About Christopher Rivera

With over 15 years of experience in luxury event planning and more than 8 years in commercial aviation, I bring a unique blend of hospitality, leadership, and operational excellence to every role I undertake. As Founder & CEO of First Class Event Services, I’ve grown a passion project into one of the most in-demand event service companies in the country—operating in New York, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida. Our team executes 300+ high-end events annually, including weddings, corporate experiences, and travel coordination, driven by a commitment to flawless service and client satisfaction. Each state operates with a dedicated team that I personally mentor and lead to maintain the First Class standard. In aviation, I’ve proudly served as a flight attendant for both Delta Air Lines and Spirit Airlines, building 7+ years of frontline experience and over 8 years in the industry. This work has deepened my expertise in customer service, crisis management, and global travel logistics—all skills I leverage in my business and beyond. With a background in education and an innate passion for elevating experiences, I’m always open to new opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and growth within the aviation, travel, and events sectors. Let’s connect and explore how we can create unforgettable experiences together.
