“Working with Christina McMillan was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

“From start to finish, she handled full planning with grace, professionalism, and heart. Christina provided thoughtful recommendations for everything—from hair and makeup to bartending services—and even lent her creative touch to our flower arrangements.

What stood out most was how deeply she listened. Every idea and vision I had, she took seriously, offering gentle guidance and expert advice along the way. Christina genuinely goes above and beyond—not because she has to, but because she truly cares. Her passion for what she does is evident in every detail.

Even when the weather threw us a curveball, Christina remained calm, collected, and completely in control. Thanks to her, we had the most perfect wedding day—and we felt so supported every step of the way. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“She just made the whole experience wonderful and took care of all the details…”

 “Christina and McMillan Events were awesome for our wedding this past fall! My husband and I dated almost exclusively long-distance, and we elected to get married in our hometown in California, where we both grew up, but neither of us resided any longer. Sound crazy? It was! But Christina and her team were amazing and made it all happen with Zoom calls and text and email check-ins to make sure we had a handle on all the wedding preparations (venue, catering, flowers, etc.) while honoring our budget and being the on-ground coordinator.

When it came to the busy and what would normally be a super stressful time of the day before the wedding and the morning of, Christina and her team really shined by making my experience as the bride completely seamless, from the rehearsal dinner to setting up the reception venue to that unforgettable moment of walking down the aisle! As an added kudos, she perfectly captured the vision for the wedding as elegant, simple, and with gorgeous fall decor and fall colors.

While I don't plan to get married again, I would definitely hire Christina and her team again, as she just made the whole experience wonderful and took care of all the details we never even considered. Five stars!”

Christina found the perfect venue for us—an enchanting outdoor space that not only respected all the safety requirements of the time but also captured the essence of who we are. She was endlessly flexible, intuitive to our personal needs, and attentive to every ever-changing detail. Her commitment to both our well-being and the artistry of the day was nothing short of remarkable.

Beyond securing a gorgeous setting, Christina thoughtfully curated a dream team of vendors, from exquisite catering to every delicate touch that made our day feel magical. The entire process was not just stress-free—it was an absolute pleasure.

Our ceremony unfolded like a beautiful dream, every moment flowing effortlessly into the next. Thanks to Christina's meticulous planning and caring heart, we were able to simply be present, soaking in the love and beauty surrounding us. The memories we have from this day are ones we enjoy reflecting on throughout our marriage.

“I can not thank Christina enough for the incredible job she did planning and officiating our wedding.

All within just one week! From start to finish, everything was handled with such calm, care, and professionalism. 

Christina not only became ordained to officiate our wedding, coordinated everything but also found my wedding dress with alterations completed. 

An amazing venue photographer, a talented makeup artist, delicious food, flowers, plates, napkins, glasses, decor and  every other detail we didn’t even think of.

Even with such a short timeline, everything came together beautifully. The ceremony was heartfelt, personal, and memorable — Christina’s words truly made it special. I honestly don’t know how she pulled it off, but our wedding day was absolutely perfect. If you need someone who can handle it all and make it feel effortless, Christina is your go-to!”

“She was the calm and the light.”

 “From the moment we met Christina, her light captivated us. She immediately got to work and went above and beyond to bring our vision to light on such short notice. We gave her the vision -dreamy, ethereal, enchanting- and she more than delivered. She gave us the most memorable wedding we could have asked for!

Amid the chaos, she was the calm and the light, making light of every little stress that trickled our way. Meanwhile, simultaneously capturing every sweet moment with our families' BTS throughout our week while doing it! We hired her as our florist, and she graciously took on any task that came her way with warmth, passion, and meticulous perfection.

Bride to bride, or anyone considering how to bring the best energy to your special day, I would hire Christina as your wedding coordinator, florist, officiant, you name it! & you can trust she will deliver beyond expectations. Her energy is joyful and infectious and just the face you want to see in any circumstance.

Thank you Christina, you've given us the most wonderful wedding... words simply can't thank you enough.”
