Obsessed Events

YAHOOOOO! My wedding was A SUCCESS!
THE INTERVIEW PROCESS. I found Obsessed Events from a Facebook post and after meeting with a bunch of other planners, decided to give Christina a call. WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR she and her team was! [Other planners I talked to were very stuck in their ways and were refusing to listen to what I liked! One literally said they didn’t care whether or not I didn’t like Burlap and pumpkins for décor– that is what *she* wanted to do for my October wedding… wait, what!?!) So when I met Christina and she actually listened to my vision and ENHANCED it with her own creativity without pushing anything I didn’t want– I knew it was going to be an easy choice to hire her. I was able to check all the boxes I wanted from a planner: (1) She’s passionate about her job, (2) she’s creative, (3) she’s supportive of your vision (with no judgement!), (4) she’s easy to talk to– youthful and spirited (5) she just ‘gets it.’ (6) she’s experienced (7) she’s smart. Done. Prices– very reasonable.
HIRING OBSESSED EVENTS. I hired Christina and her team about a year before my wedding, however I had also already been planning almost a year before that, so Christina gave me the flexibility to create a CUSTOM package to fit exactly what I was looking for. I’m not sure, since then, if she has changed the structure of her packages, but I was able to get the «month-​of» plan but added design consultation. We signed right then and there and the fun began!
THE PLANNING. The next year, I never felt stressed ONCE during the planning process with Obsessed Events. Christina Emailed me to-​dos to keep me on track, which is nice (especially if you’re an anxious person like me!) because you don’t have to think ‘what am I SUPPOSED to be doing right now! You just follow the to-​do list and voila! You’re done! SUPER nice when you have a full time job and don’t have time to think! She will do ALL the thinking for you. I wish I could count how many Emails we had back and forth throughout the course of planning but… if I had to guess it was probably over a thousand! No question went unanswered, and she never made me feel that I was inconveniencing her or her team with my silly, crazy questions! Because, very soon into the planning, you will trust Christina and her team over anything you find on Google. Also a time-​saver! Christina helped me tie up a few vendors I hadn’t already hired and ones I didn’t even think to hire (hello, photobooth!) and by the end of the planning, I had a team of experienced, passionate vendors who treated my wedding as if it was a work of art that they couldn’t wait to hang on their wall. What a good feeling to have! I believe I met with Christina 6 or so times (that’s every other month) to talk details, pick out tablescapes, order rentals, meet vendors, etc. which was just perfect because I would have had NO idea where to even start without her help. Christina’s whole motto is Why do what Pinterest already did? Let’s make it BETTER. (And she has the talent and creativity to do so!)
THE REHEARSAL. Christina was physically there herself to go through the rehearsal with me. She was very professional, but fun. Even the boys complimented me on hiring such a ‘put together’ and ‘on-​it!’ coordinator. It felt good to hear others confirm that I made the right decision with Obsessed Events.
THE WEDDING DAY. This was it. The day we’ve been planning for over a year together. Christina was there with her assistant, who was sweet as could be, and I just … I’m still speechless a month later… I can’t even describe what it felt like to see everything come together and be BETTER than I had imagined it to be in my head. She worked her BUTT off and I know this because as the bride, everything went SO SMOOTHLY and perfectly. If anything did go wrong, which they say happens at every wedding, I, nor my guests, saw it happen! THAT is what you pay for, brides. That is what makes a good planner. All the details were taken care of, even ones I didn’t even think of. Christina knew all the tricks of the trade. When my bridal nerves + heat of the day weren’t letting me cool down, she brought me a LIFE SAVING ice cold wash cloth for the back of my neck. JUST EVERYTHING went perfectly. She took my scattered and general ideas and turned it into a beautiful VISION! I couldn’t have done it without Christina and her fabulous team. I’ll upload the professional pictures later when I receive them from my photographer!

Christina helped create my daughter’s dream wedding. She had amazing ideas and also listened to ours and incorporated all of them into an amazing event. She is very organized and creative and so is her staff.

I can’t say enough good things about Obsessed Events! Christina’s creativity and imagination brought my vision to life and made my day as beautiful as possible. The whole process was smooth and the vendors that were recommended turned out to be just as impressive. They also made my day completely stress free, I didn’t have to worry about a thing! I’m so glad I had them there for me!

Christina and Sari were a delight to work with and immediately grasped the vision for my daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding. They were on top of everything always promptly responding and providing much needed focus, and coordinating with a multitude of vendors. They truly are jems going above and beyond working at all hours to ensure every detail was addressed and that everything was absolutely perfect. The wedding and reception were magical. Truly a fairy tale come true through the efforts of these phenomenal ladies.

These girls are amazing!!! Not only did my wedding run so smooth due to obsessed events but my mom tore something on her dress right before my ceremony. No problem here because Christina got out a needle and thread and fixed her all up!!! They completely transformed my wedding into my dream wedding. I love their attention to detail and would not let one thing slip under their watch. They keep in touch with all my vendors and allowed me to enjoy the last few weeks coming up to my wedding because I did not need to worry about timelines and conformations. I highly recommend these fine gals for any wedding.

The best thing I did — besides say «yes» when my husband proposed — was hire Christina and her team! From our first planning call to checking in with me the day after the wedding, they did not miss a thing. I consider myself a very organized person and plan events in my job, and the Obsessed Events team blew me away!
For starters, their Rolodex is never-​ending. Anything I wanted or could imagine was delivered. Even my most wild ideas were met with a list of vendors who could handle my requests. Furthermore, they offered their sage advice at every step of the way and I felt completely secure in their expertise.
I was blown away by what they provided, so much more than I thought I could afford. My vision was not only enhanced and doubled in size, but completely affordable, thanks to the Obsessed Events team. Even one of my bridezilla moments (I was horrified by the lawn outside my venue — too long!) was met with a smile from Sari who said she would handle it. And she did — someone was out mowing the lawn immediately! They hung décor, folded napkins, corralled my massive family & bridal party during our wedding rehearsal, dealt with all my vendors… nothing, not one thing was missed or overlooked. And they did it all while making me feel like a princess.
HIRE OBSESSED EVENTS. You will not regret it! I’m already ready to renew my vows simply because I want Christina and her team to plan another magical soirée for me!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Christina was my wedding day planner last year and she just recently helped plan my cousins wedding. I can’t think of anyone more organized and calming to have at a wedding! She was very attentive to all my needs as a bride and helped with details I didn’t even know existed. She works behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly and it always does with her! Our family will be using her for all future events. I am SO happy we found her!

Christina is awesome. I contemplated on hiring a wedding planner for my October wedding, I am SO glad that we choose Christina. She was amazing from day 1. She helped me stay true to the vision of my wedding. She kept me on track the through the entire planning process and made sure I was getting done what I needed to. She communicated through weekly emails which worked very well. She «saved the day» on more than one occasion. 4 days prior to my wedding day, my dress had been previously altered and ended up still being 2″ to long and I was stepping on the front of it, Christina found someone last minute to alter my dress (there is no way I would have been able to find someone to do that at the last minute). Also, my hair person quit 3 days prior to the wedding and again Christina came through and found me a new hair dresser and was able to even set up a «trial run» 2 days prior to the wedding. This would have been so stressful with out her. She is worth her weight in gold. If you are considering hiring a wedding planner I would HIGHLY recommend it and Christina is your girl. She kept us on track at the reception which was really important, our reception flowed so smoothly thanks to her. She even brought us glasses of wine to sip on while taking photos. I can’t say enough nice things about Christina, she is professional, detail oriented, fun, and gets the job done.

It’s probably the most important and memorable day of your life, and you want everything to go perfectly. This happened. But it wouldn’t have happened without Christina and Sari from obsessed.
On the phone, Christina is «all business» which I love as I am a business owner and needed reassurance of the facts, not fluff. In person, she has the warmth and dedication of a true professional. She was amazing. She saw my vision from the beginning and translated that vision perfectly on wedding day.
If you are looking for a wedding planner, look no further… You have found your guiding light!
My favorite quote from her during our first meeting when I was incessantly questioning her about her services and my «day of» wedding concerns «Lisa, don’t worry. This isn’t my first rodeo.»
Love you gals!

I had the opportunity to work with Christina recently at The Flower Farm Inn and was thoroughly impressed with her. She constantly tended to our clients and flawlessly managed the details of the day, all with a smile. She is positive and friendly and keeps her composure under the pressure that all wedding day timelines can give. The flow of the wedding was perfect. I highly recommend her and hope to get the opportunity to work with her again in the near future!

Christina was simply amazing. Like most brides, I was trying to be as frugal as possible when it came to expenses, but I kept reading everywhere that you would NOT regret the use of a day-​of-​coordinator, so we decided to hire Christina for our July 5 wedding. (I learned later that she has several relationships with other vendors in the area that got me discounts on their services — AWESOME!)
Let me tell you that every single doubt was unfounded. Christina was so cool and calm and had EVERYTHING under control to the point where I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Prior to the wedding we traded several emails and then a week before we get together to go over my final details (including a worksheet she had me fill out that specifies what each item is, where it goes, and what it’s for so that she could make sure things were set up how I wanted them). She also made sure to check in with us on several details that we hadn’t even considered (like who will be responsible for getting the marriage license back to our room after signing it — ended up being her).
On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and got right to work making sure setup was going well and that everyone was doing what they were supposed to be doing at any given time. She made sure everyone lined up and walked down the aisle to the right timing, and then helped to make sure that our formal pictures flowed smoothly right after. She kept us on time for first dances, toasts, cake cutting, bouquet/​garter tosses, and the sparkler exit.
My favorite thing she did? Bring me and my husband some wine and beer while we were still outside in the 100 degree heat taking pictures. It’s the little things!
Christina has a great attitude and a great work ethic! She was an invaluable part of our amazing wedding! The complement I received the most? «What a well ORGANIZED event!» Love it.

Christina was great to work with. We hired her as our wedding coordinator.
We met with her before the wedding where she had a long list of questions for us to ensure we were on the same page for what we wanted for our wedding.
On the day of the wedding I had started setup before Christina arrived. She was on time and took over the responsibilities from me (the groom). She had a few questions for me about where some decorative things went and was perfectly willing to accept the answer of «I don’t know, just figure it out.» Eventually it was time for me to get ready and she handled the rest.
Christina coordinated timing for everyone walking down the isle. Later, during our marathon photo session, she even pleasantly surprised us with ice cold drinks from the bar during our marathon photo session, and eventually managed the cleanup.
She was well worth the money and I’d be happy to recommend her for anyone’s wedding.

Christina at Obsessed Events is amazing. She was able to take my vision and make it a reality, and also allowed me to relax and enjoy my wedding day instead of working and worrying. She put me in touch with the perfect vendors to add special touches to my décor, and helped coordinate all of my vendor’s needs. She’s so easy going and personable, and her prices are very reasonable. She’s a must have for any special event!

Christina and Obsessed Events are fantastic! I was at a wedding where she was the planner. The event was perfectly suited to the bride. Rustic & Classy is not easy to pull off, but they did it beautifully. The food was terrific, and the decorations, were amazing. I highly recommend their services.

Christina is awesome! She is very detail oriented and hard working and you can tell that she loves what she does! She’s organized and always on top of things! I’d recommend her to anyone :)

Christina is awesome! She has the most creative ideas and is truly passionate about the business. Whether you just need a little direction or someone to hold your hand through every step or someone to take it ALL of your hands and plan and execute it all for you — she is your lady. Creative, energetic and professional, I cannot say enough good things about her and her services. I highly recommend giving her a call, you will find yourself pleasantly surprised by how reasonable her prices are for all she offers!
