The best there is!

Christine and her team are THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! I have seen her work for years so when it came time for our wedding, it was a no brainer decision. Christine does not miss a beat, no detail goes unnoticed. After one meeting with Christine she saw my vision and truly brought it to life. Not only did I thoroughly enjoy working with her but EVERY vendor sung her praises.

Christine and Jordan made the whole wedding planning process easy and fun. They helped me and guided me with every decision to make sure the wedding day ran smoothly. I got to enjoy the entire wedding day because there was no doubt in my mind that Christine and Jordan were on it.

They are responsive, extremely organized, and are truly the nicest team. I was sad not to have our meetings when the wedding was over because they were such a pleasure to work with!

I couldn't be happier with our wedding day, everything went perfectly and we owe a huge thank you to CWeventsfirm!

Best decision ever!

I was an October 2023 Saratoga bride & booking Christine for our wedding weekend was the BEST decision we made. We were debating if we could afford a planner with our budget and she made it so easy to find a package that worked for our needs. Not only is Christine the best planner in the area, but she is also a genuinely incredible person. After every consultation I felt FAR less stressed & even more excited for our wedding day to finally arrive. The weekend of the wedding her & Lindsay made sure everything ran so smoothly. I knew that the second I woke up on Saturday I didn’t have to worry about anything – which was such a great feeling. We had big families/bridal parties & it poured the day of our wedding – and they handled all the logistics with ease.

I want to take time to acknowledge that Christine experienced a tragic event the months before our wedding. She immediately put me in touch with her team member Jordan to handle any questions I might have had before she returned back to the office. Even during a hard time, she is thinking of what is best for her clients and making sure they are taken care of. She is a devoted professional & terrific person. I would recommend her and her team to anyone planning a wedding in the area.

I couldn't have predicted how necessary and wonderful this planner would be !

Our daughter and (now) son-in-law wanted to have a wedding in beautiful Saratoga Springs during track season. They live in another state and suggested that hiring a wedding planner local to Saratoga was a good idea. I was concerned that a stranger planning my daughter's wedding would make it less personal and "less special". I never should have hesitated.
We are so thankful that we hired Christine Wheat.
We worked with Christine and her team for fifteen months during the planning process. This did not take away the planning fun as I had feared. On the contrary, Christine trimmed down the "shopping around tasks" for the bride and groom and presented them with a few of the best choices ( vendors, menus, etc.) for them to decide for themselves. She did a wonderful job keeping the necessary timeline. She knew exactly WHAT needed to be booked WHEN. Time after time we saw evidence from outside sources that if we had not secured certain components when Christine advised, we would have been disappointed and not able to get our first choice. An example of one detail completely taken care of - the complex transportation schedules necessary to shuffle guests to and from 5 different hotels to 4/5 different wedding events. EVERYONE was where they needed to be on time ! It was perfect !
Jordan Kratz was our Lead Planner and the wedding turned out flawless. I will always refer to her and Laura as the "Dynamic Duo".
I am grateful for their attention to detail as well as their "calming" presence. This M.O.B. (also known as "control freak") couldn't help turning to Jordan on a few occasions during the day asking a last minute question or relaying a last minute idea - only to be told (VERY GENTLY and PATIENTLY) that it was already done or already in process.
At the end of this perfect day Jordan and Laura somehow carefully packed up EVERYTHING from the reception and returned it to our hotel so that the Bride's family would be able to attend and enjoy the after party.
I am SO GRATEFUL that this team created and then orchestrated such a beautiful and memorable wedding weekend for our daughter and son-in-law!
