Her Story
About Celeste
Celeste Kaitsa owns and operates CK Loves Events, a business she launched in 2017 focused on event planning, particularly for children. She brings her artistic talents and creativity to design events and also creates craft kits as an additional offering. Her passion for this work stems from ideas she developed with her mother, a professional opera singer and production manager, prior to her mother's passing, and she used inheritance from her mother to build the business. In addition to running her side business, Celeste works full time and teaches preschool at a language school on weekends, experiences that have honed her ability to create engaging activities for children. She attributes her success to her mother and her faith, and values trust and integrity in her professional relationships. Celeste notes that driving business remains a key challenge in the current economy, and she seeks opportunities through events with families and daycare centers.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Celeste
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think I owe my mom everything. Jesus is my biggest support system. That's why my business means so much to me, because it was something that I used from her inheritance to build.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
I don't know that I ever have received any career advice. You have to learn to listen to criticism. If you can't learn to listen to criticism, then you can't grow.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The challenges are definitely driving business. In our economy it's hard. Being me and doing events where there are families or daycare centers helps get business.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Trust and integrity. People that really want to see you succeed, boost you up and lift you up.
