“There are so many people to thank, we know. Our gratitude and love overflows to all involved...but you, you went so very far, so thoughtful and knowledgeable...focusing on making our day the most perfect. You did Bonnie. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful! More than we could have possible imagined. All the way down to the smallest detail. Thank you so very much for sharing your heart and giving us such a beautiful wedding.
We love you and appreciate you and Gary both. Take good care.”

Excellent reviews in all categories on the “Comments Please” submittal. “The best part was the all in one package. It was such a relief to not have to go searching for separate vendors because you covered it all.

Carrie (bride) August 10, 2012


“[you were all] very helpful throughout the process [of planning my wedding]. Everything was in the contract and there were no surprises.  Also, you were very accommodating to changes, even when I added an entire wedding party two weeks before the ceremony!”

“Dear Bonnie & Gary, We wanted to send you a BIG “Thank You” for your part in making Alison and Rob’s wedding a beautiful occasion.  The room was so beautiful, and just what Alison had envisioned for her wedding!
The centerpieces worked so well for us and the extra touch of the flowers tucked in the bow of the chairs was so beautiful. Thank you again for everything. We pray for you both, that God will bless you and your business!”

“In February of this year my family and friends held a memorial service and reception for my mother who had passed away. It was held at Chapman Chapel, corner of Maple and Grand street in Orange. With the help of Bonnie, Gary and staff from the Christian Wedding Planning Center and officiating the service Elder Jim Simons of Sanctify Church it was a beautiful service and the reception was great. Every one who attended told me how nice everything was. I would recommend them for any wedding, memorial service, or what ever you might need.”

Mother of the Bride, called to say, “Everyone and everything was wonderful. We are so grateful we found you. I don’t think we could have done this without your help. When we had to change all of our plans we’d made to have our wedding in northern California and switch to Orange County with just 2 month’s and not much budget left, we thought it would be impossible…until we found you. What a blessing.  We were able to plan it all perfectly even across the miles. We made just one trip, booked and planned everything in just a very brief time. We are so pleased it all came together seamlessly. We can’t thank you enough. We had so many compliments I can’t quote them all!”

Debby M., Oct. 11, 2008, voicemail


A couple that didn’t end up using our services took some special time out of their busy planning to thank us for the free no-obligation custom quote and tour, “Chanell and I definitely felt welcome when we came to your office, and we enjoyed our visit. The event planner we met with was very friendly and helpful. We looked at Chapman Chapel and it was very beautiful! We even did some antique shopping in the neighborhood afterwards!
Unfortunately we have decided not to use your beautiful chapel…Both of us want to give a great heartfelt thanks for meeting with us! We were not experienced in the process at all, and our consultation with you was very helpful and informative. Thanks again and God Bless,
Anthony

Anthony, Nov. 2008, email


“We live in Oceanside and we liked that we did not have to drive up to Anaheim every weekend to get things done with planning, one-stop-shop!” “Everything tasted and looked fabulous!” She felt her July event was “...beautifully done with such care.”

Cynthia G., 2008


“The best part of your service is the everything package – the professionals included and experience that was displayed was obvious and appreciated. Sheila especially was always available to us for any concern and was extremely professional! Your services made our dreams come true, a truly unique memory that will always be sacred in our hearts! You guys even moved an event so we could have the Crystal Room! True miracle workers! The Photographer made4 us feel so safe and ceremony/reception directors were great! I feared nothing, my event planner was so helpful and patient!”

Kendra S., Nov. 2008
