The Christina Baxter Difference

“From our initial meetings to our big day, we always felt like we were in the best of hands and minds. It could not have all come together so magically without Christina Baxter Weddings.”

WHO WE ARE

I look forward to partnering with you to design a high-touch, handcrafted celebration as enduring as the memories it’s sure to inspire.

Maybe it comes from growing up with a fashion designer mother and an artist father. Maybe it’s from years spent traveling and working in the gourmet food world, or the experience of leading a talented team at one of Washington D.C.’s top catering and event production companies.

Whatever the reason, that appreciation guides everything I do today as a wedding designer and planner. From collaborating with creative partners across the country to curating a look that feels intentional and inspired, I take the approach of a couturier—layering color, texture, and light to create custom-tailored experiences that give you that one-in-a-million feeling.

Perhaps that’s the natural byproduct of having a fashion designer mother and an artist father. Perhaps it's due to my extensive travels and time spent abroad working in the gourmet food business. Or perhaps it's due to my experience leading the team at one of Washington D.C.'s premier caterers.

Regardless, it's why I now seek out the very best creative partners nationwide. Why I have discriminating taste when it comes to the menus served at my clients' events. And why I endeavor to produce fresh ideas and original masterpieces each and every time.

I’ve always had a deep appreciation for thoughtful craftsmanship, one-of-one pieces, and fine goods that are designed to last for generations.
