Antonia Christianson Events

As an out of town bride I was nervous planning a wedding from a different city. From the moment I walked into the Antonia Christianson Events (ACE) studio I felt my wedding anxiety disappear! Missy was available to help me stay on schedule, focus my ideas and suggest vendors that fit my vision! In the weeks leading up to our wedding Missy and her team helped me make all of the little details come together. I truly felt at ease when it was time for our big day! I have been told that I was "one of the most relaxed brides" my friends have ever seen. I tell them it is because I had Missy and her team making my dream wedding come together. While we were taking our photos before the ceremony I knew the details were coming together and I could relax. From my "bow" napkins to my cookie bar I could not have asked for a more perfect vision when I walked into my reception! We were thrilled with our decision to hire ACE, you won't find a more honest, more fun planner in the Hampton Roads region! I would highly recommend her to every Bride planning her big day in the NC/VA area!!

Because my husband and I were expecting a new addition to our family we planned our wedding in only three months. Missy and her team were on top of everything and guided me every step of the way. She made planning a monumental event a breeze and we were able to have the wedding of our dreams come together in a very short amount of time. To this day, friends and family are not only raving about the elegance and class of our wedding but also about the helpful and friendly wedding planning staff.

Missy/Antonia Christianson Events went ABOVE and BEYOND my expectations for a wedding planner. My fiance and I had met with several other wedding planners and felt that we would have to "settle" with them, but then we came across Antonia Christianson Events. I put an inquiry into the website and Missy personally called me herself to discuss my wedding. She and her staff always went above and beyond to make sure all of my questions and needs were met. What I truly appreciated the most was their responsiveness. As a bride, I was stressed and had numerous questions, and Missy always responded promptly to all (I had tons) of my emails and phone calls and was so helpful. Missy was also incredibly helpful reccomending vendors and helping me create a budget. I cannot imagine planning a wedding without a wedding planner, and I cannot imagine having a wedding without having Missy/Antonia Christianson Events plan it. They made my day 100% perfect and stress free. Words cannot express my happiness and satisfaction. I highly recommend Antonia Christianson Events to anyone getting married. Forget the rest... they are the BEST! -Virginia T.

I hired Antonia Christianson Events to help make my wedding day run smoothly. I used the Day of Cordinator services that they provide. Missy and her staff are absolutely amazing! Missy was very knowledgable and resourceful. She helped give ideas and reccommedations whenever I needed them. The day of my wedding could not have been any more perfect. Missy and her staff were worth every penny! They were the entire day of the wedding from start to finish. I did not have to worry about a thing.

Missy and her team were true professionals throughout the entire process of my wedding! Our wedding would not have been all that it was without her. From the beginning, she listened to our hopes for the day and our overall vision. Little by little, she helped us fill in the details and matched us up with great vendors that would not only add to our dream but also fit in our budget! My husband and I are very thankful for this! She encouraged me to aim high with my expectations and what I wanted but helped me find ways to do it within my budget....something that can be tough. Her team created a month by month timeline for me to follow and the day of the celebration she took care of everything. From setting up at the venue, to making sure that my vendors were taken care of, to tending to each of my guests and to making sure that my husband and I had anything that we needed....Missy and her team had it taken care of! I never could have brought my vision to reality without her and I definitely would not have enjoyed my day nearly as much without her! Her advice is honest, her humor is comforting and her attention to detail is amazing! I would highly recommend Antonia Christianson Events to anyone!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Missy and her team. They went above and beyond on my wedding day and made it one of the most memorable and beautiful experiences of our lives. Missy made every detail of our wedding unique and breahtaking, from the attention to detail and the helpfulness of her staff, it truly was amazing. Missy was available to me whenever I needed her and without her advice, excellent referrals and vision, our wedding day would not have been the same. She knew exactly what kind of wedding we were envisioning and turned it into a reality. I would highly recommended Missy for any bride to be looking for someone to assist. Missy is truly one of a kind and you won't find better in VA! Tori and Ryan Edwards

Missy and her team were excellent! They took care of everything for our wedding ceremony and reception, allowing my mom, my family and me to just enjoy the day and soak it all in! We loved not having to worry about anything! It was a perfect day! I will forever look back on our wedding with joyful memories! Thank you Antonia Christianson Events!

This is the BEST WEDDING PLANNING SERVICE AVAILABLE!! VERY NICE PEOPLE TO WORK WITH! MADE THE WHOLE PROCESS VERY STRESS FREE, WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE PLANNING A WEDDING OR OTHER BIG EVENT!!

Loved, loved, loved every contact with this wonderful group of ladies! Would highly recommend!!!!!

Thanks to Missy and her events team, every detail of my wedding was absolutely PERFECT! I told her that i wanted a simple, rustic, fall themed wedding. She knew exactly what vendors to use for flowers, menu cards, linens, table decorations, even where to procure the perfect dress for me, and most of all the location. Missy arranged for us to be married in a small private garden with beautiful statuary and all my favorite flowers. We spoke our vows surrounded by friends and family, love was all around, and i will never forget how personal and intimate it felt to to stand there at that moment. Our ceremony was followed up by a bridal lunchon. The food was delicious, the waitstaff gracious and the fall colored decorations were breath taking. For my wedding day Missy created a fairytale and cast me as the princess! I couldn't have ask for anything more, it was just perfect!

Missy and her team provided a exceptional services to provide an unforgettable experience. She was always there to lend a helping hand and calm my nerves, even on a short notice wedding. She lead me to amazing vendors, and provided insight that I would have never had if I did not use her services. I would highly recommend Antonia Christianson Events to any bride-to-be!

I cannot say enough how amazing of a planner Missy at ACE is. She advised me every step of the way, well above what she needed to do, giving me advice from how to design the hall, logistics, and even what my mother should wear to the church! She listened to my gripes and complaints, and had an answer for every question I had. She was super organized, knowledgeable and was best of all, honest with me. Being a long-distance bride (NYC), I felt confident that she tied up all of the loose ends in Virginia. She has a great eye for design, understood my vision perfectly and was able to execute all of the details like I would have done myself. My wedding was a mix of American and Nigerian traditions, and 600 guests. She handled all the logistics, last minute emergencies and the cultural aspects of the wedding with grace. Her team of assistants made sure that everything moved smoothly, and all the guests were happy. (With a wedding that large, that isn’t easy!) In short, Missy was amazing. I would recommend her to any bride who wants a worry-free wedding day, with a planner you can be confident in. ~ Dana and Nonye

Missy and her team did an amazing job in making our wedding the way we envisioned it. We can truly say "we wouldn't have changed a thing". She did a great job and was always available.

For the 18 months leading up to our wedding Missy, the owner of Antonia Christianson Events (ACE), walked us through ever step of the process. She was there for me to bounce ideas off of, suggested specific vendors in our budget range, and was responsible for the complete set up and direction of the wedding day. She became a true friend during the planning process and I trusted her with every detail that I envisioned for my big day. After learning that there was only a 2 hour flip time at our venue, Missy and her ACE team were amazing and brought together the whole reception design in the ballroom, as well as directing our guests to the correct waiting area before the ceremony then leading them up to the deck for seating. Missy was able to remove all stress from me, my mom and all of my immediate family members. A wedding planner is worth the expense for that alone. Without Missy and her ACE team my big day may have been filled with negative emotions and stress. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I would have had the reception design I did without her services. She executed the entire day flawlessly and I am so grateful for that. I advise every new bride I meet to consider a wedding planner. A friend of the family who only has experience throwing community pool parties will not know the stress that can come up during the wedding day. An experienced wedding planner should be in EVERY bride's budget, even if it's for a Month of/Day of service. However, if your wedding is in the Virginia Beach area I highly recommend Missy and her ACE team for your planning needs. You will literally feel the weight lifted from your shoulders once you hear all about their services.

Missy is amazing. I wanted a planner because I had a lot on my plate at the time, but still wanted to do most of the planning. Missy tailored her services to "month-of" where I contracted with the vendors and we would meet a few times just to go over details, decor, etc. Thank goodness I had her because she made me aware of sooo many things I hadn't thought of, got to know me, recommended some great vendors, and gave me great ideas along the way. The day of the wedding Missy and her staff sprung into action. By getting to know me, she knew what I wanted, what I didn't, and was able to make independent decisions that were the same decisions I would've made. I didn't have to make the decisions and I was able to not have to think about it at all so I could truly enjoy my day. I got rave reviews from friends and family and I owe it to Missy. She was worth every penny for the professionalism and peace of mind she provided!

Antonia (Missy) and her staff were absolutely amazing. Being a bride who was constantly behind on planning the details for my wedding, Missy helped me bring everything together and made my big day a success. She had tons of ideas and tips for me throughout the planning process and was always there to answer my questions. The Antonia Christianson Event Staff ran my wedding from start to finish and made sure that everything was exactly as I wanted it to be, without me having to worry about it. I would recommend her services to any bride!

Missy was great to work with! I hired her for day of coordination but she went above and beyond what her contracted duties were. She works day and night to provide her brides the best service and will answer emails sometimes a minute after you send them. My wedding would not have been anywhere near as beautiful without Missy and her team!

Missy and her team were a joy to work with! Missy is very organized, knowledgeable, and puts your mind at ease. I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone that is getting married.

Although she was there as a guest, my good friend Missy helped out with making sure the ladies looked great (as they always do), the kids were ready and everyone was where they were supposed to be when it came time for the ceremony to begin. Thank you Missy and I can't wait to work with you again. Just at other people's weddings :).

I cannot say enough great things about Missy. She was flexible, hard-working, very much "on top of things," helpful, and absolutely wonderful to work with. I recommend her services to any and everyone who wants their wedding to run smoothly. My wedding was everything that I dreamed of.
