INTENTIONAL WEDDING PLANNING FOR THOSE FOCUSED ON PRESENCE OVER PERFECTION

Our approach to planning is all about giving you the smooth, easy experience you deserve—while keeping focused on the meaning behind the celebration, instead of just the minutiae of it.

Because the reason behind your wedding isn't a party—it’s a lifetime of partnership.

The best decision we've ever made!

Where do I begin? Working with Christina and the Pinch Me Planning team was the easiest and best decision we made. From our first introductory conversation to our wedding day - Christina was unwavering in her attention to detail, creativity, organization, compatibility, and thoughtfulness. Her incredible reputation and vendor relationships within Maine and New England made our vendor selection that much easier along the way. As expected, they were the perfect match for us. Pinch Me Planning's full-service planning and design process allowed my family and I the confidence that even a hurricane couldn't stop us from having the perfect weekend. We unexpectedly had to shift venues, due to a hurricane, less than a week before our wedding day. There aren't enough "thank you's" to show our appreciation and love for Christina guiding us through an emotional week, finding a new venue, and seamlessly transitioning our vendors and wedding day to a new space. Despite the wild circumstances, that plan B venue turned out to be our plan A. It was meant to be. And it was perfection - thanks to Christina, her team, and our wonderful vendors.

Christina is our planner turned friend - and we couldn't be more grateful! Thank you for all that you've done PMP!

We love you,
Heidi + Matt Shimshock

Seamless and Spectacular

Christina is the reason I was a happy, stress free mother of the bride! I had the time of my life because of my confidence in Christina being in charge. She perfected the wedding we had hoped for and took it to the next level. She is super easy to work with, organized, kept me on top of necessary payments and decisions. Her vendors were perfect matches for us. She has a great friendly staff. The wedding was flawless thanks to her. We will never be able to repay her for letting us have nothing to think about and letting us enjoy the incredible celebration. THE BEST!!

Dream planner for our dream wedding

Working with Christina and the Pinch Me Planning team was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. If the glowing five-star reviews don’t already speak for themselves, know that you are in the best, most experienced, organized, kind, fun, thoughtful, dream-teams hands! Having Christina and team help with planning gave us peace of mind knowing how interconnected she is in the Portland and greater Maine wedding industry (think: tips and tricks that only seasoned professionals who have worked with a slew of vendors would know!) and day-of coordination allowed us to ENJOY our own wedding without a worry in the world, a true blessing when so much expectation is held in one big day which can create a lot of pressure. Every detail was perfect and none of it would have come together without Christina’s help! Look no further for the absolute best wedding planner!
