THE BLESSED AND STRESSED BOSS, KRISTEN

Kristen might be steering the ship at the main venue, but let’s be real—she’s also leaving a lot of it up to Jesus. Married since she was 19, she’s a family woman through and through, with a young son who’s inherited her unshakable patience. That patience, by the way, is nothing short of miraculous—whether she’s calming a stressed-out bride, wrangling a rogue flower girl, or just praying the DJ shows up on time. As Director of Operations, Kristen juggles timelines, vendors, and unpredictable wedding chaos with grace and a good dose of sarcasm. With three years of wedding experience under her belt, she knows that no matter how perfect the plan, something will go sideways. But Kristen’s the kind of person who can laugh it off, say a quick “Lord, help me,” and get everything back on track before anyone notices. She’s stepped confidently into Erin’s former role, running the show with a mix of humor, heart, and just enough holy intervention to keep things flowing smoothly. Kristen’s leadership style is warm but no-nonsense—she’s the one making sure everyone’s where they need to be, all while cracking a joke to keep the mood light. Whether she's running a timeline or literally running to her next task (because, let’s face it, she’s always on the move), Kristen’s calm presence and quick thinking make her an invaluable part of the team.
