Step into a fairytale at Ethereal Gardens, where dreams truly do come to life. The enchanting scenery and magical ambiance create the perfect backdrop for a beautiful wedding celebration. ✨🌸
It was such a surprise when we received the notification that we were featured on @PartySlate.
I cannot explain the feeling we had when we saw how they highlighted all the dreamy vibes this venue has to offer.
I had so much fun planning and creating with this couple and their families. I love when I get to let my creative juices flow and we can deliver everything and THEN SOME to our clients.

Turning Moments into Memories: Crafting Extraordinary Social Events
I had the beautiful opportunity to merge my wedding and social planning into one event.
I am the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the SoCal WIPA organization. When this event was thought of, we were thinking of ways to expand our knowledge of weddings done in other cultures. There are so many cultures represented in our society and being from the Western culture, we have typically focused on those.
I truly walked away feeling more connected as an industry and feeling like we continuously are breaking down barriers amongst one another.

African Wedding:
Planning
Something has been brewing and I’m ready to share.
What happens when a teacher, accountant, and event planner are one person? An idea to marry the 3 is created and now it’s almost time to release. Check out my video on how this came about.
I believe all things happen for a reason and now is the time for this project to be launched!!! I’m so excited.

Happy Friday! Did you know that we recently closed out the official engagement season this week with Valentine’s Day? Many couples elected to say yes to spending the rest of their lives with the one they love! It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder…I want to encourage ALL couples to never forget that beauty that brought you together it will carry you for a lifetime...it is something that is unique and special to each individual couple…it is what allows you to be deeply in love or simply be the best of friends…it allows each couple to create their own story, experiences, and memories that will transcend time…now that’s what I call something special.

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
I love working with my couples and it was super fun planning with Anjali for their special day. She was the sweetest bride and she knew exactly what she wanted for their wedding weekend.
Planning a wedding can be a fun and exciting experience, but it can also be a bit overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you create a beautiful and memorable wedding:
The first tip I tell my couples is to make the wedding celebration their own. There are so many traditions that can be incorporated, but you don’t want to look back at your wedding and feel like you’re at someone else’s celebration.
Next, think about the atmosphere you want to create.
Do you want a formal or informal event? A classic or modern look?
Deciding on your atmosphere will play a big role in the venue you choose. Choosing the right location can make all the difference in the feel of your wedding.
Think about how you want to decorate. What design elements can you incorporate that will add meaningful and personal touches that make it unique to you?
This can also be incorporated into the menu you choose which should be a blend of what you like, but you also want your guests to enjoy the dining experience.
And we cannot forget about the music! Music can set the tone for your wedding and can definitely make it a night that your guests will remember and walk away saying that was the best event ever!

Love is such a beautiful feeling and one of the most important things in life. Whether it’s the love between friends or family, romantic love, or self-love, it’s important to embrace it and appreciate how special it is. Get into the Love ❤️
