Assistant Coordinator
A nearly 10 year veteran of the wedding industry, Christiane (better known as Chrissy) got her start in the catering sector.
Working for small family businesses, she was able to sample all aspects of hospitality services and weddings are what caught her eye and kept her coming back.
Born in Chicago but raised in Greece as a child, she was blessed to watch different cultures collide and watch something new and beautiful emerge.
When she’s not making wedding day dreams come true, Chrissy can be found experimenting with new cuisines in the kitchen, much to the delight of her husband and children!
