Chrissy Wolfman
Owner, Principal Planner
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Chrissy Wolfman now calls Livermore home. With over a decade of experience at top wedding venues and one of San Francisco’s most iconic hotels, she launched Plan to Be Wowed in 2018 with the vision of bringing heart, hospitality, and intentional design to luxury weddings.
Chrissy’s background in high-end hospitality, paired with her talent for elevating every detail, ensures her clients enjoy a planning experience that is both seamless and deeply personal. Known for her calm professionalism and creative "wow-me" moments, she guides couples through an organized, thoughtful process from start to finish.
She holds a B.A. in Sociology and is a Certified Wedding Planner, blending poise, expertise, and passion to turn even the most complex ideas into stunning realities.
Outside of planning weddings, Chrissy leads a full and joyful life. She’s been married to her husband Chris since 2010 and is the proud mom of two growing boys, Zac and Eli. Together, they love weekend escapes to Napa, Sonoma, Carmel, Tahoe, and Santa Cruz—always in search of a great meal. At home, Chrissy dotes on her backyard chickens, two cats, and her Australian Shepherd, Luna, who joins her in volunteering with Canine Comfort, visiting school-aged children throughout the Tri-Valley.
Whether she’s designing a celebration or making memories with her family, Chrissy is grounded in connection, care, and creating moments that matter.
