Christina Baxter Destination Weddings

Fantastic experience: Planning a Destination wedding can be daunting, but we found the absolute best planner in Christina Baxter. She made our daughter and son-in-law’s dreams come true with a magical wedding weekend in Charleston, SC. Every detail from Friday night Shabbat dinner to Sunday night’s wedding and reception at a historic home by the water were all expertly planned and executed by the team of excellent vendors that Christina curated. Her long-time experience, communication, organization, artistic vision, and amazing support were huge assets to me as mother of the bride. Traveling from all over the country, our family and every guest felt special and cared for and say this was the best wedding they ever attended. I would choose Christina and her amazing team again and again and again! - Wendy Rotter, Memphis, TN

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were married in Charleston a few weeks ago, and Christina and Mia were our planners. Being a destination wedding, we were nervous regarding planning from afar. However, these two held us up every step of the way and were so meticulous with every detail. Any problem that arose was quickly resolved, regardless of how big or small. More than that, our wedding was the most magical experience--from the flowers, to the tent, to the flow of the weekend. We have gotten so many compliments saying that our wedding was the most beautiful any of our guests have been to (we agree). I truly cannot thank them enough for making our dream a reality! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!

Fantastic experience: Working with Christina and Mia was an absolute dream! From the very first consultation to the last dance at our wedding, they made every step of the planning process so easy and stress-free. What really set them apart was their personal touch—they took the time to understand our vision and made it come to life in the most beautiful way. They thought of every detail, big and small, ensuring nothing was overlooked. On the day of, everything went smoothly, and we were able to enjoy every moment knowing that Mia and Christina had everything under control. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, our wedding day was truly unforgettable. I can’t recommend them enough for anyone looking for a planner who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about making your day perfect. Thank you for making our dream wedding a reality!

Fantastic experience: Where do we even begin with Christina and Mia? They are truly beyond incredible. From the very first conversation, Christina blew us away with her vision and creativity—she somehow took the scattered ideas we had and turned them into a true fairy-tale wedding. Every single detail felt so thoughtful, personal, and perfectly us. Working with Christina and Mia was the most seamless and joyful experience. They completely took the stress out of planning and turned it into something fun and exciting. We honestly never once felt overwhelmed because they were always two steps ahead, thinking through every little detail and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. When we say they made the process stress-free, we really mean it—they handled everything with such grace and care that we could just enjoy the ride. Not only did they flawlessly plan the wedding itself, but they also orchestrated our entire wedding weekend—the rehearsal dinner, the welcome party, and the big day—so that everything flowed effortlessly. The execution was seamless from start to finish. Guests kept telling us how beautiful, organized, and smooth the whole weekend felt, and that’s all thanks to Christina and Mia working their magic behind the scenes. They guided us to the most amazing venue and vendors, came up with creative ideas we never would have thought of on our own, and always made sure that our personalities and story shone through in the details. On top of all that, they were incredibly responsive, patient, and genuinely kind. Every interaction with them felt warm and supportive—they truly became such a special part of our journey. Christina and Mia aren’t just wedding planners; they are wedding fairy godmothers. They sprinkle joy, creativity, and calm into every step of the process, and we feel so lucky to have had them by our side. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels magical, personal, and completely stress-free, Christina and Mia are the ones to make it happen. They gave us the wedding weekend of our dreams, and we will forever be grateful.

Fantastic experience: Working with Christina and Mia from Christina Baxter Weddings was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From our very first conversation, I felt completely at ease knowing I was in such thoughtful, capable hands. Their vision, attention to detail, and overall aesthetic were exactly what I hoped for—and they executed it all flawlessly. What really stood out, though, was how much they genuinely cared. Christina and Mia weren’t just focused on logistics (which they nailed); they also held space for the emotional parts of the journey. Our day was not just beautiful—it was meaningful in every way. I will forever be grateful to them for creating such a heartfelt and seamless experience. If you're looking for planners who lead with both creativity and heart, look no further than Christina Baxter Weddings. Thank you both again for everything!

Fantastic experience: We cannot say enough amazing things about Christina and her assistant, Mia! From the very beginning, they were an absolute dream to work with—organized, thoughtful, and truly passionate about making our wedding day perfect. They completely blew us away with their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to keep everything running flawlessly. Our wedding was more special than we could have ever imagined, and that is 100% because of them. Every moment felt effortless, every detail was handled with care, and we were able to enjoy our day stress-free, knowing we were in the best hands. They shattered our expectations in every way, going above and beyond to make sure everything was not just perfect but magical. But beyond being incredible planners, Christina and Mia became so much more to us. Their kindness, dedication, and warmth made them feel like family, and we know they will always have a special place in our hearts. They aren’t just our wedding planners—they are friends for life. If you're looking for a wedding planner, stop searching—Christina and Mia are the absolute best. We couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with such an important day, and we will forever be grateful for the love and dedication they poured into making our wedding unforgettable!

Fantastic experience: Working with Christina and Mia was hands down the best decision we made during the planning process. From our very first call, they brought such warmth, professionalism, and an eye for detail that immediately put me at ease. I had a very loose vision of what I wanted for our wedding, and Christina and Mia took that and brought it to life in a way I couldn't have even imagined! Every element—from vendor selection to a stress-free wedding day —was executed with precision and care. I had always heard that planning a wedding was a hectic and often stressful experience, however I didn't feel that at all. Christina and Mia made the planning process easy, exciting, and nothing short of positive. On the day of the wedding, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Everything ran smoothly, and we were able to be fully present and soak in every magical moment—something we’ll be forever grateful for! I highly recommend working with Christina and Mia to plan your dream wedding -- they're the best!

Fantastic experience: There was so much love, time, thought, and heart put into our wedding by so many people and it could not have all come together so magically without Christina Baxter Weddings. From our initial meetings to our big day, we always felt like we were in the best of hands and minds, and able to trust their judgement which alleviated much of the potential stress of the process. Their vender suggestions were all fantastic at their jobs and easy to work with. When we initially met to pick the design elements, we could never have expected it to come together so beautifully as it did. On the big week, they helped coordinate multiple teams setting up, handled last-minute cancellations, table changes, and clearly guided us through the details of the plans. This was an incredibly meaningful experience for us and their skills and expertise helped guide us and make the day as magical as possible.

Fantastic experience: I got married last month and am so thankful we were able to have Christina Baxter as our planner! Christina made planning a wedding simple, stress free, and fun! Christina was very responsive to my late night emails and I always felt like our wedding was their #1 priority and the only wedding they were planning. She only takes a limited number of weddings a year to be able to truly focus on the ones she is doing. You don’t realize how huge that is until you are one of your brides and need her on a Saturday. My mom and I have crazy schedules and Christina was always able to work around that to find times to meet. From our first phone call she stood out and was on top of everything throughout our engagement. Christina’s connections and years of experience in the wedding industry makes booking vendors easy. I cannot imagine our wedding day without Christina and her assistant Mia. Mia is a huge addition to Christina’s team and they compliment each other very well. They carried out our vision and kept us on schedule the entire year and a half of planning. Our entire wedding day was more than I could have imagined and it is in large part due to Christina and her team. No detail was left unnoticed! I truly was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day trusting that Christina and Mia had everything under control!

Fantastic experience: Now that we’ve had 3 months to settle into married life and reflect, we still cannot get over how PERFECT our wedding day was in large part due to the best Wedding planning duo. Christina and Mia curated the best vendor team that made every last detail flawless and the entire process completely stress free for us leading up to and on the big day. Even when a last minute forecast called for rain with an outdoor ceremony/dinner, Christina was able to quickly secure an upgraded tent and stunning chandeliers that made the setting even dreamier and moody than I could have imagined… all while ensuring we were calm and happy throughout. They truly made our vision and dream a reality that exceeded all expectations. I cannot recommend them enough!! [Photos: Allison Pedigo]

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about how wonderful Christina and Mia were to work with! Throughout the year, they brought me together with vendors that perfectly suited my taste, were very easy to get in touch with, and kept me at ease at every turn. The wedding weekend itself was SEAMLESS. On the day of, I was able to revel in the moment and enjoy myself because they had absolutely everything covered. In the months leading up, I had a vision for my wedding day, but I tried hard to stay open minded... in case things did not go exactly how I pictured. Well... it was EXACTLY what I saw in my mind and more!! It was an absolute dream! Everything was so beautiful, the day didn't feel rushed or hectic. I felt like I was able to live every single moment. It was incredible. I cannot thank them enough for what they were able to make happen for us. It was perfect!

Fantastic experience: I interviewed a number of wedding planners, but after Christina and I met (and she proactively and quickly followed up with an estimate) my choice was simple. I was convinced that Christina’s personality would mesh well with both my daughter (bride) and me (MOB), and her budgeting prowess/financial sensitivity would click with my husband (FOB). Working with Mia, CBWE’s senior event coordinator, was an added delight … "icing on the (wedding) cake." If asked to describe the CBWE team, I'd have to lead with incredibly talented, great communicators, highly efficient and organized, detail- and solutions-oriented, flexible, and continually focused on delivering excellence. Equally important, they’re a lot of fun! And, since my daughter is a PharmD, I'll throw in a drug reference: they’re wedding Xanax! Christina and Mia managed to keep the planning process, selections and ongoing execution as simple and stress-free as possible (for us at least) -- even when rain wedding day threatened to derail the bride and vibe. CBWE pivoted seamlessly when a tent was required and managed to "bougie it up" so that it looked intentional. They and their dedicated network of vendors are miracle workers. The CBWE team was amazing day of the wedding -- everything from checking on and hydrating the wedding party, making sure people were where they were supposed to be, keeping the bride dry, double-checking vendors and details, down to moving stray items into and straightening up the newlyweds’ suite before they retired. My daughter and I didn't really have a vision for the day, but the CBWE team managed to subtly (and when needed directly) guide us to an outstanding one. Everyone has told us (and continues to tell us) it was the most beautiful, over-the-top and fun wedding ever. My daughter and our new son had the wedding of their dreams, and I can't thank Christina and Mia enough!

Fantastic experience: Christina & Mia created the most perfect wedding weekend of my dreams. It was everything and more!!! From the flowers to the linens to the chairs to the overall feel of the day and night, every single thing was absolutely above and beyond what I had imagined and even hoped for. It was absolutely wonderful, and I'm so thankful to have had these two women turn my dreams to reality. Truly the best decision!!!!

Fantastic experience: Where do I even begin...they don't call Christina the "Fairy Godmother of Weddings" for no reason. My husband Gary and I just had our wedding last weekend on 5/27/2023 and it was simply the BEST DAY of our entire lives. Truly, this is all thanks to Christina and Mia. These two women made sure every single detail I dreamed about was incorporated into the wedding weekend. Christina is also extremely responsive but also provides such great advice and input. I deferred to her a lot throughout the process and trusted her to implement my vision, and she delivered impeccably. Another thing you should know is: if you hire Christina and her team, all your guests will be RAVING about your wedding. She will make it the best and smoothest experience for your guests and makes it a day that they will speak about for the rest of their lives. Gary and I are so grateful! We love you Christina and Mia!

Fantastic experience: Christina and her team were amazing. They took care of everything every step of the way. My daughter and I could not have been more pleased with her services and would HIGHLY recommend her and her team.

Fantastic experience: You have to make a LOT of decisions when planning your wedding. I promise the very BEST decision you will make is hiring Christina Baxter Weddings and Events as your planner. Everyone says your wedding will be the best day of your life. I was skeptical (didn't want it to be all downhill from here!), but hire Christina Baxter and Mia Riddell, and that will be your reality. They made May 6, 2023 the very best day of my life. If you are looking for a wedding planner in Charleston (or anywhere for that matter), look no further than these two. From my very first conversation with Christina, I felt comfortable. She makes every effort to get to know who you are as a couple first, and then the ideas flow from there. We had our wedding at South Carolina Society Hall and the reception in my parents' backyard, which came with a number of logistical challenges (including finding a bathroom trailer with EXACTLY the right dimensions so that it would not take out a number of my mom's crepe myrtle trees). Christina and Mia were able to navigate every challenge SO easily - and they helped us to feel calm throughout the entire planning process. They are great about working with YOUR vision and your budget ("if you really want the flooring, it'll cost ya, but we don't need this thing or that thing and can instead do something like THIS!"). One of the first things Christina and Mia will do for you once you hire them is assemble an all-star team of vendors - the florist who totally gets your vision, an incredible catering team (our guests are still talking about the meal), a hair and makeup duo that will create your ideal wedding look... Every vendor they recommended and locked down for us hit it out of the park. And it was so clear to us how much each of the vendors respected Christina for the work she does and the reputation she's built throughout the Southeast. On the day of the wedding, Christina and Mia seamlessly orchestrated every last detail - from remembering to get a quite nervous groom a Manhattan immediately after he finished the first dance to figuring out how to get a very hungry bride McDonald's late night... Christina and Mia took what were simply a few of our wants and ideas and turned them into this magical creation and weekend that we will remember for the rest of our lives. They are the very best planners we could've ever imagined working with, and not just because they are both incredibly skilled at what they do, but because they also became our good friends along the way. We already miss just talking with them every day. Christina and Mia, thank you both for EVERYTHING. We will forever be indebted to you for everything you did to make our wedding so wonderful. To anyone who is going back and forth between planners (or even wondering if you should hire one), hire these two. From one bride to another, it will be THE. BEST. decision you make... other than choosing your groom, of course :)

Fantastic experience: Christina and Mia are beyond anything we could have imagined. No detail was too small. No request to ridiculous (even when they were). They made our wedding feel so unbelievably special and we are so grateful for everything they did. They are communicative, kind, energetic and a fantastic team. We will forever be indebted towards this team for giving us the most incredible celebration…and remembering to get us late night McDonald’s :)

Fantastic experience: My husband and I had the most unique, stunning, and deeply personal wedding that was even more magical than we ever could have imagined! It all came together seamlessly because of Christina Baxter and her equally amazing assistant, Mia. I truly don’t know what we would have done without Christina throughout the entire planning process. While my family is local to Charleston, my now-husband and I live in Chicago, so first and foremost we needed a planner who could help us navigate the overwhelming vendor options from a distance. It was also extremely important to us that our planner would be able to tap into Charleston’s amazing creative community and culture. We knew we made the right choice with Christina when she almost immediately sent us a carefully curated list of vendors and helped us to secure our selections well in advance (something I would have never gotten around to if left to my own devices). She even reached out to one of Charleston’s most revered artists and obtained permission to use his work as visual inspiration for our decor! Anyone who is reading this on the WeddingWire has likely come across the roster of Charleston’s Instagram-famous planners, all of whom produce objectively beautiful events. However, most of them will tell you point-blank that their weddings have a specific aesthetic that you are committing to and paying for handsomely. What really differentiates Christina from the rest is that YOU are the brand. She goes above and beyond to give you a wedding that is unmistakably your own. She cares more about beautifully bringing your vision to life than what tones will go best with her website’s color scheme. Her ability to work with any style, mentality, or personality demonstrates the true expanse of her talent. Very few people in this world are blessed with both creative and organizational talent; Christina is certainly one of those rare exceptions. She and Mia were absolutely essential in making sure the best day of our lives just that, and we will be eternally grateful for their preparation, patience, inspiration, guidance, and support over the past year. TL;DR: If you want your wedding to truly reflect who you are as a couple, you absolutely need Christina!

Fantastic experience: BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. Where do I even begin? I booked with Christina back in 2020 and just got married last weekend. We had almost 2 years of planning together- and it was the absolute best!!! Christina is a true professional. She is everything and more that you could want in a planner. A lot of things separate Christina from other planners- one of her biggest to me being that she only takes a limited number of weddings per year to be able to give you her undivided attention and BOY did I feel that. Every email, text, or call was returned within a few minutes. She makes you feel like you are the ONLY bride she is working with.. she makes you feel like family. Her attention to detail, organizational skills, timeliness, professionalism, relationships with other vendors, kind heart, etc. make her the best of the best in this field. She made the entire wedding planning process fun and stress-free. Mia, her assistant, was incredible to work with too! This esteemed, dynamic duo could not be a better choice for you and your wedding day! I would choose them time and time again. They made all of my wedding dreams come true. If you're like me and have done tons of research trying to find the perfect planner.. look no further because she is RIGHT HERE.

Fantastic experience: Hiring Christina for our wedding was the most important and best decision we made! When we started working with her in June of 2020 we had no idea exactly how critical having an incredible planner like Christina could be. Right from the beginning she dove in coordinating the design and figuring out how to bring every idea we had (big and small) to life. Her recommendations for vendors and the artists she works with to bring your vision to life are true pros. From Hair and Makeup, to Catering, to Lighting and the Bridal Assistant (we didn’t know needed, but absolutely did) Christina brought together and incredible team! Like many couples planning a wedding in 2020 we had to postpone our original date. She helped us weigh the options and she seamlessly shifted our entire event to our new date. Her eye for design is impeccable and she truly listens to what you want as a couple. It is this attention to detail that makes every wedding she does unique and personal. As we drew closer to the wedding day, Christina introduced us to her assistant, Mia! Let me just say what an unbelievable team Christina and Mia are! They went above and beyond to make sure every request we had was met. From last minute floral changes to day of seating arrangement adjustments to sourcing hand painted oyster shells a few months out from the big day… they had everything under control and we felt so taken care of with them. Every question was answered and every moment of the timeline was poured over. Our wedding day was truly seamless and our guests could not stop talking about how perfect every moment was! I could go on forever about how amazing Christina and her team are but I will end with one of my favorite stories of Christina’s incredible skills… Christina knew that I was very invested in all of the details so when the wind wouldn’t cooperate with lighting the candles in our tented reception Christina made me aware of the situation. The tent itself was so beautiful I didn’t even miss having the candles lit, but then during dinner I looked around and every candle was lit! Out of nowhere…it was like magic! Just like Christina and her team… pure magic!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Mia made our wedding planning process seamless and as stress-free as it could have been. My family and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves the entire time because we knew every detail had been thought out and communicated. If something did go wrong during the wedding weekend, I did not know about it and still don't know about it and that is exactly how I wanted it. Even guests throughout the wedding, including many of my friends who have recently gotten married and had planners, were highly complimentary of how great they were. I highly recommend using Christina as your planner.

Fantastic experience: I have only the highest regard for Christina and her team. She is extremely organized which was so helpful as we navigated three date reschedulings due to Covid. She also has an incredible wealth of knowledge when it comes to vendors, and we felt confident that we were in good hands with not only Christina, but those she recommended. Probably what I appreciated the most, though, was her calm and no-nonsense nature, which helped keep emotions in check during what can be a very stressful time. Thank you Christina and team!

Fantastic experience: I truly cannot put into words what an amazing experience it was to have Christina as my wedding planner. She helped me turn my vision into a reality. No ask was too big and no idea was ever not thoroughly discussed. Her willingness to always hop on a call, answer an email or text even at the craziest of hours showed how much she cares about her brides. Having a wedding during the peak of the pandemic she planned and replanned my wedding multiple times over the course of 2 years. During this process she always made me feel at ease, it was never a question if she had my best interest in mind. Her ability to understand a brides vision and execute it with grace and such kindness is unmatched. Christina and her team made my entire wedding weekend flawless, I could not recommended her enough!

Fantastic experience: Christina and her team were so professional from start to finish, with a fun and personalized approach. I felt supported and guided throughout the process and comfortable enough to throw out any and all ideas I had knowing her team would lead me in the right direction! They were extremely calming, even amidst a pandemic when so much was unknown, I always felt like because I had them on my team that everything would work out. And it did!

Fantastic experience: Christina was the best decision we made in planning our Charleston wedding from Dallas. She transformed my ideas and visions into the most perfect day and we would not have survived the process without her. She was incredibly flexible in meeting with me in the limited times I was able to get to Charleston in-person and was always available for 3-way phone conversations with me and my mom. She brought such a sense of calmness and professionalism to wedding planning, despite the persistent COVID uncertainties. We also ended up having rain almost the entire day of our wedding, but Christina had prepared us for this (both emotionally and logistically) and the day remained absolutely seamless! We are endlessly grateful to Christina and her incredible team.

Fantastic experience: There are not enough words for me to describe how thankful I am that Christina was my wedding planner! From the beginning of our planning process Christina went above and beyond to make my dream wedding come true. She listened to all of my ideas and inspirations and gave great suggestions to execute the perfect wedding! Her communication was phenomenal, when we had any questions she was always an email or phone call away. She was on top of everything, and it made the last weeks leading up to my wedding more fun than stressful! On the day of our wedding she did a remarkable job of making the venue look absolutely beautiful. She captured the exact theme and feel that we were going for! She was absolute joy to work with and she went above and beyond my expectations. Choosing Christina to be my wedding planner was the best decision my husband and I ever made. I truly could not have made it through the day without her!

Fantastic experience: Christina Baxter is simply amazing! There are no words to adequately express how wonderful she and her team are. We loved her from the start and in particular, we loved that she has this incredible way of listening to what you as a couple want/need/desire and boy does she deliver! She has great taste and a seemingly endless drive to create your absolute perfect wedding. Obviously pandemic weddings can create challenges and she made every transition flawless as we had to change locations and design. I can honestly say, we never once worried about the outcome knowing we had Christina on our side. The day was everything and more than we could have ever imagined - thank you Christina!

Fantastic experience: If you read no further, you should know, Christina Baxter is a phenomenal wedding planner. She was planner, friend, therapist, accountant, and confidant. Our very first call with Christina she walked us through what we could expect our budget to be. Although over the 22 months of our engagement the budget fluctuated; even with changes we made due to COVID-19 we still ended within range of her original outlined budget for us. She helped negotiate fair pricing with several of our vendors while also making sure we were able to have all the things that we wanted. As an example, she worked with me to revise our wedding menu half a dozen times and she worked with my wife to revise our floral proposal about the same. My wife and I live in CA and Christina was accessible to us via email, phone, text, facetime. We soon found that there were very few times she was unreachable to us. Christina even made time for us on her birthday! Christina worked with us to find our band (which was the highlight of the night), photographer, florist, all our rentals. She walked us through our food selection and tastings. She helped us with our invitations and all sort so miscellaneous items we had to ship to Charleston, SC from CA. Christina specially has a keen eye for design. There is no doubt in my mind all the weddings she produces turn out beautifully. My wife and I both had surprises for each other the night of our wedding (drum line and flash mob), Christina helped orchestrate each of the surprises without any hiccups! Our wedding went off without a hitch! Each vendor executed perfectly, and Christina orchestrated all the moving pieces flawlessly. I would recommend Christina Baxter to anyone who is looking to have a consummate professional help them pull off the wedding of their dreams. 10/10!!

Fantastic experience: “I couldn’t be happier to recommend Christina Baxter Weddings and Events to a couple and their families. Like so many weddings planned for this past year, our daughter’s wedding was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic just 4 days before the scheduled March event in Charleston, SC. It was down to the wire and the vendors had been paid in full. There was no question about whether it was the right decision. Christina was nothing but empathetic despite nearly a year’s effort into planning a fantastic wedding weekend. She immediately contacted the vendors and with grace and professionalism, addressed all the contractual issues. Her communication with us during that time did not waiver. We are incredibly grateful to Christina for handling these awkward and unprecedented negotiations. As months passed, our couple decided that they did not want to wait a year or more to marry. I called Christina and she went into action to plan a micro wedding in VA near where the couple and the only living grandparent reside. I still do not know how she did it, but with her contacts in the D.C. - Washington area, Christina found a beautiful historic venue and top-notch florist, baker, string trio, A/V company, and photographer. On the day-of (June 23), Christina coordinated everything and everyone. It was a day and a wedding that the couple and all of us will always remember. We were relaxed and happy in Christina’s capable hands! Thank you, Christina, I cannot wait to start working with you on a party in Charleston!” Elaine S., Mother of the Bride

Fantastic experience: Christina Baxter and her team were SO lovely to work with!  I was instantly drawn to the elegance of pat weddings planned by the CB team and felt very confident choosing them to plan our wedding after talking with Christina over the phone for over an hour.  Her professionalism, timeliness, humor, style and extensive knowledge of the wedding world (especially in Charleston) clearly set her a part.  Throughout the planning process, many people would give us some "words of wisdom".  What we heard most was, "Something will go wrong on your wedding day.  Expect it and don't worry about it."  I'm ecstatic to say that the morning after our wedding, my husband and I replayed the entire wedding day from start to finish and came to the realization that not a single thing "went wrong" (at least not that we or our guests noticed)!!  I 100% attribute that to Christina and her team!  Our day was a dream thanks to the wedding planning team we had on our side making sure that every vision came to life.

Fantastic experience: Christina and team were amazing! My husband and I were planning from Atlanta and she was a great resource for us that was local to Charleston. Our wedding was exactly as we dreamed and I was 100 percent relaxed and confident going into my big day. I got to be in the moment the entire time and couldn’t ask for a better day.

Fantastic experience: Christina and her team are truly the best of the best. From day one, they helped us navigate the entire planning process from start to finish and did so with such sophistication and a professionalism that is unparalleled. I was really nervous about planning a destination wedding and not being able to be in person for a lot of the planning - Christina and Dana very quickly proved to me that I could breathe easy and they have it all under control. They have impeccable taste and our guests are still talking about how it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever been to. Now that it is over, I miss our planning phone calls :) Book Christina Baxter and team right away - you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: The fact that Christina has planned parties for my family for over 15 years is a testament to her impeccable taste, attention to detail, and incredible event planning skills. Apart from our long event history (including my Sweet 16!), I want to thank her and her team for their efforts in bringing the vision of my wedding to life in a way I never thought possible. A huge thank you to Christina and Dana for all of their hard work that resulted in a truly unforgettable day for not only our family and friends, but also me and my husband! Xx

Fantastic experience: Working with Christina and Dana was the best experience and the best decision I made when it came to my wedding. They went above and beyond and couldn't have made my day any more magical. They are the absolute best!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana were absolutely incredible. Thanks to their work, our wedding day was stress free and perfect. They thought of every detail and planned the day meticulously. They were always proactive in reaching out and sending follow ups to make sure we stayed on track. We were most impressed by how well they picked up on our personalities and how sincere they both were in truly caring for us throughout the process. It was clear from day one that they wanted us to have the best experience.

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana were excellent to work with! They were very responsive and accessible whenever I had questions. Planning a wedding from out of state could have been extremely stressful, but with their help, it was a wonderful experience. Christina truly listened to what I liked and brought my vision to life. Dana tracked every detail and even gave my new husband and I a ride to our after party after our boat exit returned us to our venue. Couldn't have done it without them!

Fantastic experience: Christina and her team at Cibi made our day stress free and beautiful. We choose Charleston as a destination wedding and were very worried about planning a wedding from Florida. Christina and Cibi made the whole process fun and painless. We could not ask for a better wedding planner, as she made our day beyond beautiful and special. BTW- it poured during our outdoor wedding. Like a hurricane- immediatley after the ceremony. I was in the bathroom changing my hair and dress. Word is that tables, glasses, flowers were flying and I never even knew it! Christina made sure that everything was back were it should be and that I was not stressed out about it. I only knew how bad the storm was, days later after seeing guests videos and thank god that was the case! Christina knows what she is doing!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana are amazing wedding planners and coordinators, no detail is too small or big for them to take care of. They not only listened, but heard everything my daughter and I wanted her wedding to be and made it all Happen!! It was a flawless celebration, one which most guests said was the best and most beautiful wedding they had ever attended. Christina and Dana were a pleasure to work with. No detail was too big or too small and their suggestions were spot on. I am forever grateful to them both for making my daughters' dreams come true! Carolyn

Fantastic experience: Perfect results. Nothing but praise for Christina and CiBi Events. Our wedding weekend and wedding turned out perfect, no detail overlooked. The year of planning leading up to the wedding was professional, patient, insightful, and captured our vision perfectly. Our schedules were very limited with work obligations. No problem for CiBi Events! As they were able to lead us through the decision making process on our timeline, making every deadline in the process. Their entire process is precise and eliminates any oversights on our part. Planning out our concepts, vendors, and implantation of these ideas were presented to us with concise options that made the decision process easy for us to finalize. Cristina's energy was my favorite. Her calming presence, professional demeanor, and meticulous planning set the tone for our wedding. Problems were resolved before they ever became an issue. There were ZERO issues on our wedding day, everything went flawlessly! I highly recommend Cibi Events, led by Christina for you big event.

Fantastic experience: From our first meeting, I admired the elegance and sophistication of Christina Baxter of CiBi Events. Christina works with every client to understand their personal style and incorporates that within the design. Prior to officially signing a contract, Christina even provided a budget for us at no cost. The other planners we met with would not provide this until after contract signing. Each wedding she coordinates and designs is unique and special. She asks the right questions to vendors so that you have a better understanding of their work and processes. We worked side by side with Christina and Dana (one of the hardest working people I know :) for over a year planning our big day. They always diligently responded to our every question or request. They listened to all our big ideas and offered suggestions to incorporate them appropriately within the overall design of our wedding. We were blown away on the day of our wedding to see all our hard work and vision pulled together so beautifully. Both Christina & Dana ensured that our families were well taken care of the day of the event - had food & drink, knew where to be when, etc. One of my bridesmaids requested Scotch Guard the day of the wedding, and Christina bought some just for her :) You can trust Christina & Dana of CiBi Events to design, coordinate, and plan the wedding you’ve always imagined. It will be better than your dreams.

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana with CiBi Events are ONE OF A KIND. When I tell you that they had EVERYTHING covered... AND I MEAN EVERYTHING, I truly believe these women are the best in the game! From day one, before we even booked, Christina was making sure that I found the perfect venue and time of year. You cannot put a price on the experience and knowledge surrounding venues and vendors that these ladies have! The ease my parents felt was priceless, as we all got to enjoy the engagement with these two in charge. Once the date was set and they were officially booked they kept up the unparalleled customer service. I was a destination bride, yet I felt as though I was in Charleston every time we had a planning phone call. CiBi thinks of EVERYTHING and FULL service is an understatement. Every aspect of wedding planning was perfect thanks to these two ladies. There is no way to fully express my gratitude to these ladies for making my day ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. They truly took the time to get to know my style and wishes--in one of our vendor meetings Christina could read my facial expressions and helped me to tactfully offer feedback to the vendor. Now as for the rehearsal and big day, there is no way I could describe with words how phenomenal these two operated. They are a well oiled machine and made me feel like the only bride they were working with. Not once did they make me feel like was second priority. I truly felt like I was their only client! They are very mindful of the budget (even when I was not). They truly did EVERYTHING in their power to make my day perfect and no detail was left unaddressed. If you trust these two with your special day you WILL NOT be disappointed. Christina and Dana are amazing and my day would not have been the same without them in charge! I am only sad that I feel like I could never thank them fully for everything they did, including the things behind the scenes. Booking with CiBi was the best decision I made during this process, hands down!

Fantastic experience: If you want your dream wedding then look no further than CiBi Events. I literally cried on the day of our wedding when I walked out and saw our dream had come to life in front of me. Christina and Dana are absolutely amazing! They are up front about pricing in regards to what you envision for your wedding and always quick to respond or set up meetings to get together… the number of times I called last minute to see if we could get together was numerous and they always made it happen. They are incredible at what they do and passionate about it as well. They made us feel as if we were the only wedding they were working on. You will get to know them on a professional level but also on a more personal level. My husband and I just moved to Isle of Palms and you better believe we are going to continue to grab drinks with both Christina and Dana. They are just genuinely wonderful people. I don’t know who said the wedding process is stressful but ours was totally stress free. Christina and Dana took care of everything. It was such a fun process. Every minute of our wedding was magical and they are prepared for anything that may go askew the day of your wedding (including the strap on my dress breaking). I could go on forever about how wonderful they are but truly if you want the best team in Charleston pick Cibi Events. They made our dream wedding come to life and we are so grateful for them. We love CiBi Events!!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana of Cibi Events helped create and execute my dream wedding vision to a T! My wedding day flowed seamlessly and CIBI did not miss a beat! They worked quietly behind the scenes all day and like magic everything happend as I had dreamt. From the planning, to the set up, to the actual wedding day, Christina and Dana worked so effectively and professionally and were so beyond caring and friendly to myself as the bride, my entire family, and all of my friends. I had the perfect wedding day, and it would have made all the difference if I had not had Cibi Events behind me and with me every step of the way. I will always love and respect these hardworking professionals, as the two women who delivered my dream wedding as promised and as my friends. If you hire Cibi, your dream wedding will come true! I love love love CIBI!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I recently had our daughter's destination wedding (we all live in NY) in Charleston. It was held at the Legare Waring House, and it was truly a magnificent event. That venue is a fairy tale setting. Naturally a destination wedding can be an arduous task, because we live so far away. Our daughter did her wedding planner research and found "Cibi Events". What a smart move that was. We worked very closely with Christina and Dana. Despite the long distance, we felt as if they were right next door. They are tireless and reliable and helped to make sure that we had all of our ducks in a row. Not to mention that they are both really nice people. And it was very comforting to have them by our side on the entire day of the wedding. With great confidence and pleasure, we would gladly recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding in Charleston.

Fantastic experience: As fall steadily steps into our lives, its beautiful colours paint smiles on everyday people lives! And as for the weddings, I like to think they get warmer, more stylish and imaginative, incorporating all this season of the year can offer. One of RIMAS FILMS first weddings on October took place in Virginia. Here the wedding planner for the day was Christina Baxter, CIBI Events. I already had brief conversations with Christina before and she seemed very well organized and most importantly very experienced wedding planner. And on the wedding day itself Christina was friendly and very helpful. Her organizational skills and efficient communication with other vendors helped to run the events of the day smoothly. I haven’t witnessed any problems, but I am certain, that even if there were any, Christina and her team handled them promptly and efficiently. It was a true pleasure to work with a professional person as Christina and RIMAS FILMS would like to highly recommend CIBI Events!

Fantastic experience: Attempting to plan a wedding, in and of itself, can be a difficult (and stressful) task. Attempting to plan a wedding on your own when you are, literally, nine-hundred miles away from the location you are having it only adds to the difficulty (and stress) of putting the day together. My (now) husband and I quickly learned this as we first attempted to plan our wedding in Charleston on our own from Connecticut. Looking back on the process, I have no doubt in my mind that, thanks to Christina CiBi Events, our wedding could not have been any better; even if we had it closer to where we live. Once we realized that we needed help to plan our wedding, we did some research about a couple of different wedding planners in the Charleston area. We planned on meeting with a couple of them to see exactly which one would fit with our personalities. Christina was the first wedding planner we met with; and we knew from the moment we left the meeting that we didn't need to meet with anyone else. From the earliest stages of planning, all the way up to the big day, Christina and Dana had complete control over the situation and made the process as smooth as possible. From tasks as large a picking a caterer, florist, photographer and band, to the smaller last minute on the fly issues, we never had a doubt that they were on top of things. The best example of their dedication to providing their clients with support, and delivering on that goal, came about a week before the wedding. Our wedding took place the Saturday after hurricane Matthew. Despite the chaos that the weather brought to the area, Christina and Dana were able to be reached the entire week, and checking to make sure that our wedding day would go exactly as planned. I could never thank them enough for the work they did to make our wedding such an amazing day, and would recommend them to anyone in an instant.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I live in Atlanta, but we decided to have our wedding in Charleston—that’s where we fell in love. We both have a busy work schedule and I’m not a great planner, so we knew the importance of having a wedding planner in order to make our dream of a beautiful southern wedding become a reality. We interviewed many wedding planners and after speaking with Christina at Cibi Events, we immediately knew that we wanted to work with her—she was easy going, poised, elegant, and most importantly understood our style and knew immediately how to make our vision become a reality. After working with Cibi Events, I strongly recommend Christina and her team. Throughout the planning process, Cibi Events was attentive, organized and resourceful. They alleviated any additional stress leading up to the wedding day by taking the reigns and making sure that everyone (family, guests, vendors, husband and I) was taken care of and on schedule. On my wedding day, I had absolutely no stress and knew that Cibi and her team would take care of everything and they did just that. Thanks to Cibi Events, my husband and I had the most magical and memorable wedding that we could have imagined.

Fantastic experience: Most brides know that planning a wedding can have its challenges - particularly when doing so from out of state. My now husband and I, both living in Chicago and planning our wedding in Charleston, had to rely heavily on internet reviews. So when it came to researching wedding planners, we selected an initial three with reviews and portfolios of work that particularly stood out to us. After a (THREE HOUR!) phone consultation with Cibi Events, we knew, hands down, we had found our planner. Throughout our 18-month long engagement, and several trips down to Charleston, Christina and Dana kept us reassured and SANE! They helped us select the vendors that worked best for our needs, and we were not disappointed with one. In addition to helping us bring our own vision to life, the unique ideas they incorporated were unforgettable, and truly helped make our day the dream that it was. The elegance these ladies embody, and bring to each event is unparalleled. Christina and Dana are simply the best in the business.

Fantastic experience: When my husband and I began planning our wedding, we had a chance meeting with Cibi Events while we were touring a potential venue; and Christina and her team were setting up for a wedding that afternoon. Though I was apprehensive at first to make the choice to spend the money to hire a wedding planner, it was easily the best choice that we made. Not only was Christina able to help us to keep organized and make great choices in terms of vendors, but she was also able to help find the best prices from some of our more expensive vendors, such as the florist and musicians. My husband lived in North Carolina and I lived in NYC for part of our planning....and Christina made it possible for us to plan the perfect wedding with some of the best vendors in the Charleston area, without spending a fortune on travel back and forth to North Carolina/NYC to meet with vendors in person. The setup, the timeline for our special day, and cleanup were all amazing. Our wedding day could not have been more perfect. Christina handled all the "day of" details as well and kept everything flowing and looking beautiful, which allowed us to truly take the time to enjoy the best day of our lives.

Fantastic experience: You would simply be foolish to try and plan a wedding in Charleston, SC without using Cibi (aka Christina and Dana). Not only is Cibi's taste impeccable, classy, and elegant, their knowledge of the local vendors service, pricing, and craftsmanship is second to none. Cibi's services are extremely reasonably priced for the amount of passion, dedication, planning, and follow-through you will receive. I cannot recommend Cibi highly enough. Christina has killer business instincts, the right connections locally, experience with brides (and grooms!) emotions, and an approach to make you feel like everything is under control - which it is when Cibi plans your wedding. Don't do it without them! Highlights: - incredible flowers and decor, a flowerwall like I have never seen -best food available catering in SC -managed every detail from napkins to sign-in book to cake to hotel rooms, everything -thoughtful recommendations catered to our style and taste - planned an entire weekend of events, not just the wedding

Fantastic experience: My mother and I met with Christina 8 months before the wedding day. This was after talking to two other wedding planners and feeling a little frustrated and overwhelmed with the whole wedding process. My family lives in the Maryland/ D.C. area, but I had recently moved to South Carolina and dreamed of a Charleston wedding. This was a challenge with the short time line and both my husband and I balancing our busy schedules in the medical profession. When we met Christina we instantly knew that she was the one. It sounds like a cliché, but her imagination, style, and down to earth nature had me sold. Through the whole process she made me feel more than just another bride and it was more than just another wedding. To me it felt like a close family friend helped me through the process. She connected with my imagination and painted it into a truly magical wedding. She knew exactly what vendors to use for my style and made sure everything went off without a hitch! I wanted a beautiful paper flower wall as a backdrop for our photobooth and thought that it was just a dream with my budget. To my surprise Christina offered to make one for me. Moments like that showed me I made the right decision. Christina will go out of her way to make dreams come true. Our guests have been raving about our wedding months after and I’ve had many people contact me about items used in the wedding. My parents love her and joke they wished they had a second child so Christina could plan another wedding. We love you Christina and would recommend Cibi Events 1,000 times over!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana at CiBi events are simply amazing! My husband and I couldn't have been more happy with the way our "wedding weekend" has turned out. We started planning about 10 months earlier, this was a long distance communication as we live in CT. We first spoke over the phone and bonded from the start. Christina understood our vision for a modern, cool and clubby wedding with the historic down town Charleston as a background. She is creative, personable and so professional. We relaxed and enjoyed our time with friends and family while CiBi made sure everything went off without a hitch. The whole experience was a full success and couldn't have happened without Christina and Dana at CiBi. We couldn't recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: 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 in Charleston, SC was the best day of our lives. While our friends and family helped us to make memories that will last a lifetime, Christina helped us to create an event that exceeded our highest expectations and 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 hectic work schedules and limited availability to discuss wedding plans. Christina worked with us (and around our schedule in a different time zone!) to plan an event that was elegant, fun, organized and memorable. She went above and beyond to help us to create a vision that reflected our unique personalities and then executed it effortlessly. Working with Christina and her team at CiBi events exceeded every expectation that we had.

Fantastic experience: Christina + Dana are a dream team! They are so on top of things and have a great eye for detail. They don't miss a beat! I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for the ultimate wedding planning experience!

Fantastic experience: There are no words to describe how grateful I am for the help of CIBI events! My husband and I live in CT, and had concerns about getting everything we wanted accomplished for our big day. With the help of Christina and Dana our worries and concerns faded away and we were able to relax and leave so many things in their hands. They listened to all of our questions & concerns and were always there to answer them. They made us feel like we were the only couple they were working with, though we know this was not the case. Chrisina's attention to detail and passion for what she does is so appreciated. I knew she had all the details for our big day under control and I could enjoy the time with all of our family in friends with ease. I cant say enough about the Cibi events team! They simply are the best!

Fantastic experience: Christina and Dana are a creative dream team and industry leaders. They have unparalleled attention to detail, a keen eye for design, and a true passion for what they do. A joy to work with! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: CiBi Events was such an essential part of our wedding planning process. As a NYC bride planning a Charleston wedding, we relied on CiBi Events to vet vendors, review business proposals, and liaise with our local contacts. At the end of the day, we trusted Christina and Dana to do a lot of the things we couldn't. These ladies were gracious and professional, and they truly went the extra mile to put together not just an amazing wedding, but an amazing wedding weekend for our guests. I am tremendously grateful for their support & I would happily recommend CiBi to any other bride planning a Charleston event.

Fantastic experience: Christina is amazing! We live in Maryland and our daughter decided to get married in Charleston. I thought it would be difficult planning a destination wedding but Christina took care of everything! On the wedding weekend we didn't have to think about anything. Christina and her amazing assistant Dana had everything and everybody where they needed to be. I could not believe how beautiful the venue looked! The wedding and reception could not have been any better. It was an amazing weekend that we will never forget! I highly recommend CiBi Events!!! Tammy & Dave

Fantastic experience: Christina planned my wedding in Aug 2014 and created a magical event for me and my husband. She has an energetic and creative spirit, with tremendous problem-solving and project-management skills. She was attentive to all our ideas and wishes and captured them in fresh and unique ways. She managed the details, big and small, and was always available to sort through unexpected challenges. The day of the wedding she was well-organized; she kept everything moving and fun! The result was a beautiful, elegant, and meaningful event and that felt uniquely ours, but also exceeded our expectations.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CiBi events. The wife and I planned Charleston wedding from Chicago. The complexity of our event was as follows: we had never visited Charleston prior to our decision to marry there; the event would be a 3 day affair with 4 events Fri-Sun; we wanted each venue to distinct and all were quite different; our guest list topped over 220 guests. Planning an event of this magnitude from long distance was quite daunting but Christina, Dana and the entire CiBi team were excellent in every step of the process. No small details went past CiBi. I am a bit of a grammar perfectionist, on one of our many conference calls with them, Christina pointed out a small grammar mistake on our wedding website (luckily before the website was public). After pointing out such a small detail, I knew my wife and I were in good hands and had made the right decision about choosing our planner. The morning after our wedding my wife and I were flying off to our honeymoon and I asked her was there anything that you would complain about or found less than satisfactory. Both of us thought for about 5-10 minutes and had zero complaints. That is saying a lot because my wife and I are finicky and can normally come up with at least some small critique. We felt truly blessed to have had such wonderful weekend of events with zero complaints. CiBi is full service. Prior to our wedding, the CiBi team scouted out venues in advance, drove my wife and I to over 20 different sites for us to view, designed decoration/layouts, coordinated with all of our vendors and most important, kept very detailed spreadsheets of all costs - we had no surprise expenses. The weekend of our event, I felt we had 100% of the entire CiBi team's time and effort. The one sad part, after spending so much time with their team for the 7 months leading up to the wedding, we will miss them because I felt they had become a part of our family.

Fantastic experience: I am a makeup artist here in Charleston and work with Christina a lot. I have to say that in my opinion she is at the top of the best wedding planners here in Charleston!! She is extremely professional, attentive and such a fun spirit to be around! Always in a great mood and very easy to talk to. All of her weddings I had been hired for as a makeup artist were a breeze - Christina takes care of every single detail. I can only imagine how much fun it is to plan a wedding with her! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: The best wedding planner in the business! My parents, my now-husband and I truly enjoyed working with Christina to create the most beautiful wedding. She is so creative, kind, hard-working, efficient and always available. She was very flexible and willing to do as much or as little as I wanted which was great since I have a full-time job of my own! Our wedding was perfect and we had many guests tell us that it was "the best wedding that they had ever been to". I highly recommend CiBi Events!!

Fantastic experience: I just left a review on EventWire, but wanted to add it here as well ... Where to start?! Our wedding was last week, but it seems the planning for it lasted months and included hundreds of small details. Our venue (The Citadel Beach House) required a wedding planner present and thank goodness they did because Christina Baxter was a life-saver. She was available weeks before the wedding via e-mail, skype, and last minute visits to Charleston (this was a destination wedding). Through our correspondence she was genuine, imaginative and extremely professional. The day before the wedding she helped us with our rehearsal and planning for our big day (ceremony timing, itinerary, decorations, etc.). On the day of she had the entire event on cue to the minute and allowed us to truly enjoy our big day. We can't thank her enough! If you are in search of a wedding planner look no further as Christina is the real deal and will take care of you. Even if you are on the fence about getting a wedding planner, as I know we were originally, let me tell you that it was the best investment we made as her experience and demeanor allowed the entire family to let their hair down and truly enjoy the party.

Fantastic experience: Christina of CiBi Events is the most creative, organized and experienced wedding and events planner by far! I highly recommend CiBI for your next event or wedding!

Fantastic experience: Take charge, meticulous, organized, understanding, caring, dynamic, swift, creative and bubbly are all characteristics that come to mind when describing our experience working with Christina Baxter with CiBi Events. At the time, I was working in Afghanistan and I knew there was no way to pull our July 4th wedding off without someone I could trust to execute and run with our ideas. The same day I contacted Christina, she responded, we set-up a time to discuss details later that day (she took into account our 8 hour time difference), our initial conversation resulted in a to-do list for me all before discussing her rate. From this point forward, I knew she was vested in our day and that she would be our planner. She communicated throughout the entire process, making sure my husband and I were kept in the loop, and most importantly ensuring all the vendors were on the same page which resulted in the most memorable day of not only our lives but also of our family and friends. She left no detail unturned and because of her involvement, my husband and I were stress-free the day before, the day-of and the days after. One of my favorite memories the day of was when she stopped by the salon the morning of and spent time with the girls and me . . . lots of laughter is all I can say. She made sure that the little ideas I had such as my photo wall of Polaroid’s and laying on the grass and watching the fireworks happened and not only did they happen but they happened with uniqueness, class and personality. I could write so much more because Christina’s genuine efforts gave us so many mem’ries to cherish for a lifetime, so in short, I will just say thank you to the best collaborative planner ever. Thank you, Thank You, Thank You!!!!
