Our Story

Our small business was established in April of 2018 (and survived a pandemic). Since then, we are proud to have planned and executed countless weddings, events and parties, including non-profit events. With our team growing, we continue to educate ourselves from our clients, mentors and professional educators. We are so excited to have many future clients in our future and can’t wait to continue our adventures!

We are proud to be a preferred and partnered vendor with The Maxwell House in Pasadena. 

We love to give back! We donate 10% of every client fee to Hand in Paw Animal Rescue in Monrovia, CA. We are so proud to have donated over $5,000 since 2019 and we keep on donating!
