You have a big vision for your wedding day. We ensure that every little detail comes to life.
Our signature planning process guarantees that you’ll have the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. Wedding planning can be a full-time job, but it doesn’t have to be yours. With full and busy lives, our clients know that they can forget the wedding stress and leave every checkpoint to us.

At Christofora Events, your vision is the heart of our planning process. We take weddings out of stuffy ballrooms and staid country clubs and give couples the freedom to decide what they want their wedding to be.
From securing nontraditional venues to liaising with vendors and keeping cherished family members informed, we pour our expertise into our signature planning process. You’ll feel seen, cared for, and more excited for your wedding day every step of the way.
We create detailed blueprints that turn wedding-day dreams into stunning realities.
Impeccable organization is part of our art. At Christofora Events, we don’t just promise clients a dream wedding — we design a foolproof plan to make their dreams come true. Our streamlined planning process starts the moment you sign your contract.
A series of carefully considered onboarding emails helps us create a custom budget, develop a concept for bespoke design, and employ the first steps of our planning process.
The Onboarding Process
The Initial Meeting
During our first meeting, we’ll focus on creating a financial plan for your wedding and walk you through the details of how we’ll work together in our centralized planning portal. We’ll also spend some time mapping out the first steps we’ll need to check off the to-do list to get the planning process started.
The Planning Begins
After our initial meeting, we’ll get to work on vendor selection and interviews while you devise your guest list and choose a wedding domain. At every meeting and through every step that follows, we’ll keep you (and anyone who’s involved in the planning process) informed, inspired, and on schedule.
Our Signature Touch
You’ll feel guided, relaxed, and cared for from the second you sign your contract to your farewell brunch the morning after the wedding. Our clients often say that we help them enjoy the planning process, eliminating stress and providing constant care and support.

"When it came to the day of our wedding all we had to do was show up and soak it all in, which is exactly what we hoped for!
The wedding planning process overwhelmed me and my now-husband from the get-go. Without Angela and her team, our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was — it was perfect! My husband and I were involved from start to finish but didn’t have to worry about the day-to-day details and execution, and that made the process so much more enjoyable.”
-Kerri McArdle
As Seen In:
"Angela and her team are ultra-professional and friendly and the 'day of' always goes so smoothly as a result of their fine attention to detail.
We LOVE working with Angela and her team. Her clients are always so much fun, choose the most interesting venues, and the style and design are always so creative! …We HIGHLY recommend [Christofora Events] throughout the Hudson Valley and Catskills regions. Their knowledge of these areas and wedding and event resources are hard to beat!”

We plan, design, and thoughtfully refine. Your only job is to say, “I Do.”
OUR SIGNATURE WEDDING PLANNING EXPERIENCE
Through wedding planning, coordination, and venue scouting, we make planning organized, efficient, and joyful. You may be one of the few among your friends to say you loved every second of your planning experience.
Plan
We’ve created a bespoke planning process that takes care of every detail imaginable. You will not only enjoy your planning experience but know that nothing will be left to chance.
Your experience begins with your vision, dreams, and desires. We will create your custom spend guide and welcome you into our planning systems, where you will have access to all your documentation in one convenient location. Whether you’re planning your wedding as a couple or including parents in the process, we make it a streamlined, simple experience.
In the planning phase, we focus on drafting a wedding day timeline, creating your wedding websites, putting together save the dates, securing hotel blocks, and arranging guest transportation. Together, we will make a plan for hiring and securing the services of your vendor team, including your photographer, hair and makeup, videographer, and wedding DJ or band.
If a meeting is coming up, a vendor contract needs to be signed, or a tasting needs to be scheduled, we will notify you at every step. You will never wonder what happens next; you will simply be guided through the planning process.
Simply be present and enjoy as we care for the details of your event, knowing you’ll never have to worry. We keep both the planning process and your event flowing smoothly, so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying your engagement.
Design
Bring on the floor plans, mood boards, floral designs, and mockups! The Design Phase is one of the most exciting moments in the planning process because you’ll begin to see all of your desires come to life in beautifully styled visuals. As you move through this phase, we will design your ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and the details of your wedding weekend, including your pre- and post-wedding events.
With your mood board and design plan approved, we will identify and secure vendors for florals, lighting, stationery, and rentals while ensuring the overall design of your wedding is aligned with your desires. You will truly begin to see your wedding take shape.
Refine
As your wedding date draws closer, we will finalize every detail, from your song selections to your photography shot lists, seating plans, and ceremony service. Together with your stationery designer, we’ll order your day-of wedding paper items and mail and track RSVPs while having final vendor meetings to ensure the team is fully prepared and equipped for your wedding.
Execute
Your wedding is almost here! In the lead-up to your event, we ensure you don’t have to worry about anything. We’ll distribute the wedding timeline to all your vendors, ensure your guest welcome bags are prepared, lead you through the final venue walkthrough, and coordinate deliveries, finalize rentals, and more.
We take care of keeping your wedding timeline flowing on time — you won’t even have to carry a phone or a watch. All you have to do is enjoy your event — all the planning has come together for you to embrace and celebrate this beautiful moment with your loved ones knowing that we will resolve any issues that arise — you won’t even be aware of it! Your wedding will flow so smoothly that you won’t have to worry about where your guests are, what time it is, or where you need to be for photos.

Wedding Coordination
For couples that have their wedding planned, but require expert support in executing their vision, our wedding coordination service offers couples peace of mind and the ability to delight in their celebration. Leave the details to us, and know your wedding will unfold precisely how you planned and envisioned.
We’re committed to excellence in every petal, note, and detail, ensuring your big day is not only flawless but also leaves a lasting impression. As your wedding coordinators, we will create and finalize your timeline, connect with your trusted vendor team in preparation for your wedding day, and direct your ceremony and reception festivities.
Four to five weeks before your wedding, we’ll meet for a virtual deep-dive session to discover the details of your celebration, then fully execute the details you have planned and prepared for.
"Angela and the rest of the team made my big day run so smoothly. I opted for Day-Of Coordination, and I am SO thankful I did. Our meetings leading up to my wedding were detailed and so productive, and I felt like I could rest assured everything would be covered the day of the event."
