Wedding & Event Planning

Wedding & Event Venue in Mountain Home, AR

Hi! I’m Christie.

I answer to many titles in life—wife, mom, Lolli, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, planner—but the one that matters most to me is Christian. I’ve been joyfully married to my husband, Andy, for twenty years, and together we’ve built a beautiful family that includes two sons, a daughter, two daughters-in-law, a son-in-law, and two grandsons. And of course, our family wouldn’t be complete without Sir Reginald the Wonder Yorkie and Olympia Nyx, our loyal Belgian Malinois.

When I’m not planning an event or soaking up time with my family, you’ll likely find me with a good book, binge-watching one of my favorite shows (for the second—or third—time), or enjoying the outdoors. I love being on the water kayaking, boating, or swimming, and exploring nature in one of our Jeeps is one of my favorite ways to unwind.

My passion for weddings and events has been a lifelong journey. It began as a small spark years ago when I served as a bridesmaid in my first wedding. I fell in love with the décor, the romance, and the magic that brings people together in celebration. Even as a teenager, wedding planning was a dream of mine. As life unfolded, I realized that dream deserved to be pursued professionally. I left my corporate career, followed my calling, and earned my Professional Wedding Planner accreditation through education, experience, and events with ABC.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of planning weddings, parties, Make-A-Wish events, church functions, Celebrations of Life, family gatherings, and so much more. Each event is unique, meaningful, and deeply personal—and I treat it as such.

People often ask how I do this job day after day. My answer is simple: it doesn’t feel like a job. I truly love what I do.
