We had an amazing experience booking Christine for her paebaek service! We were initially going to DIY our paebaek, but thinking of the logistics, decor, and MC services in an area that does not readily provide those things (AZ) was starting to make my head spin. The moment I stumbled upon Christine's paebaek setup which was so gorgeous and unique and the fact that she would travel and provide MC services, I knew I had to make the call. Christine made the entire paebaek seamless, engaging, and thoughtful. One of the most thoughtful things she did was that she knew we wanted to have a fusion tea ceremony as I am Vietnamese and my husband is Korean. She went out of her way to incorporate Vietnamese elements to the paebaek, which I really appreciated! Christine is also very flexible with regards to travel arrangements/fees and I highly recommend if you need her paebaek service and you are located outside of CA!
We hired Christine for the Paebaek (Traditional Tea Ceremony) for our wedding.
She was very kind, understanding, and professional throughout the entire process from beginning to end.
I only wish I had known about her other services prior so I could have hired her to coordinate and plan our wedding.
I highly recommend Christine for any of her services
If you or your partner have Korean roots, adding a Korean ceremony to your wedding is a great idea. It’s a fun way to weave in your culture, entertain your guests, and the photos will be amazing! A big thanks to Christine, Susan, and Janet for making it such a delightful experience!
We had the pleasure of having Christine arrange our tea ceremony for our wedding and we could not have been more happy with how it turned out. Christine was flexible with our needs and was able to accommodate a mix of both Korean and Vietnamese culture into the ceremony and the set up looked amazing. The attention to detail in every aspect of the service, from the selection of high-quality decorations to the traditional utensils used, is truly remarkable. She was able to walk us through the entire ceremony and we did not feel stressed at all during the ceremony and it went so smoothly.Christine's passion for her business shines through, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and enriching. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the traditional or not so traditional tea ceremony from live.love.create!
We cannot thank Live.Love.Create enough for their help with our big day. We had the pleasure of working with Christine and Janet and they were extremely attentive to our emails, prioritized our vision and made our wedding as special as ever! The reason we chose Live.Love.Create was because, as a Korean/American interracial couple, we wanted to incorporate some Korean traditions into our wedding day. However, we wanted to find a set-up with a little more modern colors that would match our wedding decor because we wanted to hold our tea ceremony as a focal point in the middle of our reception space. Initially, we considered DIYing our own paebaek set up and found inspo pictures on Pinterest that turned out to be Live.Love.Create's set. On a whim, we reached out to see if there was a possibility that they could travel to Texas so we wouldn't go through the trouble and stress of DIYing. We then found out that they were JUST planning to launch their Texas location! It was extremely serendipitous and we are so grateful to have been able to include Live.Love.Create in our wedding day. We look forward to using them again as we grow our family in the future! We would highly recommend working with Live.Love.Create. I can guarantee you won't regret it!
My wife and I loved working with Christine to create a wonderful Korean first birthday event celebrating our child. Christine is very professional and easy to communicate with. My wife and I had never planned such a large event before but Christine easily grasped our likes, dislikes, priorities, and budget. She has great overall taste and has an eye for aesthetics. She told us early on that her goal was to minimize stress for us as parents and be able to enjoy the process of planning the event and be able to enjoy the event itself. She absolutely succeeded in that goal. Not only did we enjoy working with Christine herself, we had positive experiences with all members of her team and all vendors we utilized.
I had the absolute best time working with Christine at Live Love Create! She effortlessly brought my vision to life and meticulously planned every detail of my event. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free, thanks to her professionalism, creativity and the relationships she has with all the vendors to bring my dream event to reality. Not only did Christine bring my vision to life, but she also added her own creative touches that elevated the entire experience. If you're looking for an event planner who will exceed your expectations and ensure you have the best time while planning, have Christine and her team at Live Love Create help you.
Christine and her team helped bring my Greek Korean American wedding come into reality! All of my guests from all over the world said the Korean ceremony was their favorite part of the reception and I have Christine to thank for that! She was extremely professional and accommodating to what I envisioned and did all that she could to bring that splash of Korean culture to the shores of Greece :) I would recommend her 100 times over to anyone interested in doing a Paebaek ceremony with a more modern color palette. My husband and I didn't have to worry at all about the prep for the Paebaek because Christine and her team flawlessly set up, guided us through the ceremony, and cleaned up right after making way for the flow of the rest of the reception. Christine was not only professional, but she was also such a delightful person to work with and I look forward to working with her again in the future :)
We had our wedding in April 2023 and had the pleasure of working with Live Love Create for our month-of coordination service. We had our initial meeting and conversation with Christine Chang (founder) who answered our questions and made us feel comfortable. She did not pressure us into committing to their services and instead guided us in a direction that was reasonable for our situation (which we appreciated). Mari Nguyen was our month-of-coordinator and we cannot thank her enough for her help! She was accommodating to our schedule and very responsive via email, text, or phone call. She was able to join us for vendor meetings and in-person final venue walk-throughs and rehearsals, kept us on task by checking in about little details that we did not consider during the planning process, gave us recommendations for last minute signage/rentals/cake ideas, and was super organized (we really appreciated the attention to detail in her timeline). She and her team (Irma and Shannon) even helped us with day-of dress bustling/veil insertion/Boutonnière pinning/redirecting guests, etc.! Mari understood our wedding vision and was patient with us especially when we made last-minute changes to the timeline. She made us feel comfortable and we felt confident in her abilities. In fact, a few of our guests asked if we were all old friends because of how comfortable we were with her. Of note, Mari is able to speak Vietnamese and was able to guide our parents throughout the day. Easily, one of the best investments during our wedding process was working with Live Love Create. Thank you Mari, Irma, Shannon, and Christine!
The Live Love Create team went above and beyond what we expected for planning the wedding. They were easy to contact to go over any questions or specific details. Also, their design board was beautiful and thorough. Their team was integral in making our wedding wishes come true on the day of the wedding!!
Live Love Create Events went above and beyond to make our wedding feel so easy, all 11 months of planning and execution. We were literally ahead of or on time for everything from the Rehearsal the evening before to the day of. They are true professionals. Some details -
VISION
We didn't have a clear idea of how we wanted our wedding to look aside from a few basic things. After our first consultation with Christine, she created a beautiful vision board/theme recommendation and we were IN. Christine has a degree in visual arts and is a master in creativity you can see this in her expert aesthetic. Ask to see her hand-painted screen prints or Google to see her hand-crafted Korean traditional "paebaek" wedding sets - she's been interviewed by news outlets often for offering this gorgeous specialty!
AVAILABILITY/TIMELINESS
I'm in San Francisco and Christine/L.L.C. are in LA but that didn't matter - Christine was able to find and secure many critical vendors, help us negotiate contracts and meet with us constantly, all remotely. If I had any questions, Christine would often be available to quickly respond with her expertise.
BOSS
I don't have another way to describe it but Christine will get it done for you. Tough conversation with a vendor? She will handle or coach you. Trouble reading fine print on a contract? She has seen it all and understands. Worried about lagging wedding party? She knows how to "herd stray cats" if you catch my drift. Work with LLC and you will be very well taken care of. Again, on time to everything!
COMFORT/TRUSTWORTHY
Christine and the LLC team go out of their way to make you feel comfortable during a very stressful time. She is flexible and can work within your budgets and even offer ways to save money and time. Since she has a ton of experience and a vast network within this industry, she will be the first to tell you if something is not reasonably priced or not worth exploring, which is so important when sticking to a strict budget! And those minor snafus that might happen on a wedding day (say, stolen alcohol)? We had NO idea (until she told me about it the next day). That speaks volumes!
In conclusion, in a sea of wedding planners, you will be so glad to have chosen Christine if smooth event coordination/management, efficiency/hustle and top notch aesthetics are important to you. I'm probably forgetting other things but let the other reviewers also speak for themselves. Wish we could do it again!!!
Christine was AMAZING! We worked together to create the perfect surprise proposal for my partner, and it blew us away! I had a very particular vision and Christine listened to every detail and executed it beyond my expectations. Christine and her team also had the flexibility to work around incredibly unfortunate weather conditions and made sure that we always had a plan (she got stuck on an island for 48 hours). Despite the odds being stacked against us, she delivered the moment we will remember for the rest of our lives and I am so grateful for that!
Wow, Chris and I had the best experience with Christine and her team! She made our wedding day so special and such an amazing experience. She took all the stress off my shoulders coordinating with the vendors and my guests making sure everything goes according to plan. And if it didn’t, she made a way to make sure it went smoothly and fixed everything right away. Christine and her team are all extremely organized and on point from the very beginning with our vendors, sticking to our timeline, to making everything beautiful to the end of the day everything was cleaned up, organized and placed in their proper boxes. I can’t express how thankful I am for Live Love Create Events for an amazing wedding day! Thank you Christine and team!! Chris and I love you and appreciate you all so much from the bottom of our hearts. A day we’ll always remember!! Thank you for making it so special ♥️
Truly a blessing to work with Christine Chang because she helped us create our wedding with ease by being everywhere to handle all the tough situations! For example I lost our wedding rings, and she was able to have a team member go get it in the hotel and rush it back to the ceremony. Christine’s creative ideas, and designs, and workflow was all a beautiful blessing to us. She was so patient and was super attentive and on every aspect of the wedding. We didn’t have to worry about nothing. She handled it all with her team and it was such a relief to not worry about the cake, about the schedule, about the guests, she handled everything—even assisting us with our money dance!
Outstanding service! Christine and Mari were absolutely incredible to work with. From the initial conversations through our wedding day.
What was most helpful to us was the guidance in setting the structure and schedule for our big day. Their energy, knowledge and expertise was truly perfect!
I had such a seamless experience with Christine and her team- I cannot recommend them enough! Not only was she able to bring my vision to life, but she also provided countless design elements that I never would have thought of! She took everything I wanted and gave me several options to choose from, all while breaking down every detail in a live document we shared 🙌🏻 . Being a very particular person, I appreciated all the attention to detail, the highly responsive communication and streamlined organization. Christine also has relationships with so many local vendors, which made it easy to make last minute tweaks and even a few hookups! It can be so overwhelming tackling planning on your own. I was so relieved I could just show up and feel reassured that everything was in good hands. Overall, amazing amazing experience hands down. It was the best decision I could have made!
Christine and her team gave us the wedding of our dreams--it was even better than the Pinterest boards!
We live in the Bay Area but wanted our wedding to be in Los Angeles. We looked for full wedding planning to take the stress out of long-distance wedding planning. After interviewing 5+ planners, Live.Love.Create. was the clear choice. Christine was so easy to talk to, listened to our inputs and was able to clarify our half-thought out ideas lol. And have you seen their work on Instagram? And the handmade paebaek set? BEAUTIFUL!!
We were in good hands. Christine was so organized, responded promptly, clear in timelines, communications, next steps. Her experience and abilities really showed and shined. Venues, vendors and a vision our wedding was curated for us. We weren't overwhelmed with options, got to enjoy the fun of engagement/wedding planning and loved our vendors.
On the big day, Christine and her team took care of everything--we did not have to deal with any logistics or issues. Our guests had so many compliments! How beautiful the wedding venue and flowers were, the delicious food, how great the vendors were, how smooth everything went, and how much fun they had! It was such a wonderful experience and day! Thank you Live.Love.Create!
Christine saved me from the stress and ordeal I could have dealt with if I didn't hire her for my son's 1st birthday party. She understood what I was looking for and created this fantastic and beautiful setup that I'm still amazed by to this day. She is a talented professional; her knowledge and artistic taste brought my son's birthday party to another level. I would hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you so much, Christine, and the Live Love Create team; I'm forever grateful.
Christine and her team were beyond helpful and instrumental in ensuring that our wedding day went smoothly.
Definitely recommend in every single way and worth every penny.
Thank you Christine and team!!!
She planned our girls’ first birthday, and it was a great event! She listened to us, and was able to put together a wonderful event where we were able to celebrate with family and friends. Almost a month later, and I still can’t believe what she was able to do. She’s very professional and communicative. She takes away the stress of having to plan an event.
I absolutely loved working with Christine from Live.Love.Create! When I first reached out to her, I was so stressed out because I didn’t know where to start with the wedding planning. However, Christine stepped right in and got everything rolling. Christine is a true professional, very attentive to details and always prompt. Also, as she’s very experienced in this field, she has a lot of wonderful vendors that she can recommend as well. Thanks to her, my wedding was so beautiful, and everything went accordingly to schedule with no issues. I highly recommend her to anyone out there looking for a wedding planner!
I planned my wedding in 4 months and the one element that helped it all come together was hiring Christine and her team. I had an unconventional ceremony planned - I was so worried the morning of, but when I walked in and saw it all come together, I was so thankful Christine was my planner. The space looked beautiful, she was a fantastic communicator, and helped orchestrate a seamless order of events. She was so wonderful!
Live Love Create Events was amazing! We reached out 1 month before our wedding day and they went above and beyond to create our perfect wedding. Due to COVID, we had a 14 person backyard wedding and Christine and her team planned it like it was for a 250 person wedding. Nothing was missing. From chandeliers, place settings, chair decorations, lights, flowers, alter, they took care of everything. We are so grateful for this team for making our wedding day a beautiful and most importantly, a stress free day.
Where do I begin, my list can go on and on.
I highly recommend you to book Christine right away, don’t even think twice about it, you will see why later.
She grabs the stress of the couple and makes it disappear.
Her work is phenomenal, she is very attentive, respectful, her timelines are flawless. You can tell she genuinely loves her job. It’s not just another couple for her, she will be their when you need her the most. We booked her as a day of cordinater and it felt like I had a wedding planner, her help and guidance helped me a lot. My venue changed spontaneously last second they closed down and Christin just jumped right in to help saved the day kept everyone informed and kept the couples calm. If I could go back in time I would book her as my wedding planner instead.
She helped me make my wedding dreams come true!!! We love you Christine
Christine and her team is AMAZING to say the least. She is very punctual, has great attention to detail and a lot of experience when coordinating weddings. She kept us on track during the day and we would have been lost without her! She is a true creative and will help add details to your wedding if you need it. Tea ceremony was important to us, and she gave us ideas on how to incorporate that with our short time frame.
I would highly highly recommend her and her team!
It was great to work with Christine from Live Love Create Events. The attention to detail, the communication and just always ready to help make everything smoother was great especially as a DJ. So all I had to do is focus on setting up and DJing. She had everything under control the entire wedding and we moved seamlessly from one chapter to the next all night. She was a joy to work with and hopefully we get to work together again in the future. If you need a Wedding Planner, BOOK Live Love Create ASAP.
I got to work with Erica & Christine from live love create through a referral from my sweet friend and I cannot thank them enough. True Godsend. I hired them for my day of wedding coordinator but I feel like they did way more than what was written on contract. They went above and beyond their means to help out with my wedding. The most stressful part about my wedding planning was communicating with my reception venue, but that's when Christine voluntarily jumped in and made all communication run smoothly and helped with coordinating other details and provided ideas to help everything come to life on the day of. I was truly able to enjoy my wedding from beginning to finish without any hiccups and live. love. create played a big role in making that happen. I was able to tell they have a lot of experience working with all kinds of brides and was very patient and understanding through all of my needs and happenings in the planning process. They were also very quick on answering all of my questions and concerns... Very responsive and great on communication. I sincerely appreciate their friendship, kindness and all their organizational and professional skills they contributed to my wedding. Love them!!
Thank goodness for Live Love Create! I used their services for Day of Coordination. Honestly, I was so stressed with the planning. I don't know what I would've done without them! They contacted all my vendors and made sure everything went off without a hitch!
