Crowne Plaza Providence-Warwick

It’s pretty easy to pinpoint where my love of weddings came from. A hopeless romantic, A big believer in Happily Ever After’s, and a plethora of knowledge for every Rom-Com you could ever think of, it’s pretty apparent as to why I chose to work with weddings!

I take great pride in learning couples love stories and seeing them through to their big day (and I happy cry EVERY time). As I’m growing in the service industry, I’ve taken pride in and understand the importance and strength in genuinely connecting with people, attention to detail, and excellent listening skills.

I graduated from the University of Rhode Island with a double major in Public Relations and Communication Studies. Before transitioning into the world of events, I held many different positions within the hospitality industry, and I was also a cheer camp Head Instructor on the West Coast!! In my free time I love rewatching all of my favorite TV shows (mostly One Tree Hill), traveling and exploring new restaurants, and hanging out with my Frenchie, Biebs!

We all grow up imagining what we want to be when we grow up. It may surprise some of you to know that event planning was never a dream of mine. When I was younger, I wanted to be a marine biologist, then somehow ended up graduating college with a degree for early childhood education. After years of never feeling like I truly belonged I made the drastic decision to quit my teaching career for a part time front desk position in Narragansett, RI. Less than a year later I was promoted to front desk manager and soon moved all the way to the Venue Manager.

It wasn’t until I found hospitality that I found what I loved to do the most. When you are given the chance to not only be involved but to be the one person that two people count on to make the most important day of their lives the best day. You instantly feel a crazy amount of pride. My career isn’t just something I do to pay the bills; it is what I love the most about my life. From being to end the process of executing the most prefect day for my couples is my only goal. From the moment you sign your contract with The Crowne I am here every step of the way.

Crystal is passionate about building relationships and connecting with people. She has always been THE planner in her personal life and in professional settings. She still enjoys making time to help others through the stresses of event planning because she finds joy in sharing those memories with clients.
