30 YEARS MAKING AN EVENT OUT OF GETTING UP EVERY MORNING

Meet Kristie Christensen

Event producer. Brand strategist. Hospitality girl at heart. Professional believer that the details are never just details.

Kristie Christensen has spent more than 20 years creating brands, experiences and moments designed to make people pay attention.

Her career began in hospitality, where she learned early that the magic guests remember is usually created by a hundred details they never see. From luxury hotels and catering to marketing, public relations, publishing, retail, venue ownership and event production, Kristie has spent her career somewhere at the intersection of people, presentation and experience. And that intersection eventually became Soirée by Kristie Christensen.

Kristie has worked with luxury and national brands, produced markets and corporate events, owned an event venue, spent 11 years in retail and built a full-service marketing agency—all experiences that influence the way she approaches an event today. She doesn’t see a room and think only about how to decorate it. She sees the guest experience. The flow. The brand. The stakeholders. The photo opportunities. The tiny details that make people feel taken care of. And, yes, she absolutely sees the place where a champagne wall would look fabulous.

Her marketing background also gives her a slightly different perspective on corporate events. Sponsors and underwriters matter. Brand partners matter. Visibility matters. The experience should be beautiful, but it should also accomplish what you brought all those people into the room to accomplish in the first place.

For weddings and social celebrations, that same thinking becomes deeply personal: Who are you, what are we celebrating, and how do we make the room feel unmistakably yours?

Kristie believes the best events don’t feel manufactured. They feel considered. They feel effortless. They feel like someone thought of everything. Intentional.

That’s Soirée.
