Growing up in rural Upstate New York, I began my coordinating career by planning daily parties for my furry four legged friends. These parties were complete with delicious treats, (edible) flower crowns for all, and picnics under our 100 year old apple tree. As I got older, I moved on to vintage treasure hunting and lifeguarding in the cold ocean waters off the New England coast during my college summers. After college, I traded in the country life to move to the big city, New York City, where I transitioned into producing and styling photo and video shoots for large advertising companies.

Love of adventure brought me to the Pacific Northwest and true love kept me here. I was lucky enough to meet my husband in Portland and have been happily exploring the Pacific Northwest ever since.

It sometimes takes a major life event to discover your true passion; what will make you happy each day. For me, this catalyst was planning my own wedding. Having a background in planning and production, combined with an eye for “putting a room together” and knowing the devil is in the details, helped me transition to event planning and design with ease. Each event is personal, each design is unique. 

My favorite part of working with couples is being able to establish a relationship with each one and help showcase their individuality, finding out what is truly important to them as a couple. Watching them relax and be able to enjoy the day after all of their hard work is just the icing on the cake!
