The Coda's Collective

02/02/2025

Honored to be featured in House of Coco Magazine, sharing a glimpse into my journey and the vision behind The Coda’s Collective. What started as a love for crafting meaningful experiences has evolved into something so much bigger—turning weddings and travel into immersive, intentional, and unforgettable moments.

This article dives into how we’re redefining luxury, blending culture, design, and a deep love for storytelling to create celebrations that truly feel like you. It’s been a wild, beautiful ride getting here, and I couldn’t have done it without the most incredible team, clients, and vendor partners.

Life has a way of signaling change—those quiet moments when one chapter closes and another begins. For me, butterflies have always symbolized transformation—gentle reminders to embrace growth and trust the journey ahead.

They’ve appeared in my life during pivotal moments, guiding me forward. Including one in our new logo felt like a natural extension of our story, a reflection of how far we’ve come and where we’re headed.

And then there’s the tulip—a symbol of hope, renewal, and resilience. Tulips bloom after the harshness of winter, embodying courage and the promise of beauty when stepping into the light. This flower has always been a favorite of mine, and it felt right to intertwine its meaning into our logo as a reminder of bold beginnings and graceful growth.

Together, the butterfly and tulip perfectly represent The Coda’s Collective—a boutique hospitality firm rooted in transformation and intentionality. This evolution is more than just a name change; it’s the heart of who we are now. The Coda’s Collective unites Coda's Events, Petit by Coda's, Coda's Travel, and soon, The Coda's Collective Shop (launching Fall 2025), creating a home for thoughtful design, seamless experiences, and elevated hospitality.

A special thank you to for bringing this vision to life. Our new logo is more than an image—it’s a symbol of what we stand for and the possibilities that lie ahead.
