"Our guests couldn’t stop taking photos!"
Working with SALO SALO was such a wonderful experience. The florals and food matched our vision perfectly — every detail felt so thoughtful and cohesive. Our guests couldn’t stop taking photos! The team was incredibly easy to work with and made the entire process seamless from start to finish.

"The tablescaping was NEXT LEVEL, with a beautiful display that mimicked the local landscape and incorporated flowers alongside delicious light bites."
Christina and her team created an incredible spread for the new Rivian space grand opening in Walnut Creek. The tablescaping was NEXT LEVEL, with a beautiful display that mimicked the local landscape and incorporated flowers alongside delicious light bites. The food was the centerpiece of our opening night. Christina worked with me on my vision for the event ahead of time to create exactly what we were looking for. Day-of, her team was efficient, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless.

"Christina has incredible vision, making a clear connection between the brand messaging and food."
Christina has incredible vision, listened to our client's goals, event themes and aesthetic, and translated it to a truly memorable experience, making a clear connection between the brand messaging and food. Beyond a stunning installation with mirrored platters, thoughtful props and handwritten table signage, Salo Salo's dips, small bites and flavors were inventive and truly some of the best I've had at any event.

A kitchen kid with a planner’s brain.
I grew up on food and gathering // it’s in my blood.
My lolo was a cook in the Philippines. Joining the Navy was his ticket to the U.S. — the reason my family is here today. Every holiday, birthday, or “the game’s on” centered on food (and yes, Auntie Charlie’s chocolate crème pie). By 13, I was touring CIA because I just knew I wanted to be a chef, until The Wedding Planner convinced me otherwise. But even then, after every cheer practice, I was back in the kitchen, throwing together 30-minute meals and using garbage bowls just to learn.
Food is in my DNA, just like entrepreneurship. And combine my Wedding Planner, type-A personality (event producer of 10+ years reporting for duty) + my incessant need to host parties, shout-out my 8th birthday slumber party, 'Paris Fashion Show' themed, and ya girl was set out for the sweetest journey yet.
Salo Salo is where what I was raised on collides with what I built.
It's my joy to serve people + create memories with my food + styling. I hope to serve you soon.
