Full event planning for celebrations of life.
Not just decor.
Vendors. Timeline. Floor plan. Guest flow. AV. Slideshows. MC coaching. Hybrid logistics. Keepsake programs. On-site coordination.
On the day, Christina is at the tech table. In the background. Cueing the caterer before the toast. Adjusting the playlist volume so nobody has to ask. Taping down cables before a single guest arrives.
The work only shows when it's missing.
Three ways to plan
the celebration they deserve.
Not sure which is right for you? That's what the first call is for. On average families reach out 4 to 6 weeks out — but the shortest turnaround Christina has done is 7 days.
You planned it. Christina runs it. She takes over on the day so your family can be completely, fully, undistractedly present.
- One handoff call to review all details
- Vendor confirmations — arrival times, on-site needs, parking
- Detailed event timeline built and shared
- Full day-of coordination — up to 8 hours on-site
- Christina and one event assistant
- All AV, media, and tech managed on the day
- First ones in. Last to leave.
You have some ideas. Christina fills the gaps, shapes the room, and disappears on the day so the room belongs to your family.
- Discovery call to understand scope and fit
- Two planning calls — exploring options, then decisions
- Shared event workbook — timeline, floor plan, decisions
- Ceremony structure and flow guidance
- MC coaching and best practices guide for speakers
- Vendor coordination and confirmation
- Full day-of coordination — up to 8 hours
- Keepsake materials and post-event file delivery
You tell Christina who they were. She builds everything around them — from the first call to the last vendor out the door.
- Discovery call + three planning calls
- Full shared event workbook
- Venue sourcing if needed
- All vendor sourcing, coordination, and confirmation
- MC coaching and speaker preparation
- Custom floor plan and decor direction
- Show slides — master ceremony media, tested end to end
- Full day-of coordination — up to 8 hours
- Ceremony recordings, media files, and keepsake delivery
- Post-event vendor follow-up and invoice management
All pricing is in CAD. Destination events, large-scale gatherings, and complex hybrid productions are quoted separately.
Most families have never planned
one of these before.
Some have never even attended one. Christina never says "we can do whatever you want" and leaves it there. She brings the questions, the framework, the starting point — something to react to, build from, and make your own.
She's found that families get more creative once the date, time, and venue are set. They can picture the room. Picture the guests. And start to think about what would actually feel like them.
That's where the real planning begins.
The parts families don't see
until they're missing.

Planning isn't linear.
Neither is our invoicing.
A cousin might step up to do the slideshow two weeks in. Someone who said they'd speak might drop out the day before. That's normal. Scope adjusts when plans do — and if someone drops out, we step in.
Everything below can be added at any point in the process.
Some families need everything.
Some need one thing done right.
