"LIFE IS A PARTY!"
I met my husband in high school, and we've been married now for almost 20 years. With four kids, two cats, and a plethora of sports practices, games, and school activities to attend, you can rest assured that life is chaotic, but I've found that embracing the chaos is the only way to go. Life is all about what we make of it, and I choose to make every single day worth celebrating. This way of thinking started at home but the joy I've been able to provide by creating celebrations for others is unmatched.
To all of my past and current clients, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special celebrations. And to all of those I've yet to meet, I look forward to working with you!
ABOUT MISS PARTY MAMA
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. These are just some of the reasons I love creating events. Planning, celebrating, and bringing people together is who I am. It is in me. I love to watch 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 the connection and managing my own little section 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, my team, and work with clients. When the opportunity came to move into the hotel world, I was so excited to really connect with people as they moved into hotels for the weekend 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 likeminded people who share the same passion and love for cultivating amazing experiences for their guests and all the guests I've met along the way has made me who I am today.
Now as I run my own company, I am beyond grateful to the clients and vendors who as a team help me grow and curate beautiful and memorable events and experiences here on the Central Coast and beyond. I look forward to an opportunity to work and create magic together with you. I understand that while planning an event, it is likely the most important thing going on in your life. Whether it’s a 4-person V.P. Meeting or a 1500-person holiday soiree, I will be there every step of the way. I love the design, I love the planning and mostly, I love the relationship-building all along the way. I’d be honored to be a part of your special day.
Cheers to celebrating all the things,
Kelly
