Sitting here still daydreaming about Deijah and Myronn’s day.

You’ll have to excuse my Nikes! When you do 6 miles to produce an event cute goes out the window. 🙃

Rasheedah and I dreamed up the most beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception with all the Italian feels. However, the weather had its own plans and at the 11th hour we had to make the call to move it all inside. I can’t stress how important vendor selection is in the wedding planning process. All of our vendors were amazing and willing to make the last minute changes. Check out the aisle decor that was initially meant for a 50ft outdoor walkway!

Patrick wanted a wedding that would incorporate colors that represented royalty but wasn’t overdone. Nicole leaned more towards all things clean and classic.

We gave them both! In planning, just as in marriage it’s all about compromise and blending.

Alexandra and Christopher
They were my very last “COVID couple”, while Covid isn’t exactly what pushed us into 2023 just know that love prevailed! 💕❤️🩷

In a full circle moment, this picture captures two of my past grooms along with my husband all in business together!

I absolutely love it and it all started with a chance introduction that didn’t even involve me.
and I see a triple date in our futures 😍

Happy 1 year anniversary to Maryann and TJ!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Hue I Do Podcast • Marriage, Weddings, & Life podcast with Ashley and fellow wedding planner Niq Williams Event Management LLC

Take a listen, our conversation starts at 17 minutes and we talk all about Glam Weddings, Luxury Weddings and hit some educational points for current and future brides.

‎Show Hue I Do • For Brides & Wives, Ep 143. The Glam Wedding Aesthetic with Christie ”Niq” Williams and Christy Record - Mar 22, 2023

Hey hey 👋! It’s Christy and instead of an annual reintroduction I figured I’d use this new fancy pin feature and keep myself always present and in your mind at the top of my Instagram page! 😆

A few things about me you should know.

1. What you see is what you get. I’m honest and want the very best outcome for your event /wedding so I’m okay with giving you real and genuine feedback on the decisions I’m helping you make.

2. It’s not fluff, I really do love marriage and even if it’s from afar I’m rooting for you to succeed and here if you EVER need to chat, I’ve been married for 13 years so I have a little insight.

3. Throughout the process we will develop a work bff relationship (if you are open and allow), I spend the first 10 minutes in most my meetings catching up chatting about dogs, my kids, your birthday plans and whatever else you’ve shared with me about your life.

4. I like to eat, so if our time (a full day of planning) doesn’t already involve food I just might suggest a lunch meeting so we can chill, plan, talk and EAT 🤣.

Thank you Branch Girls! for the lovely valentines delivery. It’s my favorite bloom and fits perfectly in my home office. 😍 I love collaborating with you guys and you’re so talented and the snacks you keep don’t hurt either 🤣.

Classic with a touch of color, I’m a sucker for clean lines.

If we not celebrating 🥳, I don’t want it. Sharing in your joy is part of my own.

Because by the time you say “I do”, it feels more like “we do”.

I’m always in the corner celebrating 🥳 right along with you!

We love 💕 our clients and the feedback they provide.

Christy is an extraordinary planner who genuinely cares about her clients. She is friendly, passionate and truly executed our vision. Her experience, knowledge, and relationships with vendors are unmatched! There were times when my mom and I couldn’t find the words to express our ideas or what we wanted, but Christy understood our vision and helped create the most beautiful and perfect unforgettable day!
