What sets me apart is everything I bring to the party. All those careers I had before becoming an Event Planner have provided me with a unique skill set. Combining those skills with my bespoke services is a value-added advantage for my clients. My background in fashion makes it easy for me to guide my clients (brides and grooms) through shopping for or having gowns, suits, shoes, and more custom-made for their weddings. And making these experiences stress-free and fun is, more often than not, very welcome. My background as an Art Dealer has helped me to understand not only the variety of mediums that art encompasses but also that art and the reaction one gets from it is very personal. I am a major proponent of the importance of having the best possible photography done to memorialize a wedding or special event. Great photographs evoke memories and emotions and are a visual history to share, especially with future generations. My background as a Location Manager for feature films taught me how to manage properties and the logistics needed for moving a small army of trucks and people quickly, safely, and efficiently. Not to mention managing everyone's expectations, from the drivers and caterers to the studio executives and film stars. And most importantly, how to spend money to get the biggest bang for the buck and stick to the budget.

My experiences in advertising, aside from reinforcing everything already listed, reminded me that there are always multiple and sometimes very subtle ways to tell a story or create visual references and underscores why I don't offer wedding packages. Each couple deserves someone who can uniquely tell their story. And things considered, I am that person for the couples I work with.

Going back to school at UCLA and earning my Certificate in Nonprofit Fundraising and Institutional Development is one of the best things I have ever done. While it didn't result in the career in Philanthropy I had hoped for; it did lead me to become the Event Planner I am today. In so doing, I have taken part in numerous charitable activities, offering my time and skills to help others. I am very proud to have worked with multiple clients, florists, and caterers to have flowers and food donated to charities, hospitals, and soup kitchens (with necessary safety precautions taken into account) after events.

The world should know that I love what I do, am proud of what I do, and almost always shed a tear when I see my couples marry. My services are genuinely bespoke and, as such, tailored to the needs and budgets of each client. I know I won’t be the right planner for everyone, and that’s alright with me. I’m sarcastic and sentimental, love to laugh and know what I’m doing. And if I don’t know something, I will find the person who does because your event or wedding is not about me; it’s about you, and I promise never to forget that.
