My love affair for all things planning, design, and organization began at an early age, and that drive and enthusiasm quickly landed me into the world of events and weddings! With over a decade of experience in the weddings and events profession and having executed 250+ successful weddings and social events, my passion for this industry and connecting with others runs deep. I like the challenge of creating authentic and meaningful celebrations that conceptualize my clients' personalities, family traditions, and distinctive tastes. As a serious organizer, I know that creating one-a-kind moments suits my meticulous and outgoing personality. I live for the hug and 'thank you' at the end of each event knowing my couples have been spoiled and well taken care of. It makes my planner's heart skip a beat!
