Christine K Forster
President, Purveyor of Passions Education: Bachelors in Organizational Communications Event and Hospitality Management Certification Event Marketing Certification Online Marketing Certification Hotel & Catering Management Certification Mobile Marketing Certification Wedding Planner Certification TIPS Certified Tenderwise Training Complete The President of My Big Day, Christine Kovacs Forster, lives and breathes laughter. Entertaining people and being entertained is what simply moves her. She got the event planning bug in 6th grade... and it has grown from there! (just ask her about her early event experiences) My BIG Day LLC was formed in 2006 after Christine received constant requests to help businesses with their marketing, and party planning for her friends' life events. In addition to being contracted for large business functions, weddings, and community events, My Big Day has also created a number of 'signature events' that we own and fully operate. These events have grown to 500+ person affairs. After 20+ years in media and event planning, today her passion lies in creating events for all to enjoy and campaigns that elevate businesses and non-profits. Christine serves on numerous event and marketing committees and boards for local non-profits. Giving back is a priority both personally and professionally. My Big Day clients recognize Christine as their fearless partner who runs each event with a walkie-talkie, clipboard, and numerous spreadsheets. "Organized" is an understatement. The event business is a relationship business, and Christine is known for being a connector in the community, and ultimately a friend to everyone she meets! She and her team pride themselves on extraordinary service and original events. |
