Principal planner & owner
Meet Kristi.
From Olympic arenas to elegant ballrooms, I’ve been the calm in the whirlwind, bringing vision and order to extraordinary celebrations, turning big dreams into beautifully executed realities.
What began in New Jersey over two decades ago as a passion for corporate events has evolved into a career dedicated to crafting weddings. My career has taken me from working with Major League Baseball and the International Olympic Committee, including on-site at the 2004 Olympic Games in Greece, to serving as Festival Director for the Philadelphia International Music Festival alongside members of The Philadelphia Orchestra.
I brought my passion for precision, creativity, and heartfelt celebrations to Arizona, launching Kristi Marie Events in 2017. Since then, I’ve assembled a trusted and talented team of wedding planners and coordinators. Our approach blends logistical expertise with an intuitive understanding of each couple’s vision, ensuring every wedding feels personal, seamless, and unforgettable.
Our sister company, Kristi Marie Creative, is a curated rental décor company designed to help couples and designers bring their wedding vision to life with beautifully selected pieces.
From large-scale events to intimate celebrations, my heart is in creating experiences that couples can fully enjoy, knowing every detail is in caring, capable hands.
