"My first real love for events came when I planned my own wedding back in 2012. I didn't have formal training in event planning, but I knew what I wanted: thoughtful details, great food, and little surprises for guests. When I started planning events for other people, I was always drawn to a particular aesthetic: sophisticated, intentional, and service-driven. Over time, I naturally found my way into the luxury space, and now find myself creating custom experiences for CEOs, attorneys, and high-profile athletes."
"Pricing always depends on the scope, and my fees are not based on head count - it's about the complexity of the experience I'm tasked with creating. A private dinner could cost $10,000 to $50,000, depending on the chef, the wine, or the details. A weekend-long celebration could easily run into six figures or more. Clients want meaningful, immersive experiences We're known for beautiful weddings, but more recently, I've noticed that same energy and attention to detail extending to other kinds of celebrations."
"We're known for beautiful weddings, but more recently, I've noticed that same energy and attention to detail extending to other kinds of celebrations. My clients these days are planning three-day birthday weekends, milestone dinners, or full-scale destination gatherings that are just as curated and intentional as weddings. These events are immersive and multi-layered, offering morning-to-night experiences: a pool party or golf outing during the day, followed by a themed dinner, live entertainment, and a late-night after-party that can last until 4 a.m."
