Crystal Granger
Co-Founder/Creative Director/Floral Designer

Hey friends!!! My name is Crystal! I am a Louisiana native and world traveler.  My travels have allowed me to experience the beauty and creativity of many cultures. I’m a Texas transplant and I have been proud to call Fort Worth, aka, Funky Town, home for over 20 years.  Serving, celebrating, and motivating people is my passion and purpose.  I have been planning events for over 2 decades (I’m not old, I’m experienced!).  I love sweet, southern charm and big city lights.  My life is full of color and laughter.  I have never met a stranger and I love making people feel seen and heard. Life hasn’t always been smooth sailing but facing challenges has made me resilient and resourceful.


Fun Facts:

 

  • I’m married to the man of my dreams, we have a big blended family of 5 kids, 1 grandboy (he calls us LoLo and Big Papa) and a dog named Max.

  • I love sweet tea so much that I’m pretty sure it runs through my veins.

  • I love fashion forward clothing but would rather wear yoga pants…one day I’m gonna find a way to marry the two styles.

  • I hate shoes but don’t worry, I’ll wear them to your wedding or event.

  • I LOVE BROADWAY, I’ve seen at least 40 shows on Broadway in New York City!

Antonio Granger
Co-Founder

I was born and raised in Detroit.  I was an athlete in high school and I  attended Boston College where I  was inducted into their Hall of Fame for excellence in Basketball.  My athletic career continued for 11 years as professional basketball player throughout Europe.  After retirement, I began a new life as a business owner.  I took on the challenge of owning an event planning company with my wife, Crystal. My life as an athlete has given me the skills to work well with our team.  I love a good party and good food. Do I still love sports?....Let’s just say, my wife can’t get me away from the TV during the NBA finals or football season.


Fun Facts:

 

  • I’m kind of a homebody these days.

  • I can play marathon games of Call of Duty with my buddies.

  • Working out is my stress reliever.

Janay Bickerstaff
Lead Planner

Hey y’all! I’m Janay!
I grew up in a tiny Texas town but moved to Ft Worth in 2009. I instantly fell in love with the
city! I’ve been a certified wedding coordinator since 2010. I’m truly living my little girl dreams
by planning dream weddings! My absolute favorite part of weddings is the walk down the aisle!
To me, it’s the moment all the behind-the-scenes work comes together…but for my couples, it’s
one of the biggest moments of their life! One they will never forget. The look on the grooms
face…ahh swoon!
I truly believe life and love are to be celebrated BIG!

    year long.

Hi there! My name is Pam! With over 20 years experience, I’ve had the unique opportunity to be a part of planning events as large as 400,000 guests and as intimate as 10 guests.  What makes each and every event special is getting to know the client; once we spend some time together I’m certain the creative wheels will start turning!  I love taking your personality, together with your vision, and making your special day become all that you hope for.

I enjoy meeting with my clients to help them create the event of their dreams from beginning to end. I’m all about the details. Your special day is important to me because you are important to me. My goal is to have everything in place beforehand, so you can just kick back and have fun on your event day. Let’s celebrate!

What’s up! I have been working for FunkyTown Affairs for 2 years.  I also work as a mentor in the Fort Worth ISD for an organization called, My Brother’s Keeper.  I love to serve and inspire.  I also love to cook – I can fry chicken better than the Colonel. I am an avid photographer and I do graphic design for several High School sports teams.

Misti Michaelson
Floral Designer

Hey y’all, I’m Misti and I’m Texas born and bred! Floral design has passion of mine since I was young. My precious grandmother taught me how to create something beautiful out of blooms and greenery and I love it so much that even though it’s my job, it’s never felt like work.  I feel so blessed to be able to create a dream for someone. I’m a hard worker, I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty and I have an intense attention to detail.


Fun Facts:

 

  • I’m a thrill seeker.

  • Animal lover!

  • Yellow is my favorite color!

This is the BEST wedding coordinating team I have ever seen! I planned weddings myself for a few years and was impressed with Crystal and her team. They tended to every detail, were more than helpful leading up to the big day and made everything ran smoothly the entire wedding day... start to finish. She is sweet, talented, has the BEST eye and sense of style! I would highly recommend Crystal and her team for your wedding or any special event!
