When thinking about an event from every perspective, engagement of all five senses is critical to create an environment that guests feel inspired by, and that cement core memories. When asked us to identify who we are inspired by (and what social accounts we follow) one of the answers was obvious:
While we love Josh’s art to bits, we are equally inspired by the spaces he creates. Even through a screen, we can feel all five of our senses being engaged. This scene from his Georgetown backyard was one we shared as inspiration for our brand relaunch.

There is no style icon more captivating than Grace Kelly (she even inspired Princess Catherine’s wedding gown!). This particular image was an immediate inspiration save for our branding day with . It’s timeless, refined, and classic. All words we hope our client’s are seeking to use when describing their events.

The new brand started by going through a Mini Brand Identity VIP day with
Claudia’s process is extremely thoughtful and gave us the opportunity to think deeper about what we want the SoiréeSmith brand to convey to our distinguished clients. Looking at inspiration outside of our industry, Andrea came across today’s inspiration countdown image by architectural designer

Our team was out on the town last night for the Blissful Wishes Ball (aka vendor prom). It’s so fun to see our industry have their turn to get glammed up, get behind the camera, dine, ans dance the night away…all in support of a great cause. Today’s to-dos: all the beverages (and adding firefighter to my c.v.)

Thanks to for the hair ( ) and makeup!

Rewind me back 31 days ago to this day! C&C - to say it was an honour to work with you and your families this past year is understatement! Here’s to one month of love down and a lifetime with each other.

And to the team of vendors that made 09|16|23 possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And to my team that day…couldn’t have done it without you ladies!

We live for the smallest of details.
Just got these gorgeous napkins back from the cleaners and packing them up to send them on their way to our clients.

If you’ve known me for at least a few years your know that I view Shanna Skidmore as my business/money and heck even life coach. Her sage wisdom, financial education and calmness in the storm that can feel like owning a small business has meant more to me that I can put into words. I’ve purchased every course/product she puts out and she’s personally changed my life.

Well today she launched a podcast! You too can have this amazing human being in your ears weekly! I cannot recommend subscribing enough. I got a sneak peek of the first three episodes and they are the raw, unvarnished conversations with fellow female business owners you’re looking for. I promise!
