Slowly but surely finding my way ( & my event wares) post cross-country move, just in time for cute brunch season 💕

This vibrant setup arranged with was a feast for the eyes and taste buds.

With each season there comes new inspiration, for me spring always represents awakening, rebirth & celebrating the lighter side of life 🦋

I'll take the classic with a side of whimsy.
always & forever ♥️

For the past few years, I’ve been fortunate to plan events along the majestic Oregon Coast, a collection of sites and experiences I'll carry through the next chapters. In the new year my family will be moving home to Cleveland Ohio for more time with loved ones and Ill be closing out services in Oregon.

Starting an event business after a cross-country move was one of the bolder moves of my lifetime but it was post 2020 and the unemployment and isolation of it all lit a fire (pours glass looking back, ha!)

I am grateful for the people who trusted me with plans for some of life’s most special moments, and for the event friends I collaborated with along the way. Thank you for taking a chance on someone newer to town.

From the scenic hills of Astoria, over the Megler Bridge to Seaview, to where the road ends in Oysterville, winding through the trees in Ecola State Park looking out to Haystack Rock and driving along the misty Kilchis River, a sample of magical places where this role has led…I pinched myself often at the views, always appreciating the chance to plan in such a beautiful destination.

Seeing my event clients and wedding couples enjoy the moments after all the planning has kept me going. Creating memorable events with thoughtful details is my passion and I am just getting started.

The next few months will be a time to regroup. I hope to be celebrating with you sooner than later in Northeast Ohio.

After wrapping a project, a former client once sent me the note, “Fair winds and following seas.” I can’t think of a better meditation as I close out my time in Astoria, OR ⚓♥️

cheers & love,

Jen

It might be the old school in me but when the great debate of cake vs. desserts comes up on wedding day I say let's do both...Long live a cake-cutting moment to spark up a celebration.

Congrats to wedding day cuties Iris & Sean

A gorgeous late August palette for Iris & Sean’s wedding day, surrounded by layers & layers of Oregon forest greens.

The rain before the wedding kept us wondering but it was just doing its magic 🍃✨
