Cristina Verger is a remarkable event planner. My wife and I attended a surprise 40th birthday party for one of our close friends in NYC’s famous Meatpacking District. Our friend is sophisticated, well-traveled, and very much in tune with what is en vogue. Once we arrived at the venue, it was evident that Cristina Verger, the event planner, had chosen a location that was a great representation of our friend’s personality, taste and expectations. We sat for dinner in a “semi private” area of the restaurant. This worked like a charm. Our bunch of about 14 felt like an intimate group in a restaurant scene featuring NYC’s trendy crowd. The music and the other patrons’ conversations made for an excellent background “noise” that enhanced our festive atmosphere while private waiting staff ensured timely and thorough service. Having traveled from Connecticut to NYC in the midst of a heavy snow storm in January of 2011 we were concerned that the bad weather could make the experience less enjoyable especially if we had to go to another location for an after party. Our fears were unfounded as the location that Cristina Verger had chosen had numerous floors and a variety of themes and ambiences. Think one-stop shopping, but in a truly amazing way… After the delicious dinner, we were ushered through a secret staircase which led to an exclusive nightclub downstairs. From the inside we could see a crowd of people braving the snow as they waited to get in. Hiring someone like Cristina with clear vision, great insight and extensive industry contacts definitely paid off. A number of tables had been reserved for us at the nightclub not too far from the bar and the dance area enabling us to comingle with other folks at the club if we felt like it. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely and we continued the party until the wee hours of the night. Cristina Verger’s numerous advance consultations with the chef resulted in a rich menu full of elegant options. Also, the selection of one single venue with a slew of different choices made the party very convenient to attend without compromising the uniqueness of each aspect of our friend’s birthday celebration. We had all parked right outside of the restaurant and did not have to worry about transportation to get to the after party. Those of us that have ever tried to find a cab in NYC in the middle of a snow storm at 2 AM know that it could be an almost impossible task. I would definitely hire Cristina Verger as my event planner in the future. She truly understands what her clients hope to achieve and helps them make their visions a reality; not an easy task given the demanding and tough standards in NYC. Everyone’s expectations were surpassed and we left feeling like we had just experienced something that we were not aware was possible.

Cristinas reputation for being an incredible event planner way preceded my meeting her in that capacity. And I was thrilled she agreed to take over the planning of my annual May party. I always take care of the organization myself but this was a very special occasion and I realized I needed help. I must admit I was blown away by what a difference her knowledge and expertise made. All the little details I often disregard but that are so important to making a party outstanding. The unusual approaches to the simplest ideas I would never have thought of. Her impeccable taste in the choice of the menu, the accessories and the flowers. The choice of the music provider that really made the party! All of my guests agreed this party really stood out from my former gatherings and was voted the best party of last few years. I had over 100 people enjoying the setting and the food and dancing until late into the night. I don’t have enough words to thank her for the incredible job she did and for putting up with my constant second guessing when there really was no need....She knows her stuff and was able to transform my vision into a tangible reality. She is professional, patient and respectful. Her network of vendors is amazing and she is thoroughly loved in the industry. She manages to get priority and exceptional service from everybody: the florist, to the food specialist, the rental establishments and the staff. I highly recommend her for any size event and when my daughter will get married I hope Christina will be available to be her wedding planner.

I wanted a wedding planner who was very efficient and down to earth, but also creative. Somebody who would listen to what I wanted and not only make it happen, but make it better. I researched a lot of wedding planners and was impressed by the range of weddings that Cristina had planned. Her experience in many locations assured me that although I was getting married locally in Westchester, Cristina was more than able to rise to any challenges that might occur - and a big snow storm certainly didnt have her skip a beat! When I first met with with Cristina I immediately felt comfortable and knew I could trust her to make sure that everything went smoothly and I did not have to worry about any details or coordinating - I could simply enjoy my wedding. Of course Cristina had excellent contacts and was very efficient and super-organized, but she also made the whole process very enjoyable. It was a lot of fun to work with her.

It is a colloquial saying in business that ‘the customer is always right;” however, in our case Cristina Verger and her team are always right! My unreserved recommendation goes to Cristina Verger and her team. The day of our wedding we felt like guests ourselves! There was nothing to worry about; we knew Cristina Verger and her team had everything covered. Somehow Cristina managed to be everywhere and nowhere all at once. There were so many intricate details that Cristina had a keen eye for that neither of us were able to foresee, until we saw everything come together the day of our wedding. Shocked doesnt even begin to cover it, Cristina left us completely speechless. She kept our needs in mind but more importantly the needs of our guests. If you are looking for a wedding planner you need not look any further. Cristina Verger is all we could have asked for and more.

My husband and I hired Cristina to plan our 3 day wedding celebration at Capella Pedregal in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Due to the fact we are from Vancouver, Canada and Cristina is based in New York a lot of the planning was done over the phone, by email and a few meetings in Cabo. Despite this complication, Cristina was always available to speak and responded to all emails promptly which made working with her an easy process. My husband and I had a specific vision of what we wanted for our wedding and Cristina made all our wishes come to life. Our wedding, welcome party, and rehearsal dinner were beautiful, elegant, modern and exactly what we hoped for. She was able to take our vision and work with the amazing staff at Capella to create a truly magical experience that we, along with our guests, will never forget. We would highly recommend Cristina Verger to anyone!

I had the good fortune of working with Cristina Verger on a wedding in Aspen, Colorado this winter. Alone, destination weddings can be difficult to plan, but when you add winter storms and elevations of over 11,000 feet into the mix, you demand THE BEST and expect that your planner will go above-and-beyond to ensure a memorable experience for all. You will find this in Cristina Verger. Cristina expertly orchestrated a one-of-a-kind wedding atop Aspen Mountain, exuding impeccable taste and unbound creativity. Cristina ensured the entire weekend celebration was nothing less than flawless, where the bride and groom departed with a lifetime of memories. Cristina is the epitome of grace and professionalism, and I am privileged to have worked with her on of this special celebration. I would be truly honored to collaborate with Cristina again in the future.
