In the twenty years that have followed, I've built not only a career, but a life centered around the philosophy of hospitality and the art of hosting. Whether an intimate dinner party at home, a bustling restaurant environment, or a large event in a swanky space, I believe that the core of hospitality is bringing people together - not just physically, but emotionally - and if you're feeling existential - spiritually, too.  

​

Gathering over food and drink has been the ritual through which humans have traditionally marked and shared major occasions of the heart for centuries. Though we often don't think of sitting down to brunch with friends, wedding dinners, or funeral repasts as being necessarily profound, these are still the primary ways in which we celebrate, mourn, build and share connections with those around us. And because of this, every event - no matter how large or small - presents the unique opportunity to be something truly meaningful, beautiful, and memorable.

​

I've had the pleasure and honor of planning and executing events in some of the most amazing spaces for the most amazing clients. (I know that it's not everyday you get Martha Stewart, Snoop Dog, and the Mayor of New York on the same guest list.) Throughout my career, I've worked with a lot of couples and I've discovered a common thread of struggles and challenges they face throughout the process of planning an event. So, most recently, I've set out to develop a set of top-notch, user-friendly tools and resources tailored to brides and grooms. As a planner, first and foremost, and not a digital creator, my primary focus is on creating companions that accompany couples throughout their entire planning journey. My products are here to help couples make sense of the countless tasks they need to complete, offering tips and guidance, professional organization, and beautiful design. What truly sets them apart is that they have been tried and tested in the real world. All of the products I sell have been used in my own planning practice.
