regret is not booking Christina early! We met for an initial planning session so we could review my vision and Pinterest pages about 2 months out. She also came with me to my final florist meeting and my final venue walk through which was very helpful and made me feel extra confident in all my planning decisions. As an experienced planner, she has great organizational skills and worked meticulously on the wedding day timeline with me. I had some curveballs and she handled them so well. I knew that if anything were to go wrong on the wedding day, that Christina would take care of it effortlessly and that's the feeling you want to have on your wedding day!!! That allowed me to focus (and worry!) about my first dance and personal vows instead of the coordination details. I felt so calm on my wedding day, even with a screaming flower girl and a sick and crying ring bearer. It all flowed because I was in good hands :) Do yourself a favor and book Christina...you'll wish you did it earlier- She is a beautiful person and has a personality that automatically puts a smile on your face! I wish I had more weddings to plan just so I could work with her again!! read more

Christina is absolutely incredible and a true professional. She kept me sane throughout the wedding planning process and she was the reason I went into our wedding day knowing I wouldn't have to worry about anything. She is the perfect combination of polite and assertive. She keeps logistics on track while remaining so kind and calm. Our entire vendor team loved working with her. Not only that, she ended up saving us money by convincing our venue's catering service not to charge us for kids meals for toddlers! I can't rave about Christina and her team enough. They made our day carefree and perfect. read more

We hired The Events Boutique for our company parties, meetings, and annual holiday party. Christina and Allison are a pleasure to work with. We leave everything to them to handle which makes it so much easier on us to try and figure it all out on our own. Its been 5 years and we consider them apart of our company now. We highly recommend them for whatever type of event your are planning. They also planned my wedding last year and we still get compliments about it! read more

I can't thank the events boutique enough for all that they did. We went into our wedding day unsure of how beneficial a day-of wedding planner would actually be (we were very involved and hands-on with our wedding) but when the day came we realized how necessary and how helpful Cory and Taneel really were. They were ALWAYS 3 steps ahead of us, completely on top of everything, so patient and understanding when we had a hiccup with our venue... 48 HOURS BEFORE OUR WEDDING!!!! Taneel dealt with all of our vendors for us and updated them on the venue change when we weren't able to handle dealing with small details like that. We are Canadian and were in LA in February to meet all of our vendors and Christina was very accommodating about meeting us when and where it worked best. I completely understand why people rave about having a wedding planner and Taneel and Cory KILLED it. They helped make the day as beautiful as it was. We are so thankful for them. read more

I am a caterer and have worked with MANY coordinators but Taneel at the events boutique takes the cake by far! She was the sweetest and most professional person and very competent. I wish all coordinators would be like her. Hope to work with you again!! read more

The Events Boutique made our wedding a dream come true. Christina was very professional, accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our event went as planned. When we were searching for a coordinator we were looking for a dependable, knowledgeable, down to earth, easy to work with " real person". Christina not only matched our expectations, she surpassed them. read more

The Events Boutique staff and Christina are amazing! We met Christina at a Wedding Expo and after talking to her we knew she was the one. She has a great personality, is dependable and down to earth. She met with us on how we wanted our special day to go and was very thorough. We also got our flower arrangements through them. They were stunning and my bouquet was exactly what I wanted. Our wedding was beautiful and everything went smooth thanks to her and her staff. We were able to enjoy our wedding and dance the night away. We would definitely recommend her to anyone. She will surpass your expectations! read more

The Events Boutique did such an awesome job planning our wedding. My wedding was prefect. Christina made all our ideas come to life exactly how we imagined them to be. Christina and her staff were very professional, helpful and most of all friendly. Our friends and family still talk about how beautiful our wedding was and it's been 6 months. We would definitely use The Events Boutique again, and I have already referred them to a friend. read more

Christina and her staff at The Events Boutique are truly amazing! She made the entire planning process fun and exciting. She was really helpful and patient while going over all of our options for how we wanted our special day to go. The entire day went so seamless and smooth it was amazing, even with some unexpected obstacles of which I had no idea went on until a few days later. All of our guest had a blast , but more importantly my wife was able to just sit back and enjoy the entire experience without every having to worry about a thing. That to me is the most important benefit of a truly amazing wedding coordinator...Happy Wife, Happy Life! :-))) Thanks Christina! read more

We chose The Events Boutique after seeing Christina on a panel during a wedding event. We liked her personality and felt like we could be comfortable with choosing her services for Day Of Coordinator for our wedding day. She informed us 2 of her staff would lead and assist on our wedding day but less than 2 months before our wedding day, Christina lead and Allison assisted on our big day. We were very happy with both of them! The design and color for our wedding cake was wrong and Christina managed to save it by using the ribbon and flowers from my moh's bouquet before pictures were taken for the caking cutting. She also informed us of any vendors who didn't do a good job and let us know she either didn't give tip or gave a low tip. We really appreciated her honesty. We also liked how she and Allison always attended to us. The photobooth attendant was ill and she let us know she told him to leave an hour early but made sure we took some pictures before he torn the photobooth down. She also made sure we were refunded for that hour by contacting the vendor the following day. Our wedding day was spectacular and we have The Events Boutique to thank! read more

My daughter and I chose The Events Boutique/Christina and her crew to help us plan her wedding after a phone interview. We were sold after reading reviews and having a great conversation where we explained our wants and needs and Christina listened, then explained her abilities to meet our expectations. She did not disappoint! She met with us a few times and came to our meetings with the rental company. We received lots of great input from Christina and trusted in her advice as this was our first go at putting on a wedding completely from scratch (needed tent, chairs, tables, etc). Emails and calls were promptly returned. She has great organization skills including the detailed timeline, which she adjusted based on my daughter's wants and needs. I'm sort of a control freak,...no, I AM a control freak... but when I could not get in to the tent, due to forces out of my control, long enough to finish all the decorating I had planned to do, which included setting up a living room complete with pillows and throws and finishing the decor around a reclaimed wood arbor over the sweetheart table with curtains, lace, candles on the table, etc, etc, etc, the list goes on...Christina assured me she had my back. I had to just completely let go and trust her and the crew as other wedding events were at hand (rehearsal and dinner following). Time was out for me and I so wanted everything just perfect for my daughter's big day. When I showed up the next day for the pre-ceremony photos, I was floored and so overwhelmed with the job she did. I had told her my ideas, left all of the decor laying around and she took it and ran with it and hit it out of the park. What a relief! ....And it was soo amazingly beautiful! She and her crew are stealth. They just slipped around during the ceremony and reception, going undetected, and just getting things done without bothering me or my husband or the happy couple. There really were no worries at all....which I am so, so incredibly grateful for. To just be able to enjoy and be in the moment was such a gift! On behalf of me and my daughter, Thank you Christina and the crew from The Events Boutique, from the bottom of our hearts:) ~Michelle D., Rolling Hills read more

TLDR version: Christina and The Events Boutique team are reliable, trustworthy, can handle anything you throw at them, and truly care about you. Stop looking and choose Christina and The Events Boutique! My husband and I were extremely lucky to find Christina and The Events Boutique via reviews on Yelp/Wedding Wire, so I wanted to pay it forward and write about my wonderful experience in working with Christina and The Events Boutique in hopes that you, too, will choose to work with her and her team! I wanted to plan my Los Angeles wedding from out of state, during my fourth year of medical school, while applying for my residency and moving almost every month for rotations at different hospitals. It was an incredibly busy and stressful time, and there is no way our wedding could have come together without Christina. In interviewing various wedding planners, Christina immediately stood out in that she felt like a friend, and I felt that I could trust her. For a bride planning your big day, this is so important. You want to know that you can lean on someone who will execute your dream day. I can't emphasize enough how much Christina cares about you and your event. She made me feel like I was the only wedding she had, when I know she had many more. I had an incredibly ambitious, complicated dream wedding that included 2 ceremonies, 4 wardrobe changes, a huge wedding party scattered all across the country, and even trying to acquire a horse/elephant/other-logistically-complex-means-of-transportation for a huge Baraat in downtown Los Angeles. There were tons of logistics and details required, and Christina handled it all with confidence and poise. As a self-admitted type-A bride, I sent Christina suuuuper long texts and emails with tons of questions and details and she always responded to each item quickly, thoroughly, and helpfully. And most importantly, she always has a smile and assures you everything is going to be okay for your big day. She is just a fun, positive person to be around. On the day of my wedding, I remember walking out to see the setup for the (first) ceremony and being so overwhelmingly happy and in sheer awe. It was like seeing my dream wedding come to life. That was one of the best memories of my wedding day, and I have Christina and The Events Boutique to thank for that. I had a lot of additional décor that I wanted set up, and Christina and her team executed every single detail to perfection. Three months later, guests still tell me what an amazing wedding it was. Here are some photos if you'd like to see The Events Boutique's work: http://vibiana.com/weddings/vibiana-wedding-aparna-rodell/ Apart from wedding planning, Christina remembered little details about my life and would check in periodically to see how I was doing. She actually remembered my residency match day (which is a huge day in medical school) and texted me well wishes! She remembered when I had exams. She remembered when I was traveling and on interviews. She took extra time to get to know me and my husband and our families and to always make sure we were happy. If you want personal, attentive wedding planning with someone whom you'll be able to call your friend, choose Christina and The Events Boutique! read more

Christina and her team are amazing! In order to save some money, I decided to plan most of the wedding myself and use her as my day of coordinator. The moment we met Christina, I instantly knew she was the one; she has a warm personality, is easy to talk to, and really knows her sh*t. Although the day of starts about a month out from the wedding, I really felt that Christina helped with planning further out than that. She was easily reachable by email and cell, and at our detail meeting she really helped button up all our loose ends. We had hired one of her Associate Planners (Cory) and an assistant (Tesha), but since Christina did not have an event for that day, she helped out too! It was definitely a bonus and I was so happy to have her there. The big day went by without a hitch: Cory did a really good job of making sure that both my husband and I had food and drinks AT ALL TIMES, everything ran on time, cleanup was a breeze, and if something went wrong, I definitely didn't know about it. :) If you're looking for a great events team, Christina and the Events Boutique is the one! read more

Christina is nothing short of magical. She helped me find the perfect venue in less than a month. She took the time to listen to what we wanted and saved me so much emotional and physical fatigue. Thank you Christina for guiding us through one of life's greatest stressors. I offer her my highest recommendation. There are not enough stars to tell you how much she will help you. A wedding planner has skills that cannot be replicated their advice and support is essential. It will make your life easier. You deserve it. If you are considering calling Christina remember the words of Nike.... JUST DO IT!!!!! read more

The Events Boutique was by far our favorite vendor for our wedding in Costa Mesa back in September 2019! From the very beginning when we first met at the venue walk through, we immediately felt comfortable with Christina's personality and knowledge. She listened to all of our requests and provided very useful recommendations. For example, one recommendation she offered us was to have my husband and I eat dinner in the bridal suite right before our grand entrance. This allowed us to enjoy our dinner and get food in our stomachs, since she knew that we wouldn't have the chance to eat later on. More importantly, Christina and her team are all very punctual and accurate with the wedding timeline. Everything went to plan and all of our friends and family couldn't believe how smooth our wedding went! Another compliment came from our DJ, who said that she was the best coordinator he has ever worked with and that their communication was top notch. The Events Boutique staff all had head sets to communicate with one another so there wasn't any miscommunication. Overall, we could not have had a better wedding coordinator than Christina and her assistants at The Events Boutique! They helped make our big day seamless and stress free, it was the best day ever and it wouldn't have been the same with out them. I highly recommend using Christina and The Events Boutique as a wedding coordinator. read more

Christina of The Events Boutique is phenomenal!! We hired The Events Boutique for day of coordination, but I felt like she was with us every step of the way - always responsive to my questions and available to talk over ideas. Her energy is so warm, welcoming, and confident. The second you meet her you'll feel as if you've known her your entire life. At our first meeting I knew my wedding would turn out beautifully with Christina in charge. She's easy to work with, super organized, and kept everything and everyone on track. Thanks Tina!! read more

My fiancee and I are planning our destination wedding in Hawaii. We somehow got the contact of Pohai at Event Boutique in Hawaii. We spoke with her on the phone once but found her unprofessional and inexperienced. Maybe I'm being harsh and she's just starting out, but I'll let someone else give her the experience, thank you very much! It's our only chance to get it right, and I won't be taking any chances. Glad to have figured this out after only 1 phone call. read more

My husband and I are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Christina and her team at The Events Boutique for our wedding. Christina and her team were very dedicated to our vision. They were professional, creative, friendly, and went above and beyond for our wedding. The moment we contacted Christina and had our 1st meeting, we knew she was the one to plan and execute our big day. She and her team made sure every single aspect leading up to and the day of our wedding was properly executed. They took care of us completely on the day of: making sure we ate, were sensitive to the tight schedule, and navigated 400 people across 3 events (2 weddings and a reception) in 1 day effortlessly. Christina was always available, answered millions of questions, eased our concerns, a great confidante, and someone who we truly developed a great relationship with. Christina and her team at The Events Boutique are the best and we cannot thank them enough for making our day the best. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to have the best wedding planner and team. read more

I think I felt the way most couples do when they get closer to their date - overwhelmed. The Events Boutique made the process stress free and more importantly as FUN as it should be! We decided to hire Ashley one of their Associate Planners for Month of Coordination. She responded promptly and was knowledgeable and gave us helpful advice. Our wedding day surpassed our expectations! The ceremony and the reception ran smoothy and on time. Ashley made sure we were comfortable and happy the entire time. I've recommended them to 2 friends who are getting married in 2015 and have hired them. Thank you Ashley and The Events Boutique! read more

My name is Amy and my husband Jonathan and I hired the Events Boutique for our day of coordination for our 9/20/14 wedding at the Crowne Plaza in Redondo Beach. We were working on a pretty tight budget for our wedding so we decided to hire Cristina for the day of coordination as opposed to full planning. Cristina went above and beyond our expectations. She was always a phone call or an email away and was very timely in getting back to us. She eased all my doubts about planning and offered exceptional advice when it came to having problematic family members. We met with her just a couple times before the wedding and from there she made our jobs very easy. She coordinated all our vendors and made our timeline for the day with our DJ. Cristina also made herself available by phone or email to my mother who lives in Indiana. The morning of the wedding, Cristina was right on time with a great team alongside. Without any direction whatsoever, her team assembled all of our DIY decorations in such a beautiful way. I was almost worried that I never explained where I wanted things, but when I saw the placement, she did a better job than what I had originally envisioned. TRUST the professional. Cristina and her team did excellent throughout the day and once the wedding started, they were right by my side with anything I needed, water, compliments on my look, and even some jokes to calm my nerves. I really felt like Cristina had my back with every step I took towards the aisle. The ceremony went off without a hitch! Her team really went the extra mile when at the last minute, a family member was not available to take my dog (the ring bearer) to the pet hotel for the night, and Cristina sent one of her own to take care of it. Thank God she did. I am forever grateful because that was definitely not her job but she took responsibility with barely being asked. We had an assistant with us and the bridal party when we took to the beach for pictures while Cristina stayed at the venue to set the reception. Everything was beautiful and everything went on schedule without a hitch! One of the things I remember most, was during dinner, I was so overheated and nauseous, most likely the come down of high anxiety and extreme adrenaline, and I went to the bathroom to calm down. As I sat there with my gown half undone standing over a sink feeling like I was going to pass out, in comes Cristina with the holy grail. ICE PACKS. She saved my life by shoving some down my dress and giving me water. I started to feel better after the ice. The ice packs alone were worth every penny. The rest of the evening was fantastic and beautiful. Even at the end of the night Cristina and her teamed hauled up all the florals to our suite so we could keep them and they helped break down the venue within an hour flat. The Events Boutique was so amazing and I have no bad review whatsoever. She even helped us communicate with other vendors on any problems we had after the fact. She has kept in contact to make sure we were taken care of with any of them. I am so impressed with her work and professionalism. It was like working with Jennifer Lopez in the wedding planner. Perfection. I highly recommend The Events Boutique and Cristina for any event you are planning. read more
