About

Cristen & Co. is a planning & design firm that creates high-end celebrations near and far that tend to our client's individuality and vision while producing a meaningful experience for them and their guests. Our planning & design process is comprehensive yet personal - each client’s experience with us is as different as each of the clients we have the honor to work with.

Let us provide you with our expertise and a curated celebration that is a reflection of who you are!

We now only offer E-Design Services for all Celebrations -

E-design means I will not be fully planning your celebration, be on-site executing the design or running the show on the day-of. Rather, I would work with you to create a full design plan virtually. This service is for the client that wants us to design their celebration but either do it themselves or have a coordinator execute their plans.

To summarize the e-design process: we would have a kick-off virtual meeting where we would discuss your entire celebration from start to finish, and you would walk through your inspiration, the flow and how you envision the day. You would fill out a detailed questionnaire and put together a small pin board with no more than 20-25 images. Using all of that information, we would then create a detailed design plan for you that will be shared in pdf format including but not limited to: a color palette, imagery and descriptions for every detail of your celebration from table design, place settings, stationery, flowers, etc..We will provide sources for all major design elements and rental items along with a list of recommended local vendors for you to contact to bring the vision to life. We can also provide client consultations to answer any pressing planning questions you have which will be offered by the hourly rate.

Our e-design fees begin at $895 USD. Final costs are determined after a complimentary consultation!

Hire Cristen Immediately

I don't even know where to begin with how wonderful Cristen is and how much of a pleasure it was working with her. In fact, the term "working with her" even feels strange to say because she became a wonderful friend in the process.

From the first phone call I had with Cristen, I knew there would be no one else I would want helping us with our wedding. After every conversation with her throughout the course of the year I felt heard and at ease with every aspect of planning. Cristen is wonderful at picking up your style and hitting it out of the park. I have seen several of her weddings and each one is unique and focused on each individual couple. She will take any idea you have and make it 100x better then you thought it could be.

To say Cristen created our dream wedding is the understatement of the century. Cristen created a wedding that was so spectacular and so "us" that we were blown away. Cristen takes the time to go through every detail thoroughly and thoughtfully. She does her research, she gives you options and makes the entire wedding planning process a breeze ( minus seating charts which will forever haunt us brides).

Hiring Cristen was the best decision we made for our day. Even amidst the craziness I believe her life must be, Cristen makes you feel like you are her only bride and is there for you for every step of the process.

Cristen is a miracle worker!

Without Cristen, there is no way our wedding would have been as wonderful or well-orchestrated. Cristen helped us find the best vendors within our budget, created and designed our dream wedding after meeting with us and figuring out what we hoped for, and she was there for us every step of the way to make sure it all came together perfectly. She cares so much about putting together the best day for her clients and it truly shows through her amazing work! She took literally all of the stress out of my wedding planning experience -- she pays such close attention to detail and made sure things ran smoothly and looked beautiful. At one point, my eyelashes were coming unglued and she was able to 1) get eyelash glue and 2) expertly reattach them within 15 minutes of me even realizing there was an issue with them. She was there for us every step of the way and the end results were breathtaking. I was able to enjoy the entire process -- and especially the actual wedding day -- because I had complete faith in Cristen and her professionalism, expertise, and drive for perfection. Cristen was a dream to work with!

We love Cristen & Co!

We aren’t sure where to even begin to thank Cristen from Cristen & Co. for all of the work, time, and thoughtfulness she put into planning our wedding. Her eye for detail and ability to see an idea and put it into effect is unlike any other planner I have ever come across. We knew she was our perfect match when she was down for our initial meeting at a coffee shop with ooey gooey chocolate chip cookies and she split one with us. She is willing to do it all to help put your dream wedding together but also help you to stay within budget and never is pushy with putting you outside of that comfort zone whether that is with the budget or with something design related that may not be your style. She truly wants to help you have a calm, relaxed wedding day and that is exactly how we felt on our big day. We worried about nothing on our wedding day and even more importantly, we knew we were in the absolute best hands all year long. Thank you, Cristen, we are forever in debt to you!
