Chrissie Sue was invaluable in planning and executing the perfect wedding for my daughter Susannah and her now husband Will! When Susannah and Will became engaged, we were in three different states and only one of us was in Massachusetts where the wedding was to take place, thus we chose the “LUXE” plan. It was worth every penny! Chrissie Sue is a delight to work with! She is the greatest combination of professionalism, organization, kindness, compassion, humor, and as others have attested before me, friendship! Chrissie Sue presented us with terrific vendors and options for each decision we had to make. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Will and Susannah’s wedding theme was “elegance” and goodness did Chrissie Sue and her amazing team deliver! Many of our guests have commented that they have never been to a more beautiful and super fun wedding and I have to agree! I cannot recommend EVENTS by Chrissie Sue enough. She is respectful of your budget, your taste, your time and delivers a fabulous event. Our experience was above and beyond our expectations.

I really enjoyed working with Chrissie Sue! She was very responsive, flexible, organized, communicative, and enthusiastic about bringing my wedding vision to life. She not only listened to my ideas but added to them as well and kept track of everything we needed. I wouldn’t have been able to have the wedding of my dreams without her. I highly recommend her services!

BOOK EVENTS BY CHRISSIE SUE! I cannot recommend Chrissie Sue and her team enough! What she has to offer for her services is great and I feel like it has something for any bride. We went with the Elite package as I already had a few vendors lined up prior to reaching out to Chrissie Sue. From day one of reaching out to her, she was organized, responsive and attentive. Every time we had a meeting, I felt like I was meeting with a friend and not someone who was planning my wedding. SHE GETS IT! She gets the anxiety, the stress, the tough decisions, the long conversations with your fiancé on what we should do and what we shouldn’t do. She would sit there and listen to me and then offer guidance on how to handle many different situations… and trust me, you will encounter strange situations during planning! She made the entire process enjoyable!

Chrissie Sue planned the most memorable wedding. She took what we envisioned and brought it to life! We wanted classy but comfortable and I was blown away with how our reception and ceremony looked with table décor and flowers. I’m not the most decisive person so it helped having a planner I could lean on and trust to make the reception beautiful and I felt comfortable giving her the reigns to make decisions. I woke up the day of the wedding with only needing to worry about my bridesmaids and myself getting ready and being at the venue on time (based on the timelines CS set up.) That’s it! Chrissie Sue and her team took care of everything. We had a last minute seat AND Table change and Chrissie Sue handled it-texted her the few details and done. I didn’t need to do anything!

If you want to enjoy and love planning your wedding, not stress, have someone who is knowledgeable, calm and collected, and someone to guide you with details but also listen to you when even the smallest worries start to build up wedding related or not, then GET A PLANNER- GET CHRISSIE SUE! I wish we booked her sooner so we could experience more of the vendors in her network because the vendors she helped get were also phenomenal! Chrissie Sue was a big part of our planning process and wedding day. You always hear couples say they would do their wedding day over again because of how much fun they had… well I would do the entire process over because that’s how enjoyable and fun Chrissie Sue made it!

Chrissie Sue was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her organization and professionalism was exactly what we needed. She answered all our questions promptly, and had countless helpful suggestions. When it came to the week of the wedding, she made sure everything was in line so the day could go smoothly. On the day, she had an easygoing, yet focused presence, which reminded us we were in good hands. She also was super fun to be around at the reception and kept us smiling and laughing for photos. We are so grateful for her help and support. We highly recommend her for anyone getting married, or another event! We had the best day and couldn’t have done it without her.

I can’t say enough positive things about Chrissie Sue and her team! She truly made the entire wedding-planning process so smooth and enjoyable for us as a couple, from creating an incredibly detailed game plan a year before the wedding, to communicating with all of the vendors on our behalf, to bringing our vision to life and making the day of the wedding beyond what we ever could’ve imagined! She is a super hero in this business and we are so glad we chose to work with her. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, professional, and organized, she is upbeat, enthusiastic, and a fun person to share the planning experience with. I cannot recommend her and her team enough!

Chrissie Sue was absolutely amazing to work with and plan our dream wedding, and she delivered exactly what my wife and I wanted. She handled everything, was incredibly thorough and always looked out for our best interest. My wife and I both have busy work schedules, so Chrissie Sue handled all the vendor vetting and pricing and got us the best vendors as well. She was there with us step by step and explained everything and let us know things we wouldn’t have factored in and would have missed out on. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of everything and controlled all the moving parts so we could relax and enjoy the day. She also did a great job keeping our large wedding party 29 people on time and in order. Any large event I have in the future, I would use Chrissie Sue no doubt! She’s also super personable and so fun to work with.

Interview Transcript

My name is Chrissie Sue and I own an event planning and design firm called Events by Chrissie Sue. I've actually been in the industry for over 20 years. I started back in 2003 when I was just getting out of college and I haven't stopped since. I have executed over 500 events. The events have ranged from intimate affairs to very large grand events.

I would say the most unique element of myself is my personality. A lot of times I've been considered a social chameleon because I have the ability to be very direct when I need to be, but also very understanding and playful and unique in terms of my styling, but also understanding and a great listener. Those are qualities that are very important when you are hiring someone that you're going to be working with day in and day out.

An event is something that you'll be planning for a number of months, sometimes a number of years. If you have someone you're comfortable with, their personality will help you discover what you want for your own event because every event is different. And so having a great listener and someone with a great personality that you're going to be working with day in and day is super important.

I would say the best part of being a wedding planner is to create a different event with each specific client. The milestone events, whether they be personal or from a corporate perspective, every day is different. People may opt to not go with an event company. What happens is is that they're overwhelmed and then the process of the milestone event ends up becoming lost and they don't have the opportunity to really enjoy the process as much as they would because they're so busy working through the logistics.

Hiring someone professional like a planner, it would allow for those things to be streamlined, have someone that is working as your advocate. My job is to make sure that not only our clients enjoy the process, but they can be physically present while they're there. These types of events, they can only happen once. So if you miss that opportunity because you're so stressed, it really takes away from the entire experience. If you are uncertain about hiring a professional event planner, consider us events by Chrissie Sue. We would love the opportunity to work with you.
