From the Bride & Groom 🤍

“Hiring Christine to be our planner was the best decision we made for our wedding! Throughout the whole process she was there to answer questions, guide us in the right direction, and bring us back down to earth when we were feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Her calm demeanor was comforting throughout the process and on the wedding day. She is also so fun and personable!! The design she created for our wedding perfectly combined all my random Pinterest boards into a beautiful and cohesive look. She got to know us and shared ideas to help make our wedding feel personal and special, which we loved. She also helped us find vendors that fit our needs and budget, which was hugely helpful considering how many wonderful vendors there are to choose from! On the day of our wedding, Christine and her team were there to ensure everything ran smoothly. They worked with vendors and the venue team to set up decor and assist with any of their needs, answered questions from guests and vendors, and dealt with any problems that arose. If something went wrong on our wedding day, we didn’t know about it because Christine and her team took care of everything. They are professional, kind, personable, diligent, and extremely knowledgeable on how to ensure your wedding day is perfect. Thank you Christine and team!!!!! We are forever grateful for everything you and the team did to make our big day one we’ll never forget.”

“Christine and her team made the whole wedding planning process a dream. Christine made sure to talk with my fiancé and I about our vision and what special features we wanted. With my family being out of state, I relied heavily on Christine for the full planning process. She was able to find us vendors like our photographer, band, florist, and rentals who matched our personalities and wedding vision. Most people say wedding planning is so stressful and Christine made the whole process feel easy. Everything she curated and showed us matched exactly what we were thinking and some was even beyond what we could have imagined. On the day of our wedding, Christine and her team were there to handle everything. I truly could enjoy the moment and not worry about how things would get set up. While Christine was making sure the room was set to perfection, Elexa was with me the whole time taking care of anything I needed. All the behind the scenes videos and photos she took were so special. The entire night was amazing and stress free because of Christine and her team. The best decision we did was hire Christine McFarlane Events

“Christine and team made our dream night come true!! She executed our vision and really brought out details that represented the both of us. During the process, she was kind, patient and extremely organized. Christine does not miss a beat! The vendors who she partners with also are AMAZING and kind which is a testament to Christine and her character. She was also mindful of our budget throughout and identified creative ways to stretch our budget while keeping things elegant and timeless. I would highly recommend the CME team!”

Pretty pretty paper goods 🤍 Details matter, especially when layered together. A silk bow, fine art jacket, vintage postage, custom line drawing, and soft to the touch paper takes this gorgeous invitation suite to the luxe level!

“Christine and her team are nothing short of amazing. We found out about Christine through a friend and we are so grateful that we did. From our first meeting with her, we knew we were in great hands. Her attention to detail and eye for design are unmatched. We felt like she really understood our vision and everything about our day went so smoothly. Throughout the planning process things felt easy because Christine kept us on track, made sure we met deadlines, answered all of our questions, and addressed any concerns that we had. When the day finally came, my husband and I were completely at ease. If there were any hiccups, we had no idea because everything was handled by Christine and her team calmly and quickly. To say that we were impressed is an understatement. We cannot recommend Christine McFarlane Events enough!!”

Claire & Travis’ Annapolis wedding day is in the newest issue of ! This day was full of intentional details for guests to explore and enjoy: instead of table numbers they shared a different memory from their relationship at each guest table, guests found various “fun fact” cocktail napkins at the different bars, their signature drink was served through a custom monogram ice luge, fresh mozzarella at cocktail hour, forget a champagne toast- they opted for a limoncello toast to kick off the night!

From the Bride & Groom 🤍

“Christine McFarlane is an exceptional event planner who is kind, professional, communicative, and has an exquisite eye for design.
I first found Christine on social media and after our initial phone call I knew I wanted to work with her to plan my wedding. From day one she listened to not only the look we wanted to have for our wedding but also the feel and how we wanted our guests to experience the weekend. After discussing preliminary design ideas, Christine developed an entire vision board using Canva to highlight every aspect of our wedding from the save the dates and invitation suite to the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and after party. This is one of two areas where Christine really shines - design. She has a knack for pattern matching, incorporating details special to the couple, building color palettes and design themes as threads throughout the entire wedding, all while sticking to the budget. Additionally, Christine recommended amazing vendors to join our vendor team and she traveled with us to site visits, showrooms, and tastings as we planned the wedding. She answered communications in a timely manner and she genuinely cared about both our wedding and us every step of the way, she is an extraordinary professional. This is the other area where Christine really shines - professionalism. It rained on our wedding day, less than an hour before our outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin, Christine handled it alongside our venue coordinator with ease and I didn’t even have to be involved. She handled all of our vendors seamlessly in the weeks leading up to the wedding and during the wedding weekend. She and her team executed our wedding superbly, allowing my now-husband and me to enjoy our wedding as the guests of honor, not the hosts.
I can’t imagine having planned or executed our wedding without Christine, if you have the opportunity to work with her, don’t miss it!”
