Christi was excellent! She helped shape our vision, was responsive, warm, friendly and always helpful. And she was willing to work within my budget. We were able to have the wedding of our dreams with 300 of our family and friends at a price we could afford. Friends and family repeatedly said our wedding was the best wedding they ever attended and that is thanks, in part, to Christi. Thank you Christi!

Christi provides reliable service and really delivers on that big day. She has a very creative eye and knows how to make your wedding really spectacular. I would recommend her to anyone I know who's thinking of getting married. Having her as our coordinator really made the whole experience more enjoyable.

I'd certainly recommend Affordable Events by Chris to anyone needing experienced, open minded, detail specific planning services for any event. Several months ago I was reading these reviews while my sister (the bride) and I were talking about whether or not we "needed" someone to plan her wedding. Now that it's over, I realize we couldn't have had such a wonderful ceremony and reception without her.
My husband and I offered to host the wedding in our backyard which made us a little nervous - a feeling that diminished after talking to Chris. She also helped us feel better about the fact the wedding date was only 5 months out! We doubted whether the yard was right for an estimated 200 people - she assured us it was. The bride wanted a Hawaiian-theme wedding - she was excited to do it.
When we first met Chris, there were six of us who were involved with the wedding and had questions - the bride's parents, the bride and groom, and my husband and I. Chris answered our questions and concerns, and suggested ideas we would have never thought about. I was very impressed with her communication. She was quick with replying to our emails and phone messages.
She organized vendors that she had known prior to the wedding as well as vendors hired by the parents of the bride to make it all come together in the end. She even managed to reseat 200 guests in order to provide shelter due to unexpected rain.
To summarize, it was a stunning set up with unique table and floral designs, incredible food, fast and friendly bar service that exceeded all of our expectations. Thank you Chris!

Christi did a fantastic job coordinating my wedding! I could not have been more pleased. She took took care of all my floral, centerpieces and lighting along with coordinating my entire event. We saved so much money by using her and everything turned out perfect, greater than we ever expected. She took care of my dad's last minute button mishap just minutes before he had to walk me down the aisle. I love you Christi and thank you again for such a perfect wedding day

Affordable Evens by Chris planned our wedding with amazing detail. My bride was relaxed and comfortable knowing that Christi was taking care of everything for our wedding day. She is extremely flexible and organized. She thought of things that we would have never thought of! I wasn't sure why we needed a wedding planner, turns out we did and I am so glad we picked her. Because of Christi our wedding day was perfect.
