At Muse, we believe that the key to success lies in the details.  We hold to the opinion that every event, whether a wedding, a corporate event, or a birthday party, should be a unique experience and different from every other event we do.  With this as our motto, we are committed to an unsurpassed attention to detail, a focus on clients' vision and creating a memorable event within clients' budget.  We provide a full range of services, from full wedding planning to day-of coordination services, as well as corporate and private event planning. The best thing we can do is to truly hear what our clients want, taking our cue from their vision in order to create the perfect event for their specific desires.

A Little About Christina:
The owner and founder of Muse, Christina Safford, is nationally certified as both a wedding planner and event coordinator.  Christina is a creatively dynamic and motivated woman who has been in the business of planning events for over seven years.  Her experience covers a wide range of events, including large & small scale weddings, society events and fundraisers, corporate functions and trade shows in the Los Angeles & Portland areas, as well as theatrical and film production management.  Her diverse background compliments her ability to skillfully manage all types of events. 

She claims her passion for event planning began when she planned her own wedding and found out that even a well-organized person simply cannot do it alone.   Although all the details were in place, decisions made, and the plan was very well organized, without someone to manage the preparations, things crumbled.  From that point on, she found herself trouble shooting potential disasters wherever she went.  With a natural eye for seeing potential pitfalls and problems before they happened, friends started asking for help and the rest, as they say… is history! 

“I love my job.  I get to enjoy the experience of working with some of Portland’s best creative geniuses in the most gorgeous locations Oregon has to offer.  Because it is my belief that any vendor a client uses should match their personality, personal style, and budget, this allows me the opportunity to work with a very diverse crowd of people.  Life has taught me that problems come along. . .it's how we handle it that makes our mark.  I take great joy in taking away the stress.”
