Affairs with a Twist

Corinne Connor: Corinne grew up in the event business. Her parents have owned and operated a corporate event management company for almost 20 years giving Corinne the creativity and experience in events from an early age. Corinne’s career has focused on many aspects of event planning beginning with a Swiss based firm planning education/training sessions and trade shows to a large financial institution focusing on large scale conferences, incentive travel, golf and ski outings, and high-end client hospitality throughout the United States and Europe. After recently being married, Corinne found a new passion in weddings and specialty parties where she can showcase her creativity. Her approach is professional and inspired and can pull from over 10 years of event planning experience. Corinne has a marketing degree from Clemson University and resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband. Chris Akers: Chris began her career as an event planner in Washington, DC shortly after graduating from college in the summer of 1996. Since then, her career has taken her to Philadelphia, Raleigh and finally back home to Charlotte, NC. She has worked in Destination Management, Non-Profit, and most recently as a Corporate Event Planner during her 10 years in the industry, working extensively throughout the United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. Like Corinne, Chris was recently married and blissfully enjoyed the process of planning her own wedding.
