Tiffani's picture Tiffani Russell

Tiffani Russell is the administrative coordinator for Sterling Engagements. Tiffani creates all of our client books, event detail sheets and assists in keeping our team on track. In addition, she is our bookkeeper, manages new client files and assists at events as our timeline guru. Her can-do attitude makes her a pleasure to be around and her meticulous attention to detail is always handy during our final walk-through before an event begins. Her organizational skills, talent for graphic design and friendly personality, make her a valuable asset to our team.

Born in Arizona and raised in California, Tiffani learned about the wedding industry at a young age, as her father was a wedding photographer. Throughout her work experience she has always remained in the hospitality industry. As a banquet manager for a local steakhouse, Tiffani gained valuable knowledge within the catering side of special events. Prior to joining Sterling Engagements, Tiffani worked in human resources for Fox Sports Grill where she was a jill of all trades and contributed to store openings. It was a natural transition for her to begin working in the wedding and special event industry, as her business management experience simply added to her extensive experience with events.

Whitney was responsible for handling all of the events and designing themes for each one. She developed a creative knack for design and all of her clients loved her. While planning their children’s birthdays, clients would consistently ask her to plan parties for them offsite. Over the course of time she planned a multitude of Mitzvahs and social events, as well as several weddings. Ultimately this led her to a more concrete interest in the wedding and events industry, further leading her to Sterling Engagements.
