Stepping Up to the Challenge: The Beautiful Celebration of Gabrielle and James
Last month, we had the incredible opportunity to step in at the last minute for Gabrielle and James's wedding. When they unexpectedly lost contact with their coordinator just days before the big day, we embraced the challenge and ensured everything went smoothly. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience.
Rising to the Occasion
With their wedding just around the corner, Gabrielle and James needed immediate assistance. We were thrilled to step in and make their dream day a reality. Despite the last-minute hurdles, it was truly a blessing to witness their love and commitment shine through.
Tips for Choosing the Right Coordinator
This experience highlights the importance of selecting your wedding coordinator wisely. Here are a few tips to help ensure a seamless planning process:
1. Always have a signed contract: This guarantees that your vendor is committed to providing the agreed-upon services or offering a refund if needed.
2. Check reviews and references: Look for testimonials from previous clients and ask for references to gauge reliability.
3. Communicate regularly: Stay in touch with your planner to ensure responsiveness and reliability.
4. Have a backup plan: Ensure there are contingency plans in place for any unforeseen circumstances.
At Cristylane Weddings and Events, we are dedicated to staying true to our promise. We are committed to making your special day perfect, no matter the challenges.
A Memorable Experience
Gabrielle and James's wedding was a testament to the power of love and community. It was an honor to be part of their journey, and we are proud to have helped make their day truly magical.

I cannot say enough about Christy as a wedding coordinator or as the amazing person she is! What she did for my husband and I, we will never forget! We were ghosted by another coordinator just days before our wedding, and not only did Christy step in on short notice, but she went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. We knew that our wedding would be more intimate with close friends and family, but we still wanted to look back and see how beautiful everything was and that our dream came true on our wedding day. Christy made that possible for us! Everything was absolutely beautiful! I was able to get ready the morning of my wedding without having to worry about any decorating or other wedding details. I was able to focus on the fact that I was about to get married to the love of my life. Because of her we were able to have the beautiful day we did. We were able to focus on each other, our family, and our friends on our wedding day instead of having to run around and worry about other things. We can never repay her or thank her enough for what she did for us not only on our wedding day but the days leading up to it as well! Our family and friends were also very grateful for her and will never forget her! Christy you are now known as the G.O.A.T in our family!! If anyone is looking for a wedding coordinator and wants their wedding to be everything they ever dreamed of, you don't have to look any further than Christy!!!
Cristy carefully organized the day to be a success while working around many unique obstacles and hardfamily dynamics. My wedding would not have happened without her help.

One memorable wedding moment was a plantation wedding with 150 guests. Despite the rain, the joy and love in the air were undeniable, and the photos beautifully captured the essence of the day.
