The best decision that we made on our way to the altar was choosing Christina Baxter of CiBi Events as our wedding coordinator. Our wedding day on 5/31/13 in Charleston, SC was truly the most enjoyable & memorable day of our lives. Christina worked with us to plan an event that was elegant, exquisitely produced and within our budget. With Christina’s expert advice, we were able to create an event that exceeded our highest expectations & that our guests have told us they will remember for a lifetime.

Planning a destination wedding from Chicago had the potential to be chaotic and stressful, especially given our limited availability to discuss wedding plans & the pressure that we felt to make it 'worth the trip' for all of our guests. Having only spoken with Christina over the phone before choosing her as our planner, we admittedly said on numerous occasions that we were putting a lot of faith in someone that we didn’t know. We figured it could all go one of two ways: terribly or very well. What we didn’t consider was the third option: perfectly.

Christina worked with us to create a wedding that truly reflected our unique personalities. From designing the reception layout to negotiating with the all of the vendors, Christina was able to create a custom experience while keeping us within our budget. Most importantly, Christina proactively handled unexpected roadblocks without adding undue stress for the bride & groom.

While Christina can provide you with an all-encompassing list of items that her planning services will include, her most valuable and priceless attributes are those not listed. She will calm your nerves & your parents’ nerves with her organization and professionalism & she will be the last one there at the end of the night making sure that everything is taken care of after the party is over.

Simply put, CiBi Events adds value every step of the way. Since our wedding day we have remarked over & over that we struck gold the day we met Christina.
