Meet the Founder
Hi, I’m Kristin!
Hi, I’m Kristin Byars, the founder of Kristin Ashley Events. I combine my love for design and weddings to create unforgettable celebrations filled with joy and love. After starting my career with Ralph Lauren and working for one of Chicago’s top wedding planners, I decided to launch my own event planning business, now serving both St. Louis and Austin. With a background in event planning and yoga, I’m here to ensure your big day is as calm and stress-free as possible.
