    We love Christine! She is awesome and is so organized. Coming from a girl who is extremely organized and anal, Christine rocks! My entire wedding day I did not worry about a THING!! She had everything planned out perfectly and somehow was able to get my large (20+ people) wedding party plus family to cooperate and listen to her instructions. She is awesome, awesome, awesome and we highly recommend her services!

    Christine is AMAZING. She was like working with a best friend. Not only are her prices amazing, her service is worth three times the price. My wedding was a complete success and was stress free knowing that I could trust Christine with the plans. She made an extra effort to take home some of my reception decorations when we didn't have room and was willing to help anyway she could. I LOVE Christine. Would (and have) recommend her to my best of friends!

    Christine Rice of RSVP Consultants was absolutely fantastic, and we could not have enjoyed working with her more. She knew what we needed even before we knew! I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who is in need of wedding planning services.

    Hiring Christine was probably the best decision we made in planning our wedding! I had done most of the work but wanted to have a day of coordinator to run the day and work out any kinks so that I wouldn't have to. She was one of the best priced coordinators I found, and she was so responsive and helpful whenever I had any questions. She came with us to the final meetings with our venue so that she would know everything was running smoothly, and I didn't hear of a single problem the whole time on our wedding day. She managed all the set up so that we could just be with our friends and family and enjoy the day. I got lots of compliments about how smoothly everything ran. Love Christine she is highly recommended!

    Christine did a great job as the day-of-coordinator for my wedding! I had a very specific vision and she made it happen perfectly. If there were any issues on the day of my wedding, I never knew about them! One of the most thoughtful things she did was take care of the gifts & presents; I forgot to bring the car that was supposed to be loaded with gifts, so she took everything to my bridal suite while I was enjoying the reception. Her fee is very reasonable and I would definitely recommend her services to any bride.

    Is there a way to provide more than 5 stars? Because Christine of RSVP Consultants earned at least 10 over the past year and a half as we planned my wedding together. I'm not the most detail oriented person to begin with and halfway through the planning process, I got pregnant and was even more distracted. Christine went above and beyond in keeping this event on track. She helped source vendors, keep track of payments, set up, keep everyone on schedule, set up meetings with vendors, communicate with vendors so everyone knew what was going on, AND keep myself, my husband, and my parents sane. More than once my parents commented to me that they had been hesitant about my decision to hire a planner but were so glad we did because the day would not have been the same (or half as good) without Christine's help.

    Owner Christine Rice, of RSVP Consultants provided us with the full service planning. Wow...........what can I not say about Christine without bragging on her. She is the most professional and down to every detail everything was done with care. I would recommend RSVP 10 times over if you ever need a wedding planner. From the dress, to the tuxes, cakes, dj, linens, venue, hair, make-up.....she was there for it all. We could not have done this without her. Our day was so beautiful and well thought out due to the exceptional planning of Christine Rice. Because of her we had no stress on our day....everything was so smooth. Our wedding took place on New Year's Eve and we still get compliments on that day. Everyone asks who was that planner you had and where did you find her. She was on point!!!!!! Thanks Christine for an awesome, awesome, most spectacular day. Darryl and I will never forget it!!!

    My wife and I had the daunting task of planning a wedding in Virginia from Missouri, which encouraged us to get some outside help beyond our families. Initially, the planner we wanted to go with originally wasn't available, but I'm grateful that that happened.

    To say the least, Christine was an absolute delight to work with. Every chance we came into town, Christine made herself available and crammed as much stuff as possible into a short period of time to make sure we were on schedule and that we didn't forget anything. The day of moved efficiently and smoothly from our point of view, but I'm sure there were things going on behind the scenes that occurred that we weren't made aware of.

    Christine took the initiative to bring up things that we didn't think of and was a professional throughout the entire process. She always had our best interest at heart, provided options & suggestions, and ultimately made us feel like our wedding was THE most important thing on her agenda. We would highly recommend Christine for any wedding that someone out there is planning - you won't regret it.

    Christine is simply fabulous!! I hired RSVP Consultants after having just come off a very bad experience with another consultant. As the mother of the bride, I lived out of town and my daughter was working full time and also attended Graduate School. Christine took over and she was absolutely worth every penny I spent! Since we had already had some plans in the works, Christine was able to gear a package to meet our needs. I had a strong need for communication and Christine was ALWAYS responsive and proactive in dealing with the bride, me and all the vendors. She listens very well and made helpful suggestions while always keeping the budget in mind. She went to all the vendor visits with us which was something very important to me. She has a very calming and decisive demeanor that puts you at ease and you know that things will be taken care of. The wedding ended up being on a record breaking 105 degree day and we had to make last minute changes to take the wedding inside. While I was with my daughter picking up guests at the airport, getting hair and make up done etc. Christine totally revamped the layout of the wedding (providing me with a scale diagram) and contacted all the vendors to coordinate all the changes that were being made. I just cannot tell you how much I appreciated that. I only have one daughter and I wanted to enjoy the ceremony, family and friends. Her hard work and attention to detail enabled me to do that. It's such a difficult decision trying to decide if you want to hire a wedding planner and then you are afraid you may get a "bad" one. If you are considering Christine with RSVP consultants....you can put your mind to rest. It will be one of the best decisions you've made. ENJOY one of the most memorable experiences of your life!!

    If you live in the Richmond area, I highly recommend hiring RSVP Consultants as your Wedding Planner. Of course Christine is very organized and detailed just like other wedding planners but what sets her apart is that she's very intelligent and helps guide you through the whole wedding process. From day one she listens to your ideal wedding, and then works with you (and your budget!) to make that dream a reality. In addition, unlike most other event planners, she doesn't force you to use specific vendors, rather she helps you determine which ones are the best fit for what you want and your budget.

    On top of all this, she's very down-to-earth. I was apprehensive about hiring a wedding planner because I didn't want them controlling everything, but hiring Christine was the best thing we could have done. She took a lot of pressure off of us. My wife and I both agree that she "quarterbacked" a perfect wedding for us. She is one of the main reasons everything went exactly how we imagined in our minds.

    If you're having a major event or need help planning your wedding, it's definitely worth it to have Christine and RSVP Consultants on your side.

    Christine is the best wedding planner in VA. She is very responsive and takes great care of the bride. I do not know how I would have made it without her.

    I found RSVP consultants very affordable and the support they provided justified the cost for hiring a wedding consultant. They offered me a flexible payment schedule which allowed me to fit the cost into my budget. In addition, they offered great advice throughout the planning process and even helped me work with vendors to make sure I was receiving the best service possible. They seemed prepared for every situation thrown at them and were calm which in turn helped keep me remain calm throughout the process. I really felt like they cared about making my wedding day truely a day to remember and it was an experience that I will never forget. I now recommend RSVP consultants to anyone getting married. Thanks again for everything!

    Christine was an absolute peach! She helped us shape our vision for the wedding, even when we didn't know what we wanted. She always brought good suggestions and fresh ideas to the table, which was helpful as we were planning the wedding from afar. Her presence in Richmond and knowledge of vendors was HUGE and really helped keep my mom sane, which is crucial to any bride-to-be :)

    The day-of, Christine was amazing. She kept everything flowing seamlessly and we were all truly able to enjoy the evening as guests and worry-free, exactly what we were hoping for.

    Thanks for everything, Christine!!
