With over a decade of experience in hospitality and event management, Cristi has mastered the art of crafting unforgettable experiences. Originally from West Lafayette, Indiana, she graduated from Purdue University in 2012 with a degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management and traded cornfields for palm trees in 2013 to kickstart her career in sunny Florida. From large corporate events to dream weddings and intimate celebrations, she knows how to bring the “wow” factor to any occasion. When she’s not planning picture-perfect events, Cristi satisfies her wanderlust by exploring new destinations, soaking up inspiration from every corner of the globe. Her love of travel fuels her creativity and keeps her ideas fresh. She’s also a passionate advocate for St. Pete, where the vibrant arts scene, stunning waterfronts, and tight-knit community inspire her daily. With her roots in the Midwest and her heart in Florida, Cristi loves creating experiences that bring joy to others and leave a lasting impact.
