CHRISTINE E. POLETTO
My name is Christine and my passion in life is planning and executing events. I live for the adrenaline (and exhaustion) of an event: Really, it's true.
My career background in corporate trainings, conferences, and incentive programs combined with my relatively recent transition to weddings and private, more personal events a few years back qualifies me to plan and coordinate just about anything that comes my way. I have prepared and built up to owning and running my own business one day and here we are.
I am a San Diego native, but spent several years of the last decade living abroad (both studying and working) in Vienna, Austria where I met my partner who I have since imported to the U.S. after years of making long distance work. It goes without saying that travel is a huge part of my life and my second passion (tied for dogs---Those are up there as well).
I can't wait to meet you and serve your planning needs!

I am passionate about events and have over 6 years of experience in planning small and large scale events. In addition to event coordination, I currently work in alumni relations and have a degree in Public Relations from Creighton University.

Caroline K.
Associate Coordinator
Hi! My name is Caroline and I’ve been working in the wedding industry for about 5 years now. I found a love and passion for creating each couples unique “perfect day” and making their dreams come to life. I have planned weddings throughout all of California from backyard barns to extravagant chapels. If I’m not planning your weddings you will probably find me on the beaches of Thailand enjoying the sunshine and ocean!

Kaity K.
Lead Coordinator
Hello! I have been working in events for nearly a decade and have loved every moment of it. My goal is to make each client feel known and taken care of. I've had the pleasure of coordinating and running the whole gambit of events, from birthday parties to corporate events, bridal showers to summer camps, and more weddings than I can count. My eye for detail and heart for people is essential in this industry. I can't wait to work with you on making your event dreams a reality!
What they're saying
client testimonial:
''If you are considering using (Threshold Event Co.) for your wedding, DO IT. I could not be more happy with how my wedding turned out, and I could not have done it without Christine. She is soooo organIzed and on top of it, I have no idea how she does it …This woman has a gift. Threshold Event Co. works like a well oiled machine. They took all the most stressful parts of planning off of my shoulders. Christine not only crushed it with the finished product, but she made the process fun. She’s so personable and invested, I’m really going to miss talking to her throughout the process!!''

‘‘Planning a wedding across the country requires an immense amount of trust in the event planner and Christine put her heart and soul into our wedding. We actually joked the entire year of planning to our friends and family that our wedding was Christine‘s party and we were just attending it. We would also say the biggest compliment is the fact that we forgot that we were planning a wedding - more times than we’d like to admit.
Her warm, compassionate energy immediately felt like family and her expertise, vendor connections and organization was beyond comprehensible.
The only downfall is in order to work with her again we have to get married again - which because of her we have considered making it an annual thing!
We are forever grateful for Christine, her team and every vendor she recommended and connected us with! Wedding planner turned life-long friend’.’
