Gratitude

Owning a business for the better part of 25 years comes with so many stories, trials, tribulations, celebrations, tears, fears, triumphs, and indescribable relationships The lovely humans at the heart of our events is why I have been planning and designing for so long. Surrounding myself with the most incredible talent and hard working, never give up type of kinship has had so many rewards I am in awe and full of gratitude. xoxo
