Wedding 09/21/24 - 5 STARS!!

We cannot say enough good things about Christina and Jennifer. These two from the very start provided us with exceptional communication. They constantly answered any of our questions, eased our mind with updated spread sheets for checklists we needed to complete and all around made our special day flawless. We were able to enjoy every minute of our wedding while they worked tirelessly in the background to attain to every fine detail. They met us the day before for our rehearsal where we provided them with all items required for set up. We recall going through the items with them and them telling us “don’t worry we got this”. They truly did! Down to every fine detail, everything was set up properly. They constantly communicated with us throughout the night to ensure everything went as planned and packed everything away at the end of the night. They truly hit 5 stars in every aspect and we are forever grateful for their services. We would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for their services to help plan their weddings!!

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!

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!

Amazing!!!

Christina and Jennifer were amazing wedding planners and truly went above and beyond! Even though we hired them as month of coordinators, Christina was still happy more than happy to answer questions and give us tips/tricks from the beginning of our planning! They were super organized, responsive, professional and also just really down to earth people. We had our wedding at a golf course and it was a joint Jewish and Ismaili ceremony. They were so helpful in making sure we incorporated everything from each of our cultures that was important to us. I would absolutely recommend them!

Where do I begin?

Christina has been amazing to work with from start to finish. As we expressed to her at the end of our wedding, she was invaluable. Money incredibly well-spent. We had a series of unfortunate events when our venue burnt to the ground a couple of months before our wedding, and even though technically she wasn't contracted to start yet, she reached out to offer her help to find new venues and help wherever was needed to get our feet on solid ground. Once it came down to crunch time, Christina was incredible to work with. Her response time was never more than a couple of minutes and she was always available to answer questions or concerns. She served as a liaison between us and the venue, the musicians, the caterers, the photographers, which was extraordinarily helpful, given the challenges of planning a wedding on Wards Island. She was on site early in the morning on the wedding day to set up, and set up things beautifully, even more beautifully than I'd imagined. She was also literally the LAST person to leave the island at 1 am, showing just how dedicated she is to getting the job done. And she did it all without breaking a sweat? Did I mention she's amazing at control of wild moms/MILs? We owe her a lot for making our wedding day a (mostly) stress-free breeze and would recommend her without and hesitation to other couples getting married; in fact we already have...

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
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
