HELLO FROM CAKEWALK EVENTS
Cakewalk Events Owners
We are Amy and Kristen. We share a brain.
We share an email and a phone number and a connected mindset.
We want to say "YES" to any event that can happen within our walls and beyond!
Through our work here, we have had the opportunity to meet such wonderful people;
The couples, the expecting mothers, the guests of honor, the business owners...we treasure them all.
The pictures on this website are our actual guests and customers, who we have grown to know, work with, and love.
It is our philosophy that limiting the endless options and costs that go with wedding & event planning, allows our clients to relax, enjoy their day, and actually get to spend time with each other and their beloved guests.
AMY RIZZO
I am the owner of Cakewalk Events. The cutie by my side is my one and only daughter, Sophia.
She is a singer, dancer, and actress and together, we have a collective mission to pet every dog in the universe.
I earned my BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute and my Masters from UMKC.
I have more than 30 years experience in catering and event planning. I have been a recruiter and teacher for the KC Art Institute and held many positions in management and administration.
Through a series of VERY fortunate meetings and connections in this wonderful city,
I found myself here, owning this amazing business.
Creating and running Cakewalk Events is my dream job and Kristen is my dream business partner.
I am the co-owner of Cakewalk Events.
That dashing little fella is my 2 year old, Desi, and the handsome bespectacled gentleman in the pictures is my right hand man, Josh.
We got married at our Crossroads venue, in 2020, just a couple of days before Covid shut everything down!
I started my career as a coordinator for a special needs school and I have mad organizational skills. I started coordinating weddings in 2015. Since then, I have coordinated hundreds of weddings and know every intimate detail about what it takes to make a special and worry free event.
Amy and I paired up in 2020 and started building our dream company. Together we have created an inclusive, loving, organized, efficient business that serves our community and it's citizens!
