Christina is Amazing
From the beginning, Christina and Mia were so receptive to ideas, listening to and understanding ally’s vision. She guided us to the most wonderful vendors, all while keeping Ally’s ideas at the forefront.
As the mother of the bride, Christina and Mia were so easy to work with. As parents, we had a few things that were very important to us for the weekend festivities, and these were all executed beautifully.
Christina and Mia kept us on track throughout the year and half of planning and paid such attention to detail. And it was perfect!
When I think back on the entire process, I just smile. I was so relaxed and truly got to enjoy every moment because Christina and Mia had it all under control. I wish I had another daughter so I could do it all over again!!
Best Decision You'll Make!
The CBWE team is the best!
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!

Christina is a planner of taste, sophistication and elegance . As soon as we met, I could see that her attention to detail and responsiveness was impeccable. Her style sets her apart and translates to the most refined and polished touches that you will ever see on your wedding day.
Unbelievable is short of describing CiBi events. One of my best wedding films was at a CiBi event, and the bride and groom's party was just a breath taking and alive. Civil is upmost professional and fun to work with. I hope to have more weddings with this company.
I always enjoy being a part of a wedding team that has CiBi Events at the helm. Not only are CiBi's design creations visually stunning, but every wedding is truly personalized to reflect the couple. CiBi's ability to achieve both of these makes every wedding unique and timeless. Along with creative design, CiBi proactively communicates and works with every vendor on the wedding team. This ensures for a flawless wedding day, and is especially helpful for me since photography is so intricately a part of the day's schedule. Aside from exceptional professionalism, I also am grateful that CiBi Events and I share the philosophy that building relationships with each couple is our top priority. That we're not merely delivering a product, but that we're providing a service that involves developing a long term relationship with every bride and groom. By having CiBi Events on your wedding team, you'll undoubtedly receive talented design, exceptional planning, and a planner committed to making your dream wedding a reality.
