Month of Coordination

What a pleasure it was working with Christina and Jen for the month of coordination of our wedding. I am so grateful to have had them, especially when just a few weeks out from my wedding some changes to the venue had me redoing almost all of my decor. They were calm and professional and helped me reimagine the decor and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Not only that, they listened and remembered the small details. My wedding went off without a hitch, and if there were any hiccups they were taken care of without me or my partner having any idea, allowing us to have the best day. They really are an invaluable team.

Could not be better

We loved working with Christina SO MUCH. So professional, so trustworthy, the best advocate for us. She understood our priorities from the outset, treated us with such care and respect. It is not an overstatement that we had the best wedding day ever thanks to her. Having her initiative, problem solving, expertise, and communication meant that we could do things on our day that we wouldn't have been able to coordinate, and it meant that we could just purely enjoy the day! We got so many compliments on being the most relaxed bride and groom our guests had ever seen, thank you, Christina!

Amazing!!! You need Christina for your wedding day!

My experience was far beyond my expectations! Christina understood my vision and somehow made it even better than I had hoped for. She was practically in my head with the planning process and during the wedding day. She kept all my vendors in check and the bridal party on the wedding day. I felt ZERO stress on my wedding day all because I knew she had it all covered. She could tell when I needed help with my dress or my hair and had it covered. I highly recommend her and all my family and friends were so impressed by her too. I wish I had the photos back to attach instead of just guest photos. My experience was 100/10 I will be telling everybody about her! If you’re reading this review you probably are looking for a planner so HIRE THIS WOMEN SHE IS AMAZING!

We had the 10th anniversary party of our dreams thanks to Christina Bonner and With Love Events

Christina Bonner and With Love Events helped curate a gorgeous Tenth Anniversary Celebration for us- we are delighted with the look and feel of the event and our guests have shared so many compliments! Our party ended up being a second wedding and Christina took all of the updates and changes of program in stride. I could not have asked for a more capable, informed and kind planner.

From our first meeting Christina was thoughtful, prepared and an excellent listener. She really internalized the feel we wanted for the event and delivered on that, but also knew exactly when to make suggestions and offer alternatives. She adhered to our budget and never complained if we had a change or new idea. We live in San Francisco but were holding the event in Toronto and I never once felt concerned that I wasn’t local during the planning- Christina was so organized that it wasn’t an issue at all!

Christina also worked seamlessly with our vendors, including the TIFF Lightbox event management, and made sure we didn’t have to lift a finger to organize, set up or coordinate anything the day of the event. On the day of, she constantly yet unobtrusively ensured that my family and close relatives had everything we needed, and helped wrangle relatives of all ages for photos. She stayed until the very end, paid the vendors and coordinated the last details.

I’m so pleased with how our anniversary event turned out and couldn’t have done it without Christina and With Love Events! 10/10 recommend!

Wouldn’t have done it any other way

Where do I even begin!? Christina managed to make my wedding one of the best days of my life. She gets you EXACTLY what you want and doesn’t take no for an answer!

She handled everything with grace, including breaking down the bridal suite door that claimed some bridal party hostages!! She really saved the day on that one.

She sourced the most beautiful rentals, coordinated with literally everyone, and most importantly kept me sane. 😊

Go with Christina, you won’t regret it!

Life savers! Best money ever spent

I was initially hesitant to spend money on hiring a wedding coordinator but after seeing the hard work they put into ensuring a smooth and stress-free wedding day, I could not be more pleased with both Christina and Jennifer!

Christina and Jennifer were absolutely amazing! They followed up with a particularly difficult vendor who was really hard to get a hold of and was a constant headache for us to deal with.

They also ensured that our wedding day went smoothly. Whenever there was an issue, they just dealt with it and we could just focus on enjoying our special day. My wife and I could not imagine going through the last 2 months leading up to our wedding without Christina and Jennifer.

They were also able to share a lot of resources which were very helpful. They kept us on track throughout the process, always ensuring that we met the required deadlines.

All in all, it was a pleasure working with Christina and Jennifer from With Love events. Will be recommending them to all of our friends and family that are getting married!

Thank you again Christina and Jennifer :D

10/10 would recommend

Christina and Jennifer did a fantastic job to make our wedding day great. We had them engaged with us two months before our big day and they helped us in ways we didn't even know we needed. They helped take care of all the vendors, helped to answer any of our questions, helped from a design perspective with our florist, and, checked in to make sure we were okay along the planning process. Their communication is great, super fast, and we always felt supported (whether it was something big or just a question about the wedding that purely came from a place of stress). We couldn't have done our big day without them. If you are even remotely considering hiring a planner, hire them!

Beyond amazing

If you want the wedding of your dreams than you need to hire With Love!
I do not even have enough words to describe how absolutely beyond amazing these ladies were!
They are wedding planners and so much more! I felt so safe and comfortable with them, knowing that there wasn’t a single thing I needed to worry about. They met expectations I didn’t even know I had!

Detailed & Professional Coordinators!

Christina and Jennifer worked with us from months before the wedding even though we hired them as our day-of coordinator. They went above and beyond from the very beginning to help us have the wedding of our dreams!

Even though we had some issues with the venue and some other vendors, they made sure that we got everything we needed for the day and helped us negotiate different things as well.

Christina came early for the rehearsal day and made sure we had our music, checked all the details about where to move during the ceremony, and talked to us genuinely from her experience to make our last minute decisions.

On the day of the wedding, they were very professional, made sure everything went smoothly and we did not see ANYTHING go wrong. Everything went so seamlessly because of Christina and Jennifer's efforts and they were also so flexible in change of schedules.

We are so grateful for them and 110% satisfied with their service!
