I cannot thank Christina and her assistant Sarah enough for making my day go so smoothly. From the moment I decided to hire Christina for my Day Of Coordination a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. Even though Christina is based in Philadelphia, she was so in tune with everything and everyone involved in my NYC wedding that if it weren’t for her cell phone area code I would have never known. I could not have gotten through the day without Christina and Sarah's guidance and professionalism. It rained the day of my wedding and knowing I had my heart set on an outdoor ceremony Christina did everything she could to try to make it happen. She zipped between set up and my bridal suite -- communicating progress and details every step of the way (even texting me pictures while I was in hair & makeup). When mother nature refused to let me have my ceremony on the roof, she seamlessly led everyone into the "plan b" tent and made sure it all went off without a hitch. They kept things moving through out the evening and stayed thru cleanup. I woke up in the morning to find everything from the wedding neatly packed and labeled in my bridal suite. I truly appreciate everything Christina and Sarah did for my wedding and would encourage anyone that may be on the fence about Day Of coordination to go for it and call C.Hill. It is more than worth it!

I can’t begin to describe my relationship with Christina Hill, principle coordinator of cHill weddings. What began as a simple client/consultant partnership quickly and seamlessly turned into friendship.Initially, we hired Christina in addition to the planners provided to us by our location. During the initial phases of our planning we had several problems and wanted her to work on our behalf, almost as an advocate. We soon learned all that Christina (and her team!) was able, willing and eager to offer us. Christina had personal relationships with each of the vendors she put us in contact with. More often than not, accompanying us to our meetings and helping us make informed, thoughtful decisions about our day.More times than a few, Christina went far above and beyond what she was asked. And addressed or avoided problems before they became an issue. Needless to say, that if there was indeed a problem on our wedding day, no one, including me, knew about it.On top of that, is her genuine sincere love of her job and clients. Each time we spoke she encouraged and offered assistance with each of my numerous wedding projects, including the one I decided to take on a mere 24 hours prior to my nuptials. We (my husband and I) often felt that we must have been the only clients she had, knowing full well that we weren’t. I fancy myself an organized, meticulous, detailed oriented person and Christina often remembered details or ideas that even I forgot. Our wedding day was flawless. Everything that I had dreamed of, worried about and hoped for came to life. I know that it wouldn’t have without Christina. The “cherry on top” was when she pulled us away from the hustle and bustle and let us take it all in. Your wedding day is a blur, to say the least, and the most memorable moments that I have are ones that Christina created: after our ceremony she had a private location just for my husband and me to embrace our newlywed-ness or when she snuck us away from our family photos to see the spectacular reception area. Those precious, private moments that so often get overlooked are now mine to hold, thanks only to Christina.I understand all those who think “I can do this on my own”. Truthfully, you probably can if you want to have constant wedding nightmares, sub-par vendors and a stressful, confusing wedding day. Or you can find a partner, a friend in Christina Hill, who will be your “go-to girl”, confidant and friend.If you are looking for the best of the best, the crème de la crème so to speak, look no further than Christina Hill and her amazing team. It will make your wedding planning journey memorable (rather than miserable) and very, very “cHill”. Thank you, Christina (and team!) from the bottom of our hearts. We are eternally grateful for your generosity, sincerity and kindness. We love you.

Our wedding day went off without a hitch because of Christina and Chill Weddings. She was our day-of-coordinator and I am so thankful she was there! She took care of everything, whether it was alphabetizing the place cards to making sure Mike and I had a few moments to enjoy a private bite to eat before the cocktail reception. Christina has an amazing there's-no-problem-I-can't-tackle attitude that makes it easy to trust her and put your wedding day in her highly capable hands (despite meeting only once prior!). She allowed for my husband, our moms and me to truly enjoy the day, instead of worrying about logistics, for which we are all extremely grateful. I would highly recommend Christina for any Philadelphia area bride!

Well, this is long overdue - and to be quite honest, hard to write. Words cannot describe how extremely happy my husband and I were with the service Christina and her staff provide as well as the high esteem we hold for them. From the moment we met, I knew Christina was the only person I could trust to coordinate the events of my wedding day. After all, I put so much time, detail and quite frankly a lot of blood, sweat and tears in making this day perfect. I knew that all the hard work would be for naught if I spent my wedding day obsessed with the details. Though I see myself as somewhat a perfectionist, Christina made me feel comfortable enough to relinquish control and put the execution of the day’s details in her hands. Boy, I am glad I did.Christina’s professionalism, organization and the fact that she genuinely cares about her clients came shining through. She was responsive, pleasant to work with and exuded a calmness that put the entire bridal party at ease. She and her team went above and beyond on all fronts; whether emergency runs to the drug store during the reception or helping to connect me with some last minute vendors the weeks prior to the big day. We are also sure she shielded us from some wedding day drama. This was the best decision we made and we would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks again to Christina and team for all their hard work and attention to every little detail. The wedding day was flawless and cHill Weddings executed our vision perfectly.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Melissa and EdSeptember 18, 2010

I can't say enough wonderful things about Christina and her team at cHill Weddings. We used Christina as our day-of-coordinator and her service was impeccable. She went above and beyond just helping us the day of. She made sure all of our vendors knew the appropriate details so that everyone was on the same page. Christina was always available to answer any questions that I had. We had so many fine details to our wedding and she made sure that every single one was included. She made the day flow smoothly so that I didn't have to worry about anything but having fun. Our wedding day started off extremely rainy which had me in tears (since most of our wedding was outdoors), but Christina was there to reassure me that everything was going to be great. She was quick to make the appropriate adjustments so that our guest wouldn't be standing in the rain. Christina and her team did a flawless job of setting up and communicating with our vendors. Not only were we happy with cHill Weddings but our caterer (Limoncello's of West Chester, PA) was immensely impressed with their service. My husband did not want to hire a coordinator and I had to practically beg him to even meet with one, but in the end he finally confessed to me that we couldn't have done it without Christina and her team. We both agreed that it was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding. We couldn't have chosen a better coordinator!

we worked with tasha bunch as our day-of wedding coordinator last may 2010. i contacted christina at chill weddings in march 2010 when i quickly came to the conclusion that i would need help on the big day! luck was on our side because she still had that spot available! we had a great experience with the whole team at chill weddings. they were quick to respond to emails and they were very detailed in their preparations; we felt they went above and beyond to make sure that our vision for our wedding came true. in hindsight, getting a day-of coordinator was the best money i spent to get peace of mind during our wedding and to not burden our family and wedding party with all the nitty gritty. tasha and her team executed our plans the way we had layed out and kept us on schedule throughout the day. best of luck in your wedding planning!

We weren't sure that we wanted to hire a wedding coordinator at first, our budget was tight and we had already planned much of the wedding ourselves. We are so thankful, though, that we had Tasha as our day-of coordinator. We met with her a couple of times before the wedding. She was patient as we all (Mom, Groom, Bride) explained our vision and the things that were most important to us. She always answered our questions promptly through email and thought of a few questions that we might not have come up with on our own. On the day of the wedding we decided to give up control and enjoy ourselves. Tasha and her assistant, Sara, made that possible and executed the behind-the-stage stuff so we didn't have to worry about it. Our venue staff said that they really enjoyed working with her because she was clear and organized. Thanks Tasha, Sara, and Christina for making our day go smoothly.

I always thought I would plan my wedding on my own, but when Larry and I decided to get married in Philadelphia, I knew I would need help, both with finding vendors who fit our budget and style and with the actual logistics of the day. When we first met Christina, we clicked immediately and I knew we would be in good hands. Her ideas and suggestions were invaluable to the whole planning process. We had already booked our ceremony and reception sites, but filling in the details that would make our wedding personal is where Christina assisted us the most. We gave her our budget and she led us to our fantastic caterer, the event rental company, wonderful florist, talented photographers, reception entertainment, invitation designer and printer, and my hair and make-up artists. As with all event planning, every aspect of the wedding did not work out smoothly, but Christina was always calm and able to offer a solution to any problem that arose. She was only a phone call away when any concern crept up and was happy to discuss it or reassure me when I needed it. Not only was Christina helpful in planning the wedding, but she and her team insured a smooth wedding day. Our wedding reception site was just that - a place to have a reception - and so much work was needed to complete it before the evening began. Christina and her team oversaw the set-up of the reception and the ceremony, as well as kept an eye on the shuttles we had provided for our guests for that day. I remained blissfully unaware of any issues that morning or evening and was able to truly enjoy my wedding day. Our wedding was everything we had hoped it would be and we owe a great deal to Christina!

I've tried to write this review many times but its hard. When it comes to Christina's service i am speechless. It is much easier to write something when things dont go our way or if there are problems during the planning process or day-of. Aside from one or 2 glitches with other vendors (which Christina took care of seamlessly) everything went so smoothly. While other brides may start stressing a month or 2 out, my mind was at ease until maybe the last few days leading up to the wedding, and those were really due to nerves more then anything else. Christina found vendors that matched our style AND or budget. She matched us with Andrew our photographer, Brown Betty our baker, Natalie for hair, Mila for makeup, Robert Ryans our caterer/venue, and Magical Sights & Sounds or DJ. I also probably threw her for a loop when I requested a filipino and korean dance troupe, but she delivered. That's basically our entire wedding. What would i have done without her. Additionally, her and her team arranged our centerpieces with the flowers we provided. Could we have asked for anything more?On the day of, if there were any problems i never knew. All the vendors were set up and ready when they needed to be. Everything looked gorgeous. And most importantly Marc and I only had to worry about having fun. At the end of the night Christina and her staff collected all our wedding items which was one less thing to worry about.Every bride out there should know, there is no way to avoid the little hiccups along the way. The mark of a truly fabulous wedding planner is how he or she deals with them. Christina dealt with all of them flawlessly. I highly recommend her and her staff.

I contacted Christina for day of coordination services and we really cannot imagine our wedding without her help. My husband still raves that it was the most worthwhile thing we did. Christina was not available for our wedding, so Tasha was our coordinator and she was fabulous. They were both organized, yet relaxed and put me at ease from the first moment we met. We had an outdoor wedding at a friends farm, so there was a lot of work that needed to be done since this was not a traditional venue. My day ran just as planned and I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding. Our friends and family still rave that it was best wedding they have ever attended. I wish I could do a better job expressing how happy I was with Christina and Tasha- words really cannot do it justice.

Chillweddings LLC was an invaluable resource on our wedding day. Christina Hill & staff were especially key in helping us set up our reception room with floral decor since our florist was not able to set up. They worked with our overall theme & really made the entire wedding day smooth from beginning to end. We could not have done without CHILL weddings.Thanks so much for making our wedding day so special for us. I would highly recommend Chill weddings to brides!

Christina and her entire team are wonderful! Everything my fiance and I needed was taken care of in a timely and professional manner. She took care of everything from helping us select a venue for the wedding to checking us into our hotel on the night of our wedding!!! Christina is a pleasure to work with and takes care of even the smallest details!

Christina Hill was responsible for the day coordination of my wedding. She was fantastic, organized, and very dependable. My other vendors and family commented on how professional she and her assistant were. She really made me and my family feel at ease that day, and made sure to tackle any potential concerns I had. She even took the time to support my photographer in family photos since we have a huge family and he was a one man show. I could never thank her enough for all that she to assist in making my wedding day seemless, and wonderful for me and my husband.

Christina and her assistant we're incredible! We had our wedding at a beach house that we rented for the week. It was absolutely gorgeous and exactly what we wanted but by doing it this way as opposed to a typical wedding venue it is much more work. I met with Christina two days prior to the wedding and we did a whole walk through of how we saw the day flowing. She had already called all of my vendors and introduced herself and touched base with them. She was extremely professional and I felt very confidant that she was imagining everything the way we saw it. The day of Christina and her assistant arrived at the house early to direct the flow of traffic among all the vendors getting there and setting up on time. A lot of work had to be done, and while I was getting ready in the hotel and taking pictures never once did I think about any of the chaos going on in the house. I felt very reassured that Christina had it all under control. I was able to enjoy the entire morning with my family and friends drinking mimosas and taking pictures stress free. Once arriving at the house everything was perfect, the shuttles had gotten all the guest there on time, Christina made sure that the grooms family portraits were taken before the ceremony, the live musician was there playing for pre-ceremony, all the centerpieces were put together, and the tent was ready for cocktail hour. As we pulled up Christina gathered everyone together that need to walk down the aisle, she cued the musician to play the correct music and we had a breath taking ceremony.After the ceremony, cocktail hour followed in the tent while my new husband and I went off to take pictures. Christina made sure all our guests were directed into the tent and the musician was able to set up in the tent for cocktail as well. Once we came back from pictures, Christina came and checked in with me to make see if I was ready to be announced, she made sure the DJ knew we were coming and all the proper people and songs were played. As the night went on we had a blast and I never had one moment of stress or worry, and neither did my mother. My whole family was able to enjoy the entire night dancing, eating and drinking.It seemed if I ever needed something through the night either Christina or her assistant were right there before I had the chance to look for them. To me it was a flawless and perfectly smooth day, to Christina it may not have been, I'll never know because if a problem did arise she handled it without having to trouble the bride, groom, mother of the bride or anyone else. I would recommend having a coordinator to everyone, and I would absolutely recommend Christina and her team.

cHill Weddings was wonderful! She helped me find my DJ, my photographer, and my florist. She made itineraries and checklists. She emailed just to check in and see if I needed anything. She made sure that everything was set up at my venue the morning of. I'm sure there's a million little things that she did that I wasn't even aware of.It was amazing to go through my ceremony and reception without worrying about anything.

I would highly recommend Christina to any bride getting married. The only problem I had was with one of her assistants taking the wedding bands from the best man and then leaving them back at the hotel, causing the wedding to be late and causing me a lot of stress since she was in the car with me when she discovered she didn't have the rings. But Christina herself was beyond exceptional, a pleasure to work with. She found me some great vendors and she did an amazing job decorating our reception (which was no small task). Her other assistant was amazing as well, sewing my dress in the middle of the reception when the bustle came out and it ripped. Christina always responded back quickly to every crazy email and was a pleasure to work with. She truly is one of the best wedding planners in the area.

Christina and her assistant turned my wedding from a dream into a reality. She took care of any questions, table set-ups and ceremony set-ups as well as calmed my nerves. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help planning their wedding - she is honest and truly made my wedding a fairytale come true!

Working with Christina was a real pleasure and I felt like she went above and beyond the day-of coordination duties we hired her for. We were in contact a lot throughout our wedding planning which we did remotely as we live across the country. Christina was incredibly forthcoming with recommendations for other vendors for our various needs and was just a really nice ear to bounce ideas and concerns off. Our wedding was at my parents' house and a house wedding comes with any number of obstacles. I will probably never know just how hard Christina and her assistant worked that day but I think the fact that everything went smoothly for the most part has so much to do with them and the hard work that went into executing all of the details of our wedding. They were very equipped with the right technology to be able to keep in touch from various points of a rather expansive party area and we met all of our cues just fine.Our only let down was that the wedding was running very behind (I have no idea by how much because no one would tell me what time it was) due in part to the bus driver who was bringing our guests out from the city taking his own route instead of following the directions we supplied. So when the wedding ended all too soon, there was a lot of confusion surrounding the departure of the buses and my husband was literally running up and down the long driveway out to the buses handling the coordination. I blame myself for suggesting that we have the buses wait longer because then some people heard that and hung back and others were on the bus already but I guess I just wished we had some more help working through that miscommunication and I felt like we were given up on at that point. Overall, a real pleasure to work with, very smart and resourceful.
