Meet Kristi Pittman of Foster

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristi Pittman.

Kristi, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
My journey in the event industry began as a catering lead, where I learned the importance of organization, timing, and client service. I eventually became a hall managers assistant, which gave me hands-on experience overseeing events from start to finish. During that time, I discovered my passion for decorating and realized how much I enjoyed transforming spaces into something beautiful and memorable. That creative spark, combined with my organizational skills, naturally led me to wedding planning and coordination. Today, I bring all those experiences together—planning, coordinating, and decorating—to create weddings that are seamless, personal, and unforgettable for each couple I work with.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
One of my biggest challenges starting out was building my business with very limited resources. I began planning, coordinating, and decorating weddings with only a small personal investment, so I had to be creative and strategic. I used couples’ deposits to purchase décor, which not only allowed me to build my inventory but also helped my brides save money by avoiding costly rental fees elsewhere. Another challenge was earning trust and establishing credibility in a competitive industry without the advantage of an extensive portfolio in the beginning. Through excellent communication, delivering on my promises, and going above and beyond for each client, I was able to turn those challenges into opportunities, steadily growing my reputation and inventory while staying true to my commitment to affordability and quality.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m a wedding planner and coordinator who also offers décor rentals, custom floral arrangements, and access to professional bartenders and servers. I’m known for bringing my clients’ visions to life within any budget, specializing in full-service planning, day-of coordination, and personalized décor design. I’m most proud of creating seamless, beautiful events that reflect each couple’s style. What sets me apart is offering planning, staffing, and décor rentals in one place, making the process easier, more cost-effective, and perfectly cohesive.

Are there any important lessons you’ve learned that you can share with us?
The most important lesson I’ve learned on my journey is that you don’t need to come from wealth to build a successful business. With passion, determination, and smart resource management, it’s possible to turn your vision into reality. This mindset has empowered me to overcome obstacles and continuously grow my wedding planning and coordinating business.
