Swank Soiree

20+ years. Hundreds of brides. Countless love stories. 💍

Swank Soiree has been one of the greatest chapters of my life — and it has truly been an honor to walk alongside so many couples on their wedding day.

But seasons change, and with them, our callings. ✝️
I’ve officially closed the Swank Soiree book and stepped into a brand-new one: building firm foundations for couples after marriage. 🏡✨

If you’re looking for a wedding planner, I highly recommend my friend Ro at — she will take amazing care of you.

And if you’d like to stay with me on this new journey:
👉 Follow for our custom builds & homes for sale
👉 Follow for my personal journey as a builder + mom + wife 🤎

From the bottom of my heart — thank you for every referral, every client, every hug, and every memory.

Weddings shaped me.
Now I’m building something even deeper.

With love always,
Christy

Sitting here still daydreaming about Deijah and Myronn’s day.

You’ll have to excuse my Nikes! When you do 6 miles to produce an event cute goes out the window. 🙃

Rasheedah and I dreamed up the most beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception with all the Italian feels. However, the weather had its own plans and at the 11th hour we had to make the call to move it all inside. I can’t stress how important vendor selection is in the wedding planning process. All of our vendors were amazing and willing to make the last minute changes. Check out the aisle decor that was initially meant for a 50ft outdoor walkway!

Patrick wanted a wedding that would incorporate colors that represented royalty but wasn’t overdone. Nicole leaned more towards all things clean and classic.

We gave them both! In planning, just as in marriage it’s all about compromise and blending.

Alex wasn’t afraid to let us play with these vibrant colors! We started with a bright color pallet and didn’t disappoint when creating the invitation suite.

In honor of Valentine’s Day let me step back into the social media scene and update my squares with this beautiful wedding.

Alexandra and Christopher
They were my very last “COVID couple”, while Covid isn’t exactly what pushed us into 2023 just know that love prevailed! 💕❤️🩷
