It's a Love Story
Meet Kristy
Founder & lead planner of Weddings by Kristy
East coast or west coast? Both
I was born in California, raised in Phoenix, AZ – so even though my home has been in Washington D.C. for over 5 years, you could still call me a West Coast girly. I met my husband in college in the small mountain town of Flagstaff, AZ and have been moving around ever since, working all sorts of jobs.
So what brought me to D.C.? A master’s degree in education policy.
Type-A Planning? Sign me up. Desk? Not so much.
I tried it. But the 9-5 desk life was not for me. My favorite part of any job is working directly with people. Being the hyper-organized woman who lets other people relax and enjoy an event. One day I woke up, discontent with the life I was building, and knew something had to change.
I’m going to do it. I’m going to follow my heart.
My little girl dream job was to be a wedding planner. Helping couples in love create the day that makes them throw their arms around me and say, ‘it was perfect.’ As much as I want to say I love my job so much it doesn’t feel like work– I won’t. It is WORK. Work that I look forward to rolling up my sleeves and doing at the highest level I can do.
Because when I see all types of couples celebrate love their way, it makes my soul happy. There’s no one right way to love. No one correct wedding day. No tradition that has to happen. It’s your day. Your story. Your people. Your vision.
Meet Destiny
Wedding coordinator
As a coordinator, I see an opportunity to make a significant impact on a couple’s most important day. My motivation lies in alleviating the stress and confusion that often accompanies wedding planning, transforming it into a joyful and smooth experience.
I believe that love knows no boundaries, and it’s essential to celebrate the uniqueness and authenticity of every couple. Each wedding is special, and it’s an honor to play a role in the creation of beautiful moments.
Destiny brings to Weddings by Kristy her years of operations and project management experience. She is also an ASL interpreter and is passionate about using language to bring people together.
Meet Angela

I’m passionate about the power of community, and I love that I can facilitate meaningful connections through weddings.
Getting the details right means that our couples can enjoy their special day at ease and experience beautiful, heartfelt moments with their people.
As a wedding coordinator, I tune in on couples’ wishes to bring to life the most personalized, true-to-you wedding.
