After years of arranging other people’s momentous celebrations—from weddings to anniversaries to corporate gatherings—it’s time for Krystal Moreno to do a little celebrating on her own. Please join us in welcoming Shutters on the Beach & Hotel Casa del Mar’s new Associate Director of Catering!
Fresh off a successful 10-year catering career, Moreno’s hospitality experience is second only to her unwavering passion. A self-proclaimed “hotel geek,” she’s put her stamp on a variety of venues throughout California, including Long Beach’s luxury ocean liner The Queen Mary, San Francisco’s Hotel Adagio, and Hilton San Francisco, Union Square.
Most notable was her recent tenure with Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica, where she rose from senior wedding and events manager to eventually become acting director of catering. In charge of all VIP and non-profit events—for clients like DirectTV, Google, Viacom, MTV, Boys & Girls Club of America, the GRAMMY Foundation—she made quite name for herself, recognized by The Knot in 2012 and 2013 for “Best Pick for Weddings” and an Editor’s Choice Award.
Needless to say, we’re very excited for what Moreno, a Certified Wedding Coordinator, will bring to what are already two of California’s premier event venues at Shutters & Casa del Mar. With 5,100 square feet of meeting space at her disposal, your next event by the sea promises to be better than ever.
Krystal, let’s get this party started!
