We hired Christa for our day-of coordinator and she was incredible. Our wedding was low key (City Hall ceremony, reception at a restaurant's dining room). I debated whether we even needed a coordinator and was so glad we chose one, and that we chose Christa. Christa went above and beyond, checking in before the event to answer questions, check planning progress, and help with the timeline. The day of: - she helped guide guests to seats - she organized the processional so everyone knew when to walk and with who - she made sure my train was beautiful in all my photos - she set up our reception so beautifully and all from written instructions - she was there for any little thing, and was so calm and organized It was such a pleasure working with Christa. I always felt I was well taken care of and that I could trust her 100%! I would highly highly recommend Christa for any event planning needs

We unfortunately had to part ways with Magnetic Magnificent Events and find a new wedding planner one month before our wedding. After a series of unprofessionalism, and lack of communication or detail we felt it was best to forgo the deposit we gave Christa and hire a new planner. Our experience was definitely not industry standard as there was constant occurrences of tardiness, including cancelling on our hotel walk-through 3 hours before. Failure to meet deadlines, reply to emails, or provide details into progress or our questions. After sharing our experience to our vendors and contacts in the industry we confirmed this isnt how it should be and made it easy to let her go and find someone we could trust. As we wish her the best, ultimately I would not recommend Christas services to anyone. However in the end, it was a blessing in disguise as we found another planner who was easy to work with and helped execute our dream wedding.

We hired Christa for our DIY wedding, and she was invaluable! She was with us every step of the way and was so quick to respond to our messages. On the day of, she kept everything moving smoothly. I don't know how someone can be everywhere at once and still in the background, but Christa did it! 10/10, I recommend her to everyone.

Christa was very professional on our first phone call with her, prompting us to choose her to be our wedding coordinator. She was great at making us feel at ease and as if she had our best interests at heart with one of the most stressful and important events of our lives. On our walkthrough, she was constantly checking her phone. She even hopped in her car without us being able to ask her any questions after our caterers left the walkthrough with us. A couple months went by and we did not receive much direction or help from her - especially the debrief of the walkthrough and what our next steps were. We just sort of sent her vendors. She was able to reach out for quotes from various vendors she knew after multiple inquiries for her to do so, however there was absolutely no liaison with our vendors that we had found: videographer, photographer, caterer, DJ, restroom rental until the week of the event. In fact, there were moments of radio silence while she coordinated a big wig event the week prior to our wedding. It just made us feel very stressed out that there was no sense of that mother-hen attitude. We had done every single piece of work ourselves - even coordinating with the caterers endlessly. We hired every vendor ourselves (minus the bathroom) after receiving some outrageous quotes on DJ and lighting services from her guy. Our videographer also had to cancel last minute and I handled the whole replacement myself 4 days before the wedding. And then the morning 24 hours before our wedding she said that the colleague she was working the big wig event with had Covid and she may have it too because she had a sore throat. I understand that this may have been out of her control but she couldnt even have the decency of telling us over a phone call - she texted us! And then said not to worry - thinking she would be there that evening as planned to run through what she needed to set up prepared table arrangements etc the day of the event as well as the walkthrough. Nope - she called in some guy who seemed nervous and uncomfortable himself. I was Even trying to talk to him about some decor that needed water to be filled for the floating candles and other decor to work, but he just walked right past me - my Bridesmaids (5) were shocked. Luckily she was able to call in another young woman named Dawn - who somehow pulled off saving the day except for the fact that the water decor was never taken care of. I hope Christa paid Dawn the entire allowance of money that we gave her. So what did Christa do? She sent us a welcome packet and gave us 2 phone calls. Listen - our wedding was perfect - but we did it all ourselves with the help of Dawn and our DJ. We created the whole timeline and did all of the coordination ourselves. Dawn followed directions well and made us feel at ease, however there was quite a bit of confusion about our band - due to the fact that she wasnt able to be at the walkthrough before - some info didnt carry over and we felt that Christa did nothing to make us feel at ease or like we would be taken care of and what exactly was being communicated to the replacement. Luckily our friends are amazing and really helped out with set up, carrying chairs, and alcohol - things that we thought were a part of the service as communicated in the initial walkthrough. Good luck!
