"LIFE IS A PARTY!"

Life is about living! Living and celebrating all the milestones, all the tiny moments that come together and create memories.

 

I can remember being 10 – my mom let me plan every detail of my birthday celebration. And that’s when I knew I loved creating something special.

 

I can remember being 15 ½ at my first job – I walked into the Bridal Suite and watched the most beautiful bride take her pre-ceremony photos. And that’s when I knew I wanted to see more moments like that.

 

I can remember being 23 – I arrived at my boyfriend’s Graduation Party that he turned into a surprise Engagement Party. And that’s when I knew I wanted to share that feeling of so much joy with as many people as possible.  

 

I can remember being 30 – I planned my son’s first birthday.  So many emotions of getting through the first year…our BIRTHday celebration together. And that’s when I knew I wanted to help others celebrate their big-life milestones!​​​

​

So many moments in time, so many reasons to celebrate. Planning, designing, and bringing people together is who I am. It's in me. I love watching people gather, connect, and celebrate.

 

My background in hospitality started at 15 1/2 in my hometown at the Grand Tradition Estate & Gardens in Fallbrook, CA. Weekends were filled with music and watching beautiful moments. I loved it - dancing while serving people and being part of something so incredibly special.

 

While attending college at San Diego State University, I continued serving tables at a local restaurant, Fish House Vera Cruz. I loved connecting with people, managing my own little section, and creating memories for first-time diners and my weekly regulars.

 

Right out of college, I was lucky enough to get an opportunity at a Private Country Club (Shadow Ridge) as their Private Event Director. I quickly learned how to manage events and teams while working closely with clients to bring their ideas to life.

 

When the opportunity came to move into the hotel world, I was so excited to connect with people as they gathered to celebrate incredible events — weddings, anniversary parties, corporate retreats, holiday gatherings, and everything in between.

 

I loved my time at the Hotel Del Coronado, Four Seasons, and Park Hyatt. The relationships built with my clients and coworkers are lifelong. Being surrounded by like-minded people who share the same passion for creating amazing guest experiences has helped shape who I am today.

 

Now, as I run my own company, I'm beyond grateful to the clients and vendors who work alongside me to create beautiful, memorable events and experiences here on the Central Coast and beyond.

​

With more than two decades of experience in event planning and design, I understand that when you're planning an event, it can feel like it's the most important thing going on in your life — because it is! Whether it's a four-person VP meeting or a 1,500-person holiday soirée, I'll be there every step of the way. I love the design, I love the planning, and most of all, I love the relationships built along the way. From the first brainstorming session to the finishing touches, my goal is to create a celebration that feels special to you and your guests.

​

I'd be honored to be part of your special day!

 

Cheers to celebrating all the things,

Kelly
