Meet the Event Planner on a Mission to Create Sustainable Celebrations
Hello there! I'm a wife, mother of two, passionate baker, and an event planner who's committed to living sustainably. I'm thrilled to be able to turn my passion into a career, which is event management with eco-friendly solutions. With the abundance of earth-friendly options available now, planning events with sustainable efforts is something that excites me greatly.
William Shakespeare once said, "All the world's a stage," and that quote has always resonated with me. It has helped me realize my purpose - my mark on this stage - which is to leave the world a cleaner, brighter, and healthier place than when I first entered it. I want my children and their children to reap the benefits of our actions today.
While we strive to live sustainably, it's important to note that it's not always easy. As we continuously learn and adapt, we come to realize that it's not possible to fully embrace sustainable living 100% of the time. Our main objective is to be conscious of our impact on the world, and do what we can, whenever we can.
During my 15-year career, I've planned almost 200 weddings, ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, DIY and budget-friendly weddings, as well as chic and elegant affairs. My experience working in boutique hotels, and managing one-of-a-kind venue spaces has given me an in-depth understanding of how events run behind the scenes, which allows me to execute seamless and unforgettable weddings.
I'm passionate about every aspect of the event planning process, and I'm excited to bring your vision to life with an eco-friendly touch!
