with love, christina

Hello. I’m Christina Leigh Frederick, owner and creative director at The Helpful Host™! The Helpful Host™ was inspired by my late grandmother, and came to life to help my wedding and corporate clients with everyday celebrations. I am so excited to bring The Helpful Host™ into 2024 with the same great event planning services, and workshops, that you love - but a few new twists!

THE HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST

meet christina

I believe no event is too small to celebrate, and that one can ever own too many place setting options.

Growing up with women who were gracious and wonderful hosts I was taught proper etiquette and family secrets, but it wasn't until having my own children that I learned the joy that can be brought to a home through celebrating every day!

Whether you are looking for downloadable templates, organization kits, entertainment services or you are looking for a place to inspire and delight (check out the online journal) - without the pressure of Pinterest or feeling of overwhelm - welcome to your new favorite place!

It is my goal to equip you with the most helpful tips to be the most gracious host! I would love to work together; please stop by and say hello!
