Our Story
Hello,
I’m Kristen, affectionately known as Krissy, Creator of Events by Krissy.
After graduating from a Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management course at the Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning. I have managed to finesse my event planning skills between 2009 and 2018 by helping to organize many spectacular events including the Young Women’s Christian Association’s (YWCA) Woman of Distinction Awards (WOD) and all events leading up to WOD, African Fashion Week Toronto, Canada’s African & Caribbean Wedding Show, and Bezar Bride. All within the Greater Toronto Area.
Ever since I was a child, I loved being creative, I would plan, organize and decorate for all our family events. However, it wasn’t until my mid 20’s when I independently planned an amazing 70th birthday gala that I decided to take my passion seriously. It was then I became determined to do something tremendous with my degree. “An entrepreneur is someone who has a vision for something, and a want to create” - David Karp. And boy did I want to create! Events by Krissy was created in the Spring of 2018 and I never looked back. I love what I do. The smiles on my clients’ faces make it all worth it.
As an event planner and artist, our job is to keep you organized and on track all the way to the dance floor. We are your confidant, vendor liaison, onsite coordinator, problem solver and sometimes when emotions become too much we are even your therapist. There is nothing more exciting to us than planning your celebrations. From baby showers, birthdays, engagements, bridal showers to weddings and anniversaries. It is supposed to be a whirlwind of smiles and memorable moments.
Because in your dreams, every detail matters!
Memories don't just happen, but they happen to be our business.
