Specializing in Wedding Planning and Wedding Day Management, I have been helping clients plan and execute events since 2002. As a Corporate Event Planner, I worked on both the national and international level for John Hancock, as liaison to Major League Baseball and the International Olympic Committee on such events as the Boston Marathon, MLB All-Star Games, and the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens.
My love for weddings brought me to Centre City Philadelphia, where I planned and managed the weddings of over 200 brides before taking on the position of Festival Director for the Philadelphia International Music Festival featuring members of The Philadelphia Orchestra.
Now a resident of Arizona’s East Valley and proud mom of two beautiful girls, I have opened Kristi Marie Events, a Wedding Planning company dedicated to making the planning of your special day stress-free and effortless.

Wedding Planning
Luxury is in the details! Your guests’ wedding experience starts when they receive their invitation and continues until watching you leave your wedding as Mr. & Mrs. I work closely with you to ensure your most important details are captured and flawlessly incorporated into each element.
I understand the difficulties of leaving your wedding planning up to someone else. To help you feel at ease, I provide unlimited access to me while we (just a few key services included in our personalized planning packages):
- Customized budget creation and management
- Build and incorporate design elements
- Manage planning schedule and wedding timeline
- Connect with the right vendors
- And walk through important decisions
We provide full transparency allowing you to view planning progress and monitor your budget on your schedule with our Couple’s Wedding Planning portal.
The end result… your vision comes to life exactly how you imagined it would.
Wedding Management
Wedding Management is for the couple who has planned the wedding of their dreams and is now ready to enjoy it all. No worries. No stress. We have you covered!
Our team of experienced and professional Wedding Coordinators – your secret bridesmaids – are devoted to making your vision come to life. You can trust in knowing we bring the experience of a professional wedding planner and put the heart and care of a trusted bridesmaid into every detail.
