History

Established in 1995.

She has integrated into her business philosophy a high level of organization, attention to detail, integrity, personal care and interest in her clients and is at ease in arranging and planning small dinner parties to large and elaborate formal weddings. Her events have been featured in well-​known wedding publications.
