Creating Beautiful Memories in the Green Mountain State

Growing up, my parents entertained a lot.  I spent my childhood years watching them collaborate on gourmet meals, beautiful table settings and above all else ensuring their guests felt loved and special.  That love they poured into their hosting eventually enveloped me as well.

While I am an interior designer by trade, along the way life nudged (perhaps pushed?) me into event planning.  It became the arena that I could most clearly execute the skills that I've been honing since those days of setting the forks and knives on my parents' table: planner, producer, manager, coordinator.  I love focusing on the details, those tiny things that pop up inevitably in any undertaking and learning how to adapt and most importantly solve the problem at hand with a smile on my face.  If there is a mantra I try and adhere to, it's "Keep Calm and Carry On."  I don't just love what I do, I love that I get to do it for other people; I love working diligently and silently behind the scenes to ensure that every guest that attends one of my events feels loved and special.

I wasn't born to be an event planner, but I was raised to be one.  I can't wait to show you what that means to me.

MY STORY

Growing up in a bustling family, I learned early on that hosting wasn’t just something we did — it was part of who we were. My parents taught me the joy of welcoming people, paying attention to the details that matter, and creating moments that make others feel seen and celebrated. That foundation shaped everything that followed.

With a natural talent for organizing and a lifelong love for beautiful spaces, I transitioned from my career as an interior designer to pursue what had always been calling me: event planning. More than a decade later, I’ve had the privilege of planning weddings and events throughout Vermont and beyond, all while raising a family and nurturing my love for creating memorable experiences.

For me, event planning isn’t just a profession — it’s a way of life. My approach is simple: Keep Calm and Carry On. I’m known for bringing a calm, steady presence to high-stress moments, solving challenges with a smile, and ensuring my clients feel supported and taken care of from the very first meeting to the final farewell.

Success, in my eyes, is measured by the joy, ease, and connection my clients feel — and the laughter of guests long after the night is over.

From intimate elopements in the mountains to large-scale weddings, corporate events, and brand launches, I bring creativity, organization, and heart to every celebration. I may not have been born to be an event planner, but I was definitely raised to be one — and I can’t wait to bring that to your day..
