meet Christine
I grew up in an Italian home, where relatives and friends coming together was always a celebration. I learned that preparing authentic meals, setting a delightful table, and enjoying conversation and laughter are the ingredients that make any occasion special.
Inspired by my family, I began an incredibly rewarding career in Marketing and Event Planning. With over 15 years’ experience as a catering director at premiere venues, I’ve built strong personal and professional relationships in the hospitality industry. Nothing makes me happier than sharing those contacts and connecting people. I’m passionate about brainstorming organic themes, collaborating to create gorgeous backdrops with classic elegance, and adding modern twists to give you the event of your dreams.
