We recently connected with Tracey Castrejon and have shared our conversation below.

Tracey, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

I hope my legacy as a woman entrepreneur is one of elegance, resilience, and impact. I want to be remembered for building businesses that not only thrived but also inspired others-especially women- to pursue their dreams fearlessly.
My legacy will be one of integrity, creativity, and generosity, where I uplifted others, created opportunities, and left a lasting mark on the industries I touched. Even after I am gone, I hope my work continues to empower and inspire.

Tracey, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Hey there! I’m Tracey Castrejon, the founder and lead planner of Tracey Castrejon Events—a luxury wedding planning company dedicated to creating stunning, seamless, and stress-free weddings for exquisite couples. My journey into the wedding industry started with a deep love for design, organization, and celebrations. What began as a passion quickly turned into a career where I get to bring once-in-a-lifetime visions to life, and honestly, I can’t imagine doing anything else.

At Tracey Castrejon Events, we believe weddings should feel just as effortless as they are beautiful. Let’s be real—planning a wedding is a massive undertaking, and that’s where my team and I come in. We handle all the details, logistics, and the inevitable curveballs so our couples can actually enjoy the experience and focus on what matters most—celebrating their love. We specialize in full-service planning, which means we take care of everything from securing the perfect venue and curating a dream team of vendors to designing an event that feels elevated, intentional, and truly you.

So, what makes us different? Our experience, our eye for detail, and our approach to planning. Every couple is unique, and I believe their wedding should reflect them—not just a trend or a Pinterest board. I take the time to get to know my couples, understand their vision, and execute it in a way that feels personal, artful, and timeless. Plus, as a preferred vendor at some of the most prestigious venues, we’ve built incredible relationships with top-tier vendors, giving our clients access to the very best.

One thing I’m incredibly proud of is the way we elevate the planning experience. A wedding isn’t just a day—it’s a memory in the making, a milestone that deserves to be handled with care, intention, and expertise. I have a knack for anticipating needs before they arise, which means my couples can relax, knowing everything is handled with precision and grace.

Beyond weddings, I’m passionate about helping other creatives thrive. While I love the artistry of the industry, I know that streamlining processes and optimizing workflows are what truly set successful businesses apart. I’m currently developing a course that focuses on refining client experience through efficient systems and processes, helping creatives create a seamless, high-end service that feels effortless for both them and their clients. When operations run smoothly, businesses not only grow—they thrive.

For those considering working with me, here’s what you should know: I’m all in. When you hire me, you’re getting more than a planner—you’re getting an advocate, a visionary, and someone who genuinely cares about making your wedding experience unforgettable. I also believe in the power of relationships—whether it’s with my couples, vendors, or fellow creatives, collaboration is at the heart of everything I do.

At the end of the day, my mission goes beyond just planning stunning weddings—it’s about creating experiences, building relationships, and leaving a lasting impact. Whether you’re a couple dreaming of a luxury wedding or a creative looking to take your business to the next level, I’m here to help bring your vision to life with elegance, intention, and excellence.

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

My reputation has been built on a foundation of service, excellence, and genuine care. I believe that the key to success in this industry isn’t just about creating beautiful events—it’s about how you show up for people. From day one, I’ve prioritized bringing a spirit of collaboration, kindness, and unwavering support to every wedding.

On event days, I’m not just a planner—I’m a problem solver, a calming presence, and an advocate for my clients. Whether that means stepping in to adjust the details, supporting my vendor team, or anticipating needs before they arise, I am always thinking ahead to ensure my couples feel taken care of. Keeping my clients at the heart of everything I do has allowed me to build trust, strong relationships, and a reputation for delivering not just stunning weddings, but an exceptional experience from start to finish.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

One of the greatest tests of resilience in my journey was navigating the challenges of COVID-19 alongside my couples. The uncertainty, constant changes, and emotional weight of postponements and cancellations were overwhelming—not just for them, but for me as a planner. My role suddenly became more than just coordinating weddings; it was about guiding couples through heartbreak, uncertainty, and the daunting task of reimagining their dream day.

There were countless moments of pivoting—rescheduling, redesigning, reworking contracts, and finding creative ways to ensure my couples still got to say their I Do’s. Some shifted to intimate ceremonies, others postponed multiple times, and each decision came with an emotional toll. I carried their stress, their disappointments, and their hopes, all while trying to keep my own business afloat.

But through that season, I found my strength. I leaned into problem-solving, adaptability, and the deep relationships I had built with my clients and vendor partners. I learned that resilience isn’t just about pushing through—it’s about showing up with grace, finding new solutions, and keeping the heart of my work at the center: creating unforgettable moments, no matter the obstacles.

That experience shaped the business I have today—one built on trust, unwavering dedication, and a commitment to serving my couples with excellence, no matter what comes our way. Walking through that chapter refined my purpose, strengthened my approach, and solidified the values that define my brand.
