Hello there! I'm Christina and I have a confession to make…I would probably be a Party Crasher if I was not an Event Planner! I love everything about them and everything they stand for. I love them so much I set out on a journey many moons ago to do what I love as a career.

​

This is the part where most planners will tell you "I planned my sister's wedding and you know the rest of that story, or I got married last year and I didn't hire a planner and regretted it so I became one....and occasionally you will hear I found my calling and left my career as a Lawyer to become an event planner"...back up... rewind...wait....what... huh? 

​

My story starts in hospitality almost 3 decades ago while attending college bartending and serving in restaurants. After graduating with a BFA in Interior Architectural Design and a Minor in Hospitality Management, I worked for MTV, VH-1, and Paramount for 6 years in production and eventually landed in the events department producing launch and wrap parties and movie screenings. I am sure you have heard of the MTV Movie Awards and the VMA’s...yes, I was apart of that production team. Knowing I was destined to plan kick-ass events, I went back to hospitality, where I continued building my resume in the Hotel and Restaurant industry. To date, I have planned and executed over 1000 events! I even picked up a few tricks along the way! I earned my level 2 Certified Sommelier designation from The Court of Masters Sommelier and can make mean craft cocktail.

In 2010, The Events Boutique was established out of love and passion for the industry. I believe in working hard, and every event can be flawless. The best advice I was ever given was never to ask someone to do something you have not physically done yourself.  Furthermore, do not advise someone on something you have not physically learned yourself. I took that to heart and live my life every day by it. We wholeheartedly speak and lead with experience.  

   

My life and my career have taken me on an amazing and blessed journey, enabling me to grow our team with the most talented, creative, smart, experienced, and OCD humans I could find. 

 

So now that you know a little bit of our story, we can't wait to hear yours.  Let’s chat over a latte and a cupcake and see if we mesh!
