Christine Bailey
Christine has been planning special events for 14 years and has worked on events ranging in size from 20 to over 1000 people. She formally opened Haute Events in 2002 and transitioned that company into White Orchid Productions in 2009. A former (and still sometime) model and actress from Long Beach, Christine pulls from her fashion background when creating storyboards for her clients. Having traveled extensively since the age of 16, she loves incorporating different global elements with the couple’s cultural backgrounds and interests in order to create amazing, one-of-a-kind events. Her enthusiasm and love for what she does is part of what keeps her clients coming back for her services, and her calm demeanor assures every client that things will be very well taken care of.
