I don't think my wedding would have ever ran so smooth if it weren't for EAP. Christine Viola paired me up with wedding planner, Annie Fonseca, and I couldn't be happier. From the moment Annie and I met, she made me feel secure and assured me that she would be with me every step of the way. She never left my side. She was always very responsive to my emails, phone calls and even my texts. She even attended vendor meetings with me. My father passed away 11 years ago, and my biggest fear was that I was not going to make it through the day due to my emotions. Up until the wedding, Annie comforted me and gave me advice on how to deal with the situation at hand. I couldn't have asked for more! She truly went above and beyond to make it all possible for me, my husband and my family!I also worked very closely with Laurie, who creates different kinds of stationary at EAP. She also went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the end product. She produced my save the dates, table numbers, seating charts, favor tags and menus. Everything was beautifully coordinated and produced in excellent timing.Thank you Annie, Laurie & Christine for making it all possible for me & my husband!

I hired Tara to provide partial wedding planning services as I needed help selecting/managing vendors, managing/allocating my budget, and coordinating the big day. Tara was great. She has an amazing book of vendors. For example, before hiring her, I had already met with 5 photographers and was driving myself nuts. After I hired her, we met with one photographer who met all of my criteria and the pricing for photo and video was less than what I was getting for photo on my own. Tara also recommended my DJ, limo and shuttle van service. She was very good at keeping me in line when I wanted things that were clearly out of my budget. I am an impulse buyer and therefore having her there as my voice of reason was important for keeping me in budget. Tara was also great at the rehearsal and the day of the wedding. Her timeline was spot on, my hair stylist also said that its the best timeline he has seen. Tara was also great in dealing it my not-so-great florist. Tara recommeded her florist but I decided to go with the florist recommended by the venue, a decision that I now regret. After the wedding, Tara followed-up with the florist to ensure that I would get my money back and I did. I was so thankful to have her handle that situation while I was honeymooning. Highly recommended!

We worked with Christine at EAP and from start to finish, she never failed to impress with her knowledge, responsiveness, care and attention to detail. Her organizational skills were remarkable and because of her services, I felt confident the entire week of the wedding that every last detail was under control. She is supremely knowledgeable about all venues and vendors in NYC and extrordinarily accessible and quick to respond! I am so thankful to have worked with Christine for my wedding!!

I hired EAP to coordinate the day of my wedding... best decision i made!!! I worked with Christine who was so extremely helpful the day of! She took care of everything for me, which made me so worry-free the day of the wedding! I could not have been happier with the services she provided to me and just the overall feeling that day of knowing everything was in good hands! I would HIGHLY recommend EAP to every bride out there! They will make your day go so smoothly so you get to enjoy every single minute of it!

What can I say but that I agree 100% with all the rave reviews? Christine was the ideal day-of coordinator in every respect: totally organized, helpful, cheerful, and calm, both during the planning process and on the day of the wedding. The little suggestions she made along the way saved us tons of money, and she was always available by email to answer my dumb questions about details. I shudder to think what we would have done without her--and this is coming from someone who didn't get the point of day-of coordinators until we met Christine. If I have one regret about my wedding, it's that we didn't hire Christine and her team to manage the ENTIRE process. Doing so would have saved us so much money and stress!

Christine was truly amazing--she thought of things I never would have planned for (and I consider myself a very careful person!). She was on top of everything, from contracts to budgets to dates. I can't imagine what my wedding would have been like without her. The best thing is that Christine is warm and open-minded, so even though she's doing all the boring nitty-gritty stuff (e.g. negotiating with vendors), you still end up with your own vision for the wedding.

Words cannot express how grateful my husband and I are for having Christine and her team be a part of our wedding. I always felt so lucky when I heard friends and colleagues go on and on about how stressful wedding planning was, as the entire process of planning our wedding was managed effortlessly by Exquisite Affairs. We actually got to enjoy and have fun with it all, and never had a concern or worry, as Christine and her team were on top of every detail from start to finish. The best part was that Christine became a friend, and someone who we could truly trust and share in our joy with, which is more than my husband and I ever expected from a wedding planner. Thank you tons to our incredible team at EAP - makes us want to have another wedding!

Christine Viola and Exquisite Affairs Productions were wonderful to work with! I am so glad we decided to move forward with a wedding planner. The day was perfect and seamless. Christine is an infectious presence to have around and ALWAYS entertained every minute detailed question we had thrown her way. Not only did we always look forward to meeting her, but we would often stray off of the subject of the wedding since she had become such a welcome, comforting friend in addition to a wedding planner.Christine's excellent taste in choice is reflected in her staff. We partnered with Exquisite Affairs to create our invitations/wedding stationery and Laurie Coreas did an amazing job. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to communicate my vision with elegance (since it involved robots) but they turned out exactly as I would have wanted them and we received a ton of compliments on the unique way we presented ourselves.Christine's experience is reflected in her encyclopedic knowledge of wedding venues and vendors. She was able to pinpoint our tastes and style very quickly on and keep us onbudget! The only complaint I can voice is that my husband and I cannot get married multiple times in a year and use her services on a daily basis!

Christine is the absolute best!!!!! She went above and beyond the call of duty! I used her for day of event but she met with my fiancé and I on numerous occasions and even joined us on an appointment with a vendor. She would answer my calls, texts and emails immediately. I was relaxed and at ease the day of my wedding knowing she had it under control!! Highly recommended!

I hired Christine for my 7/30/11 wedding as a "day of" coordinator and I could not have been happier. On first communication, she was nothing but kind, honest, and helpful. Leading up to my big day she helped wrangle in my vendors and provided a comprehensive itinerary that made it impossible for anyone in our bridal party to have any questions. On the actual day of she was key in band aid placing, stain removing, tip and payment distributing and making sure we stayed on track with time. I couldn't have been happier and was well worth it.

Christine was WONDERFUL to work with! She helped our day run so smoothly. I didn't have to worry about a thing knowing that Christine was in charge. We would've been lost without her! My family and friends are still commenting on how great she was! Thank you so much!

My wedding planning was really rough. We had so many unexpected bumps in the road, including a glitch with our wedding venue where we had to change venues two months before our wedding date, and Annie and Christine and Tara at EAP were with us every step of the way to make sure that everything was perfectly smooth the day of the wedding. As far as EAP being a value, I would say it was easily one of the wisest things we spent our money on. They gave us a checklist a few weeks before the wedding, which made us realize exactly what loose ends we needed to tie up and what we needed to address - things we never would have thought of, which was a huge help. And the day of the wedding, they made sure everything was executed flawlessly - I'm pretty hands on, and it's not like they made themselves invisible, which I appreciated, they just knew where everyone was and had everything scheduled perfectly so I wasn't worried about any of that. And I need to give a TON of credit to Laurie, their in-house designer who made our invitations at literally half the cost of most of the other vendors I looked at (including print-your-own and Etsy vendors). She would respond to all my emails within 24 hours (all the ladies would, actually) and we had gorgeous invitations, which had to be reprinted as a result of our venue change, and which Laurie redesigned in a day.We also used their recommendation for our wedding photographer, Yun Gen Yang, and he was amazing. So not only are we so grateful for the help they gave us the day-of, but they gave us two excellent vendor suggestions that we were thrilled with.

EAP and Christine was exactly what we needed to help us with the demands of planning a wedding. We've gotten a lot of positive feedback from our guests and have already referred other brides to her. Great job!

Christine and EAP is FABULOUS!!!! They are a great resource for planning, and they take all your worries away the day of....letting you truly enjoy your wedding day!! I would recommend Christine five million times over!!

Christine is AMAZING! The best decision I made when planning my wedding was to call EAP. The whole wedding planning process was so easy and the day of the wedding I did not have to worry about one thing because Christine and her wonderful staff were there to coordinate everything. I highly recommend her services. She really is the best!

Tara from EAP was an amazing coordinator. I hired EAP for day-of coordinating services, but Tara was so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped me find my hair stylist, makeup artist and florist with her knowledgeable and honest recommendations. She recommended those vendors she had worked with before, and all of those vendors trusted her. The vendors she recommended were alll amazing, and not least of all, Tara was amazing.The whole wedding planning process can be really stressful, but she is so organized and helpful. I am a huge control and organizational freak, and I needed someone to be like me on the day of the wedding so I wouldn't have to worry about it. She had everything together, kept us all on time and helped everything run smoothly, from being the main contact for all of the vendors on the day of the wedding to removing my veil for the reception without messing up my hair.She was so much more than just a day-of coordinator, and all of my bridesmaids even noted how great she was to have around. I highly recommend Tara and EAP for day-of coordination - it is an awesome value - at the time, it cost only $750 for everything that she did. There was no limit on communication - I emailed her constantly throughout the year before my wedding, and she was always very responsive in a timely fashion.

I worked with Annie from EAP and she was amazing! I had her as my day-of-wedding coordinator and she made everything run smoothly...there were absolutely no problems at all!! It was all just as I had imagined it would go. Working with Annie was such a breeze, she came over to my apartment beforehand for a meeting to go over the timeline for the wedding day, and it felt really comfortable and natural having her involved. On the Big Day it was just as if she was one of my friends helping my get ready. Even though she is super friendly and easy to get along with, you can also tell that she takes her job very seriously and she definitely was not afraid to speak up if something/someone was not in their proper place. She was also always there, at any moment, that I needed her (not sure how she manages to be in a million places at once!) and it was a great comfort to me to have her by my side. Annie is wonderful and I highly recommend her to any bride out there!!

Chrstine is very organized and knows all the right vendors. Her advise is spot on and should be followed. If you do take her advice then you will have very little or no stress!

I can\'t begin to tell you how happy I am that we went with EAP!!! My Husband & I just got married a few weeks ago here in NYC & it was amazing. We had a tight budget (especially for NY)- and needed to pay for EVERYTHING for our wedding ourselves A-Z. We are both in our late 20\'s so obviously budget was our biggest hurdle. I tried for about 6 months to plan everything on my own & am pretty proud of what we found & started to plan without outside help.. but the time came when finding every vendor to fit our budget, figure out every little detail & manage everything while working a very demanding job - became too much. As you all know planning a wedding takes on its own LIFE - & I wanted my life back (to some degree). I found EAP through these wedding boards & met with Christine. I immediately started to breath again. She knew exactly what we were going though, and knew that everything would be figured out WITHIN our budget & we could stop freaking out. We hired EAP with the \"Partial Planning Package\" since we had already secured our venue & some other big pieces. For the past 8 months we have sent countless emails to each other, she\'s been to my apt multiple times, she has managed our to do lists, budgets, vendors, contracts, ect. Granted I still had stuff to do on my end, but now I had my own personal Google for all my wedding needs. I could ask her anything & everything & she knew what to do or which vendor to use.\r\n\r\nBut then came our wedding day. May 28th 2011...he day we had been waiting for & working toward forever. \r\n\r\nI can tell you brides out there - honestly - YOU NEED TO HAVE A DAY OF COORDINATOR. I dont care WHAT your budget is - you HAVE to make it a priority. Because in doing so, you make YOURSELF a priority. You give yourself the gift of a NO stress day - a day full of love & laughter that YOU can actually enjoy. EAP will make sure that everything in the background runs smoothly so you dont have to even think about it. Christine & her staff will come fully prepared with everything you could POSSIBLY need for the day (in my case that meant a steamer for last minute dress touch ups - Phew). They will also take charge & manage everyone (including bmaids, mothers etc). They will make sure you eat, drink etc so you dont pass out (bc you WILL forget to eat!).They will be there ALL day - for your every need. I promise you - you will not be disappointed. I can honestly say it was worth EVERY penny.\r\n\r\nHappy Planning!
