About Me
Hello! My name is Christa McLean and I'm known for loving love and loving weddings & events! I am a certified wedding planner and was named "Rising Star" by New Hampshire Lodging & Restaurant Association in 2018! Events have been my passion for over a decade. I am proud to have become friends with over 350 couples who have given me the honor of helping them with their 'Best Day Ever'!
I started working in events while managing restaurants and fell in love. I quickly felt how special helping to make lifelong memories through events is... Weddings are the most magical events. When you work with me for your wedding or event, you won't just be working with an event planner, you'll make a new friend.
My passion for hospitality and impeccable service is strong.
I always strive to learn more, keep up with continued education and industry trends. I've earned certificates including Wedding Planning, Allergen Awareness, Crowd Control, ServSafe (food and beverage), Hospitality Beverage Specialist Certification, and TIPS.
When I am not planning and managing events and weddings you will find me with my husband, sons and dogs at home, perhaps sipping on some whisk(e)y or wine while watching a Red Sox game or doing yoga!

Our Approach
When you are hosting a special event you want to impress your guests. Weather we are hosting a family gathering, corporate event, or the best day of your life- your wedding we will come together as a team to ensure I can help you make your event amazing,
without you having to stress during the event.
I want to get to know your priorities.
I need to know your must-haves, and must-NOT-haves.
I will help bring all the details together so your event is impressive, fun, and the best celebration you could have ever imagined.
Our planning process starts with a consult- let's get to know each other and how we will work together! After our consult I will provide an action item list and a timeline. Weather you are looking for more of a "day of"/month-of coordinator or a full-service planner
you can get help with your Event or Wedding from Christa McLean Events!
Love Letters from my Couples
It is the biggest honor to help with your wedding day, the best day ever.
"Christa is one of the most warm, genuine and caring people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. She coordinated our wedding back in 2016 and I cannot imagine her not having been there. Her exceptional eye for detail and organizational skills kept our day on time. She took care of us, our wedding party and our families impeccably. I’m so grateful to have worked with Christa and am so lucky to now call her a good friend!"

"Special, personal, easy. Christa is a magical wedding coordinating wizard and though the food is delicious and the venue is absolutely beautiful, I do not think our day or our experience at Flag Hill would have been as easy or enjoyable without her. She really makes the day special. She keeps the energy of the process cool, calm, and collected but knows how to h u s t l e. She's very flexible, prompt, and offers accommodating solutions and compromises. She picks up on details that you didn't even know were important. She snuck behind me during dinner to pin up my falling out hair-do. She whipped out a sewing kit and stitched my mothers ripped dress during the reception. She never once made me feel rushed or pressured in my decision making, just supported and at-ease. All through the planning process I felt like I had a friend who was helping me plan a wedding and that was so important and special to me."

" 10/10 would recommend- Christa is a wedding planning rockstar! From day one of planning she made me and my husband feel so at ease, like we were the only wedding she was planning, which is not easy to do! Being in the industry myself, I was SO impressed by her organization, flexibility and communication. We felt so confident and stress free going into our wedding day, we knew that everything was taken care of and I was truly able to sit back and enjoy every moment of our special day- and for that I cannot thank her enough! From holding my cocktail while we were taking photos, grabbing me a bandaid before our first dance, getting every makeup stain out of my dress before the ceremony and just being our biggest cheerleader, Christa made us feel so special from start to finish. We couldn’t be more lucky to have had the pleasure to work with her and her team."
