Meet the Planning Team

Cydney Johnson

Owner/Lead Planner

Cydney has been planning events as the Stiletto Events owner and lead planner for 6 years.  Ever since she was young, Cydney has had a flare for style and an eye for design. Before starting her career as a wedding coordinator, she pursued her formal education in Advertising at The Art Institute of Colorado. Though Cydney has been planning events and weddings since 2003, it wasn’t until after planning her own wedding in 2011, that she knew she had truly found her passion.

Her love for design and ability to think outside of the box has helped her create many extraordinary and unforgettable events. Cydney is very detail oriented and can easily maintain a budget (and in many cases, come under budget), however, her true talent lies within design. Her creative background allows her to shine with unique looks and amazing concepts. She loves the challenge of something different and enjoys working with new clients. Her passion truly shows in her work, which is one of the many reasons clients enjoy working with her.

After working to get her certification in wedding and event planning, Cydney soon started Stiletto Events, LLC. Although she is qualified to plan any event, she likes to focus her energy primarily on weddings. She opened her own business, so she would be free of commissions and any other compromising arrangements. She is determined to only serve in the interests of her clients.

Cydney has since planned many memorable weddings. From the spectacular to the simple. She has earned a reputation as the smart choice for anyone wanting to create a magical event.

Christen Turk

Assistant Planner

Christen graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 2011 with a degree in Mass Communications. She has worked in the event planning industry since 2013. Her event planning career started at Make A Wish, which was followed by positions at different hotels.

Christen joined the Stiletto at the end of the 2015 season. Her sister-in-law is one of Stiletto Events’ favorite dessert vendors.  She feels there is something magical about being involved in making someone’s big day as special and perfect as possible. Christen was the perfect addition to the Stiletto Events team. Her industry knowledge and an enthusiasm for weddings truly shine on each clients’ wedding day. She brings an incredible value with her quick ability to adjust to different situations and overall design knowledge.

When not working weddings, you can find Christen training with her dad to run in half marathons and marathons. She can be found spending much of her time with her family and friends. She loves country music, especially Eric Church
