did you know…

I firmly believe that the way to anyone’s heart, mind, and soul is through a fantastic experience that tantalizes the five senses. When you combine such a sensory experience with great company, then you have an unforgettable moment. Whether it be a celebration of love or life, a charity event, or a corporate function, the only universal language in the world that includes everyone is love, laughter, and great food. No matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, you’re always welcome at my table, as my guest, at any celebration I plan. I am excited to celebrate with you!

Having planned nearly 1000 + events in my professional career has led me to the realization of one of many key things. I won’t work late nights or wake up early in the morning for something I don’t love doing. They say finding your passion and making money doing it is the key to happiness. Event planning is definitely one of the very few things that keep me alive and excited. Having been able to combine my passion for events, and helping the community has truly been a blessing. The fact that I can help so many people come together, for a common cause, and enjoy an event is so very rewarding.

My knowledge and experience have stemmed from receiving a phenomenal education from one of the top 3 schools of hospitality management in the country. Not only did I receive a Bachelor’s Degree from The Collins College of Hospitality Management at California State Polytechnic University, but the amount of hands-on experience in every aspect of this business has given me the upper hand to ensure each event is planned professionally, and every detail is taken into consideration. Oftentimes clients ask me how I know so much. My answer always falls back to experience and education.

In addition to the many services I provide for my clients, I always want to ensure that they get a better experience with whomever they come into contact with. Whether we are planning a beautiful wedding for 350 people, or a multi-day corporate event, I want to provide my clients with the confidence, trust, and dependability that I would seek in any professional vendor. The professional vendor teams that we work with align with our professional values and ethics in our industry. We always strive to do better, and providing our clients with a better experience is crucial to our bottom line.

I have been fortunate enough to have worked with several organizations that help young military veterans who have needed assistance in getting their lives back on track post-service. I have helped many find careers, establish new lives, and turn their lives around from homelessness and addiction to productive members of their community. My ability to give back in several ways and to the different organizations is key to the success of my business. For we believe, that if it wasn’t for the courage and sacrifice of our military, we would not have the freedom we take for granted each day.

I wake up each morning in gratitude and positivity. For I am blessed and grateful to have the amazing work experience in event planning and hospitality. In addition, I am also a professionally trained chef, 3 - time half-marathon runner, lake tahoe lover, world traveler, tea and coffee lover, wine and cheese enthusiast, see’s candies sampler, and lover of fresh flowers. I also use my culinary knowledge and experience to help my clients enhance their guest’s dining experience throughout their events. To say I get excited when I have foodie clients is an understatement. Now, let’s start planning!
