MEET CHRISTENA
Planning weddings that are
perfectly you.
Christena was very responsive and professional throughout the entire process. She was just as excited as I was to create our dream wedding. I was planning the wedding from a distance and she was so helpful in finding vendors to fit our vision and budget. I heard some people feel like planners take over the process and brides don't get a say, but I definitely didn't feel that way with Christena and the team.
