How It All Began...

Saturday, April 15, 2000 is when it all started. I remember that day like it was yesterday. It’s the day that I was bitten by the event planning bug. I had the pleasure of planning a beautiful Surprise 50th Birthday party for 100 guests. Every reaction I witnessed from the guests as they entered the venue was incredibly satisfying. And my client burst into tears upon arriving.

Making The Dream A Reality...

To me, an event planner is like a maestro. The noises of the instruments are individually elegant, but the magnificence of the sound is the manifestation of the story being told.

My love and passion for event planning is revealed in the look on my clients’ faces when they walk into a room. The joy, relief, and comfort of knowing that “it’ll be okay” is what my 20 years of part-time experience in event and wedding planning brings to the table. In 2005, an entrepreneurship class solidified my passion and catalyzed me to make my passion more formal. In the subsequent years, I received an event planning license and began to more officially plan events for friends and family. I have since provided full consulting, ad-hoc consulting, and day-of services for numerous events including weddings, birthday parties, corporate and non-profit events, and baby showers. In 2007, I participated in my own wedding! Today, I share my love of event planning with my husband and young daughter.
