Christine, with CM Event Design, put together our very unique idea of a wedding / elopement party. She turned an older, cobwebbed (but nice in its own way) skating rink into an elegant venue! It was better than I could have ever imagined. She handled all of the issues with the vendors and other things to ensure everything was perfect and stress free on our special day. We were able to enjoy our day with our family all the while not worrying about catering issues, decorating or clean-up. My husband was against hiring a wedding planner, now he insists on hiring Christine for any and all events and even having an anniversary party next year. Looking forward to more events with CM Event Design.

My wife and I held our wedding reception at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge, MA. During the research process we met with scores of wedding planners and various event managers. While the Royal Sonesta has a nice facility, the one area that truly sold is on hosting our special day there was Christine.

Christine has an uncanny ability to build rapport and establish relationships with people instantly. During our tour of the facility it seemed as though we knew Christine for years. Christine exhibited a great personality as she made the whole experience fun and informative. After Christine's presentation we knew instantly that we had to host our wedding there.

During the wedding planning process Christine was everything you could ask for. She was incredibly organized, always checking in to see if we needed assistance with photographers, florists, DJ’s and invitations. Her constant communication reassured us that we were not forgetting about the little things that can be often overlooked. In addition, Christine was extremely detail oriented. She provided ideas to my wife about things ranging from how the tables should be set up, the best lighting at various times of the night, how our appetizers and displays should be organized to ensure our guests would not feel crowded during the cocktail hour and how we could maximize the most space for the dance floor to ensure all of our guests could party. Most importantly and dear to us, Christine often checked in with us to see how we were doing and what she could do to relieve some of the wedding planning stress.

For future events we will definitely be seeking Christine's professional advice. Scores of other planners and event managers that we met prior to Christine were often stuffy, had no personality and seemed like their presentation was scripted word for word. Christine made the whole wedding planning process, which can often be tense at times, extremely fun. In working with Christine we always felt like we could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Christine always manages to have a smile on her face. She manages expectations exceptionally well and always went out of her way to ensure that we were happy and taken care of.

Christine is truly one of the best in the business.

Working with Christine is always a pleasure. She is extremely detailed oriented and concise of all aspects of the events we work with her. Everything from corporate to social events goes as smoothly as we hope for.

We would absolutely recommend her services. Looking forward to working with her again and again…

I had my oldest son’s Bar Mitzvah at the Hilton Garden Inn and first let me say that this hotel is spectacular. Thanks to Christine and her staff it was an amazing night! Christine helped me every step of the way. Since this was the first time I've ever planned a party like this, I felt like I had a million questions and Christine answered every one of them with the utmost professionalism. All of my dreams for this special night were by far exceeded. The staff treated every member of my family like they were their own. There is something to be said for the overall level of service that you just don't find anymore.
