What do you love most about your job?
Creating memorable experiences that are a deep reflection of my clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been planning events of some kind since 6th grade when I joined the student government association. Since then, I've held many leadership positions in extra curriculars that allowed me the opportunity to plan a variety of events. This led me to a marketing, branding, and event planning corporate career - always sitting on teams support small to large scale events. On the wedding side, I remember falling in love with weddings in 5th grade. I've personally attended or been apart of so many family and friends weddings and have planned all of the related events if I haven't served as a day of coordinator or a second photographer or you name it! In one year alone, I was invited to 18 weddings and I was in 9 of them!!
Why should our clients choose you?
I invest in my clients. Each event is a unique opportunity to bring the right vendor team together to pull off an engaging and memorable event for you and your guests.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
A hybrid approach is best for planning together. I'm a visual learner - I need to be able to see and feel the space to think about the entire guest experience.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I work with each client to discuss comfort levels and safety precautions for Covid-19. My staff and I are fully vaccinated and we always have masks packed.
