Champagne Magnolias Events

m, organized, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. On the wedding day itself, Krista was an absolute lifesaver. She handled every detail — vendor coordination, timeline management, last-minute hiccups — so smoothly that we didn't have to think about a single thing. We got to be fully present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. She has a wonderful ability to stay one step ahead, anticipating needs before anyone even realized there was an issue. Her communication was clear and reassuring throughout the entire process, and her positive energy kept everyone calm and confident. If you're on the fence about hiring a day-of coordinator, do it — and if you're lucky enough to book Krista, you're in the best possible hands. Our wedding day was seamless, joyful, and truly magical, and so much of that is thanks to her hard work and expertise. Thank you for everything, Krista (and Emily) — we're so grateful!

my sanity in check throughout the planning process and on the wedding day. I chose the Wedding Day Management package, and Ally was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She took the time to listen to each and every one of my questions and I always valued her expertise, guidance, and quick responses. Having Ally on vendor calls and included on all emails gave me such peace of mind and I always felt like someone had my back. She was incredibly organized and created a detailed timeline that kept everyone on track. When we got to the wedding day, I was SO thankful to have her there. The moment she arrived, I immediately felt a sense of calm. We truly had the most stress-free wedding day, and owe a huge part of that to Ally! Seana, Ally’s assistant, was also wonderful. She was sweet, kind, and organized. They were always one step ahead and worked behind the scenes to make sure everything was in place and running smoothly. It truly was a perfect day. Several of my other vendors complimented how great the Champagne Magnolias team was. We were all thankful to have Ally running the show. My friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how amazing she was – kind, fun, professional, and somehow able to keep everyone in line at the same time. I feel SO lucky to have worked with the Champagne Magnolias team on my wedding day. All I can say is this: Hire. Them. <3

was how quickly Krista would transform that anxiety into genuine confidence. From our very first consultation, Krista demonstrated a rare ability to listen — not just to what we said, but to what we meant. When my daughter and her fiancé described the atmosphere they envisioned, Krista translated that vision into a tangible aesthetic, guiding us toward décor choices and spatial arrangements that felt entirely intentional. The result was a room that didn't simply look beautiful; it felt like them. We received so many compliments about how beautiful the room was from our guests, including one who is an interior designer. Perhaps what impressed me most was Krista's command of the practical. Wedding budgets have a way of quietly and quickly unraveling, and she was unwavering in her commitment to keeping ours intact. She came to every conversation armed with vendor options at multiple price points, never once making us feel that working within our means required compromising on quality. The vendors she recommended were professional, communicative, and — critically — delivered exactly what was promised. And when the inevitable hiccups arose (because they always do), Krista handled them with calm efficiency, keeping the day moving seamlessly. There was not a single moment where I felt left to navigate a problem alone. For example, the specialty linens shipped were lost in the mail. Krista tracked them, knew they were lost, and worked with the vendor to have new ones delivered the morning of the wedding. All without troubling us until after the problem was resolved. For any parent stepping into the organized chaos of wedding planning, I cannot recommend Krista highly enough. She didn't just plan a wedding — she protected the joy of the entire experience. And her steady work to make the day special allowed us as parents and family members to enjoy the wedding as much as the guests.

h Krista, we did not even need to think twice about booking Champagne Magnolias. We were within 3 months and made a somewhat last minute decision to book a wedding planner, and Krista worked with us to make a plan that would work best for us. She forced us (gracefully) to work on the things were procrastinating or having decision fatigue on and we went into every vendor meeting feeling completely prepared. Our only regret was not booking Champagne Magnolias sooner to help with the vendor process!  Ally also joined us for every single vendor meeting and answered any questions no matter how big or small. If there was something I wasn't sure of, I was confident that Ally would be prepared to help or think of the little details that would have never crossed our minds. Knowing that the communication between our several vendors was being handled, was such a huge relief.  On the day of wedding, having spoken with Ally so many times it felt like just another bridesmaid/friend that was with us on the whole day. I never even had to think of the getting ready/photos/timelines/ once because Ally was there to wrangle everything and everyone. Most notable, during our wedding, Todd's feet were hurting and Ally (even though we told her NOT to) ran back to our hotel two blocks away to bring him another pair of shoes. We couldn't believe it!  When I think back on our wedding now two months later, if anything at all went wrong we had no idea because I'm confident Ally dealt with it. If you are on the fence about booking Champagne Magnolias, I can promise you ten toes down that you will not regret it. 

professionalism, and we truly loved every second of working with her! When I asked if she would travel to Texas for our wedding, she immediately said absolutely and jumped right in without hesitation. She took care of everything so I never had to worry about communicating with vendors or setting anything up myself. I also have to brag on Ally! She is not only an incredible planner, but also such an amazing person. She made sure not only I, but our entire bridal party, was taken care of on wedding day. She is kind, patient, organized, and truly exceptional at what she does. On wedding day, Krista and Ally made everything run so smoothly. All my husband and I had to worry about was having fun and getting ready with our favorite people. I know for a fact our wedding would not have been nearly as stress-free if they hadn’t been in charge. This duo will truly do anything in their power to make your day the best day ever! I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with Krista and her team. I wish I could get married every year just so I could work with them again and again. Working with them was truly an honor, and I will recommend them over and over forever!

r team were on top of everything. They were organized, responsive, and completely “on” it at all times. They do not just help, they run the show in the best way possible, and you feel so seen and taken care of the entire time. I recommend her to literally every person I know who is planning a wedding because she is THAT good. Krista and her team are beyond professional, insanely organized, and just get things done. The level of peace of mind they give you on your wedding day is unmatched. You do not worry about a single thing or lift a finger… they handle it all flawlessly, and it is honestly so impressive. Hiring her was hands down the best decisions we made during the wedding process, if you are on the fence, don’t be. Just book her.

ere watching our wedding video on our first anniversary and we couldn’t help reminiscing on her and her team’s impact.  Krista worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life, and as an out-of-state (well, more like cross-country) couple, she truly went above and beyond. Krista handled so much behind the scenes, acting as a liaison for all of our vendors and keeping everything organized, on track, and stress-free. Knowing she was overseeing every detail gave us complete peace of mind throughout the planning process. And a ton of my closest friends were raving that I was truly the calmest and most “chill” bride that they’ve ever seen!  From the start, Krista felt like someone we could fully trust. She listened to our concerns, kept an extra eye on the things we worried about, and consistently advocated for us. She made sure everything in our contracts with both the vendors and venue was honored, and she was always in our corner and speaking up on our behalf. Even on wedding day, if you’re not a fan of something… Krista will take care of it on your behalf.  On our wedding day, her calm and preparedness truly stood out. The weather was a bit questionable and Krista stayed overnight at a hotel to ensure she was present. During the reception, I had a minor injury, and thanks to Krista’s quick thinking and well-stocked first aid kit, everything was handled smoothly and discreetly without our guests ever noticing. We’ve recommended Krista and her team to so many people since, including my maid of honor, who was equally thrilled with her experience. Krista is the ultimate girls’ girl, and I can’t speak highly enough of her or her wonderful team. Just be prepared, once your wedding is over, you may find yourself genuinely missing all your text exchanges and meetings with her & her team! 

rk with, handling details seamlessly, providing valuable vetted vendor recommendations, and offering unwavering support throughout the planning process (while making it fun). The wedding weekend went so smoothy and as the Bride, I felt like I had so much support during every step of the way (especially when I was anxious on Friday before all the festivities began). On the big day, the team's attention to detail, and ability to go above and beyond were such a blessing and took the stress out of the day for us, to be able to be present and just enjoy every moment. It was the most perfect day, we only wish we could do it all over again. We would highly recommend Krista and her team to any couple planning a wedding or special event. We miss them already!

our wedding. On the actual day, she was nothing short of amazing. If my husband or I needed anything, Megan was right there without hesitation. She fixed my dress, kept me calm, and handled every detail so seamlessly that we were able to fully enjoy our day. She deserves all the praise!! 100/10 recommend Megan to any couple looking for a coordinator who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond!

he absolute best decisions we made. Because she works so many weddings down the shore, she had a connection to nearly every vendor we hired, and also had great recommendations for vendors we had not booked yet. We booked Krista for her wedding day management package, but it felt like so much more than “day-of.” She was consistently present, prepared, and invested throughout the entire process. She joined us for our venue details meeting, came to meetings with our photographer, and was always ready with thoughtful insights. When a few vendors were slow or difficult to reach, Krista stepped right in and got us the answers we needed. Her team handled all confirmations and built out a flawless timeline that kept everything running smoothly. On the wedding day, her intuition was unmatched—despite the rain, she tracked the radar and gave us the confidence to take a chance on an outdoor ceremony. Somehow she found the perfect pocket of time, and we ended up with the beautiful ceremony we hoped for; she’s honestly even better than hiring an Etsy witch. Krista is the kind of planner who goes above and beyond. She’s funny, energetic, attentive, and incredibly good at what she does. Hire Krista for your wedding and you won’t regret it. We can’t imagine our day without her.

for the final venue walk through and meeting with the florist. When my dad passed away just 3 weeks before the wedding, she stepped in to handle vendor communication so I could take some time off. Once we decided to move forward with the wedding, she made sure everything got back on track and gave me so much peace of mind. On the wedding day, Emily and Ally were incredible. It rained on and off, but they handled every detail with ease and kept the day running seamlessly. When my bustle broke, Emily was a rockstar and had it fixed in minutes. Because of them, we got to fully enjoy the day without stress. Ally set up all the decor and personal details I had beautifully! Hiring Champagne Magnolias was one of the best decisions we made — they were fun, caring, professional, and truly went above and beyond. I could honestly cry expressing my gratitude for them, helping to make my wedding day a dream come true.

e very first call, she swooped in with an insanely organized spreadsheet that somehow made planning a wedding feel… dare I say… manageable. As a Type A bride, this was my love language. Throughout the year, Krista was my voice of reason, therapist, and Google search engine all rolled into one. She gave honest advice, answered every “is this normal??” question, and gently redirected me when I started spiraling over unnecessary details. But where Krista really earned her superhero cape was the final month. She completely took over vendor coordination, the timeline, and every last moving part so I could stop juggling and start breathing. Then came the big day and, she and Emily crushed it. I started the morning asking a million questions, but quickly realized Krista and Emily were always one step ahead — they had already done the thing, fixed the thing, or had it on her radar. Within an hour, I stopped asking and stopped stressing, allowing myself to just let go. I didn’t think that was possible, but, Krista and Emily made it happen. They also managed my wild family dynamics like a pro, wrangled our bridal party without breaking a sweat, and somehow still found time to crack jokes and keep everyone laughing. My bridesmaids were obsessed and immediately started asking if Krista travels for weddings. If you want a wedding where you’re sipping champagne and dancing the night away instead of juggling details, Champagne Magnolias is the team you need. Krista is worth every single penny — and then some.

es so much more. She will help you with coordinating everything and is so knowledgeable about everything wedding. She made me feel so at ease during the day and I fully got to enjoy my wedding instead of stressing about the details. The only regret I have is not being able to chat with her every single day.

our first video call starting 90 days out, Krista made me feel supported and completely at ease! She and her team are the most knowledgeable about my venue, Renault Winery - and many other venues across the NJ/PA/etc area - which made answering my million questions a total breeze. Krista got our timeline/vibe/decor vision and made it a reality, while making sure we and our whole party were feeling good and ready all wedding day! She coordinated with all my vendors and made sure everything ran smoothly... I didn't have one worry on my wedding day because of her and Meg! They are fun, chill yet bosss, awesome human beings. You and your wedding are in the BEEEST hands with the Champagne Magnolias team!

helping answer any questions you may have, they will create your day of timeline and a tracker for all of your wedding stuff. They will also reach out to your vendors to confirm and coordinate timelines. They truly helped us stay organized and took a lot of stress off of us. I had Megan and Aubrey for the day of my wedding and they were both super nice and helpful! I highly recommend hiring Champagne Magnolias for your wedding.

as planned. We were so thankful to have Krista on our team. Leading up to the wedding, she handled all vendor communications and logistics. I left each regular check-in call feeling confident that Krista had everything taken care of. On our wedding day, she helped everything run smoothly, which allowed us to enjoy the day knowing that the logistics were taken care of. While she is an incredibly capable planner, her fun personality also added a lot of smiles and laughs to our wedding day. We highly recommend considering Krista and her team at Champagne Magnolias for all of your wedding planning needs.

ew I needed her. My wedding was planned but Krista helped me coordinate a perfect timeline and assisted in keeping contact with vendors which helped immensely as you don’t realize just how thin you’re spread the last few months before your wedding. That day her and Francesca were there for the setup that turned out better than I could’ve imagined. There were some minor issues with wind and flowers but Krista didn’t stress me about these she just handled it and everything was perfect. They were both always checking in with me and making sure the night went exactly as envisioned from start to end. I can’t thank them enough. Don’t let yourself have any wedding day regrets by not booking them for your day!

2) wedding day management (which really starts around 3-months prior). For the design services, Krista took my vision board/loose ideas and translated into a beautiful design which was well organized and perfectly fit my vision! She then connected us with the right vendors to turn the design into reality and gave guidance to vendors on exactly what was needed, such as stationary and florist. For the day of coordination, we had Meg (lead) and Ally. Meg was absolutely fantastic and the perfect choice for our day – super organized and on top of it, but also has a very easygoing vibe which helped us stay calm. Meg and the team also did so much behind the scenes and it always felt like they were 10 steps ahead (e.g., reaching out to vendors for insurance requirements, creating timelines, following up with unresponsive vendors). There were also a few tricky/uncomfortable instances with other vendors that Meg and Krista helped us navigate (and in many cases helped us to stay out of) which we are incredibly grateful for. Overall, we had a wonderful experience working with Krista, Meg and the Champagne Magnolias team and can't recommend them enough!

anagement services, but even from our first meeting, we knew we had made the right choice. From vendor coordination to organization and ensuring that all our concerns were addressed, everything went absolutely perfectly. When wedding day came, I can honestly say I had no concerns because I knew Megan had everything handled. Our main events of the day included Baraat, Hindu Ceremony, Lunch/Break, Cocktail Hour, and Reception. We have been to many Indian events before and usually the timeline is always off, but our entire day remained on track from start to end. She has such a calm and easygoing vibe that even through all the hustle and bustle of the day I was able to feel at ease and have fun too! Also, if you are considering using Renault as your venue, I would say Megan is a must! She already has a great rapport with Renault’s staff. It made the experience so smooth and seamless. We honestly couldn’t have done it without her! Thank you so much Meg! It wouldn’t have been the same with you! (And Gab too!)

a god send. She is thorough, organized, and personable. She had such a calming presence that even in the midst of the most stressful days leading up to our wedding she calmed us down and reassured us she had it under control. At our rehearsal and wedding day she was everywhere and everything was seamless. Krista created an hour by hour schedule for us and our bridal party to ensure everyone was on track leading up to the ceremony. Apart from coordinating with vendors she put up all of our decor and even moved it to their secondary locations. She was such a joy, everyone loved her, and we couldn’t be more thankful!

ht person to be another “me” to make sure my day was as smooth as possible. I was recommended to check out Krista by other Hamilton Manor brides. We are always told that our venue doesn’t necessarily need an outside coordinator but the ease I felt with having her there was worth it. Immediately after our first conversation, I knew she was the right fit and booked. I loved that she knew my vendors so well so she understood how they would operate. She and the team had me feeling so relaxed and kept things so smooth, I had several hours during the day to just relax and soak everything in. She is incredibly organized, professional, and not afraid to frolic in the leaves to get the best photos for us.

, she reapplied my lipstick, got me into & bustled my dress, made sure we ate and had alcohol and everything in between. I'm so glad we had her! Hire her, you will not regret it!!!

s on track with the timeline and communicating with our vendors. Krista was always readily available to answer any of our questions. Working with Krista and her team reduced so much stress. I can't recommend Champagne Magnolias enough!!

s it perfectly. She took care of everything on our wedding day and I had the most stress-free experience. It was the most amazing feeling to be able to leave everything in the hands of Krista and her team and just purely enjoy my wedding day, and that’s why hiring a planner (particularly Champagne Magnolias) is so worth it!! I would hire Krista a thousand times over again!! She is such a joy to work with and our wedding most definitely would not have been as enjoyable without her!!

y-of coordinator actually *did.* Hiring Krista & Champagne Magnolias was truly one of the BEST decisions I made for our wedding!!!! From the minute we had our kickoff call, I told her that I felt so much better and calmer about the process. As the day grew closer, it felt so reassuring to know that Krista had our backs and was reaching out on our behalf to confirm final details with our other vendors. Krista's services truly shined on our wedding day. She brought a fun yet calming spirit to our wedding party and was an absolute HYPE WOMAN!! There are so many tiny details that I never considered when planning the wedding (Who will set up the table numbers? How will my dress be transported from the hotel to the venue? Who will tell my bridal party when it is time for them to walk down the aisle?) and I simply could not have managed all this without Krista. If you are reading this and you are on the fence about hiring Champagne Magnolias.... DO IT!!! <3

went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. What we were truly drawn to was that her DOC started 3 months out! The team handled every detail with grace and professionalism, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and seamlessly. They were there to put out any fire! Krista was a calming presence right when I needed her most, three months out before the big day, to navigate those stressful wrenches that get thrown. Krista, Megan & Kimber were heaven sent on the day of the wedding, they took care of everything so that we could focus on enjoying the day. As a “type A” bride they were there to remind me to shut off my brain & enjoy the day! Krista was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had, and her expertise and experience were invaluable. I highly recommend Champagne Magnolia’s to any couple looking for someone who is dedicated, reliable, and truly cares about making your wedding day unforgettable. Thank you Krista, Megan & Kimber for making our day truly special and stress-free!

e feel valued, welcomed, and like a friend. Our monthly/weekly planning calls were something I looked forward to as she was so organized, professional, and took all the wedding stress away! 3 weeks before the wedding I was in a serious car accident and didn’t even know if we would be getting married. Krista came through for us like no other during this truly challenging time. She made sure that all of the wedding prep was taken care of so I could focus on my recovery & getting down the aisle! She not only was amazing during the planning/prep but during the wedding day she literally managed every situation beautifully, made us feel so supported, and ensured that everything went off without a hitch. I truly do not have enough words to express how much Krista and her team mean to my husband and I. I am so grateful to have them be a huge part of our wedding day and forever will be so grateful that we hired Champagne Magnolias to plan our wedding!!!

xperienced and thinks of every single detail, and makes sure it is all going smoothly every step of the way. Her extensive check lists and regular scheduled check in calls were always fun and made the process so enjoyable. On the day of she was incredible in ensuring every vendor was doing exactly as they were supposed to and kept the day/night running smoothly without any issues. She really took the pressure off of us ands let us just enjoy the day, Thank you so much Krista and team! Y'all are the best

es again - HIGHLY recommend. There was not a task remaining 4 weeks before the wedding; my husband and I were able to approach wedding day without any stress or worry that something wasn’t done. Don’t look any further - go with Champagne Magnolia.

cess. Despite being a little Type A, I definitely needed some help and guidance staying on track leading up to our wedding. Our planning meetings started 90 days out and without them, I definitely would have been scrambling the week before to make sure I had everything we needed/wanted. She made me think of certain things that I would not have without our meetings. Krista also helped coordinate all of our vendors arrival times, contracts, etc. We had a bunch of décor items coming from different vendors and Krista was able to help us keep track of all of them. I didn't even know when the items arrived because Krista handled it all and made sure all arrived safely. She also made sure the two of us had the best day possible. Between making sure we ate, helping me repair my dress 87 times, removing a couple stains...I can't thank her enough. Krista most importantly BROUGHT THE HYPE! My girls and I had so much fun with her getting ready. She was extremely professional and made sure all was going smoothly of course, but having such a positive and fun person to hang out with was an added bonus. If you're debating hiring someone for wedding day management you can't go wrong with Krista and her team. I was genuinely sad when she left because she really helped make our day perfect and fun. THANK YOU KRISTA!!!!

c! Highly recommend.

ocess. From the very first meeting with Krista, she took the time to understand our vision for the wedding. She didn't just listen to our ideas, she built upon them, suggesting unique and creative touches that we never would have thought of ourselves. Krista is also a master organizer. She kept us on track with our timeline and worked so well with our vendors, and she was always available to answer our questions. On the wedding day itself, Krista and her team were a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of the day. She handled any and all issues that arose seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. I cannot recommend Champagne Magnolias highly enough. She is a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. We are so grateful for her hard work and dedication, and we wouldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without her.

pposed to be. Do not regret making the decision to get some extra help.

ers emails insanely fast! She is very organized and is there whenever a question pops up. She made the rehearsal at our church a breeze and told everyone where to go and when to be there! The day of the wedding Krista and her team were AMAZING! They made it so much fun, brought the best energy, and kept everything on schedule! Krista, we appreciate you and Champagne Magnolias Events and will recommend your business to everyone we know!

int in the wedding planning process and replaced that person with a man who promises the world but is the sleaziest of used car salesmen. Over and over again we were told "Jack will arrange that" "Jack will do it" "no problem" while being given no contact information, no guidance, not even additional pricing. It was a terrible experience, with the crowing moment being told 3 months before the wedding that the area for the ceremony was under construction and would not be ready before our wedding. We invited 170 and were lucky only 120 could make it, because the venue never could have sat that many people. 3 weeks before our wedding we were able to meet with "Jack" and Krista and the caterer (also great - Andreotti's) and Krista was able to find a spot on the ship where we could have the ceremony while the caterer still was able to ready the dinner. Krista designed the semi circle chairs so we could still have the view of Philadephia. Krista brought the table numbers. Krista queued the wedding party when the newly hired event coordinator for the ship who showed up half an hour before the ceremony started didn't. Krista boarded the ship to ensure the vendors knew where to go and where to set up and set up the chairs since the venue did not - Jack told us 3 days before the wedding that he'd be attending his nephew's wedding instead. Without Krista, it simply wouldn't have happened. In hindsight, I would have hired her as a full time planner instead of partial in an instant - if I could do it all over again that's what I would do. She is kind, fun, organised, professional, and gets it done. The best, bar none. Oh, and her assistant Tori was so kind and sweet and made sure I could take off my shoes and got me drinks!

cuted and truly magical. Krista was on top of all of the details and made the entire planning process stress free. The level of organization and coordination exhibited was beyond our expectations, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding day flowed effortlessly. Krista is kind, professional, and brings a sense of reassurance to what can be a stressful process. From our initial consultation she felt like a friend and was someone we fully trusted. Our wedding day was amazing and we owe a significant portion of that to Krista. If you are looking for a wedding planner who combines creativity, organization, and genuine care for their clients - look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Krista to anyone seeking an unforgettable and stress-free wedding experience. She is worth every star and more!

that she plans, she has always been responsive, getting back to us even more quickly than we would have assumed. On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly thanks to Krista (and if it didn’t, we didn’t know). We got to have fun during the entire wedding without sweating the numerous small details. Through the entire experience, we thought of Krista as a friend and not just our wedding planner. Krista is a wonderful human being whom you can trust on the most important day of your life to deliver an absolute fantastic wedding experience!

there for me in the month leading up to my wedding and the day of was invaluable. From handling vendor communications to building my timeline to helping set up and break down decor to literally chasing off drunk hecklers during the ceremony. Champagne Magnolia and team thought of EVERYTHING! They were 5 steps ahead at all points of the day. I felt like the most relaxed bride the day of my wedding and somehow had extra time in my timeline to spend quality time with my bridal party beforehand. I can say with 1000% confidence that I wouldn't have felt so at ease without Krista and her team. They will be your biggest hype team and do everything you dreamed of...even if it's something crazy...like a shoey toast.
