MEET JACQUI
Jacqui began her professional career planning corporate events in Major League Baseball after graduating from the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Management.

Jacqui is at the helm of every project and prides herself in meticulously handling every last detail, leaving nothing unnoticed. Her creative drive, impeccable taste, and dedication to her clients has solidified her as one of the leading professionals in the area, as recognized by her colleagues and clients alike.
MEET KATHIE
Kathie has always had an admiration for planning parties and events, whether corporate, for friends or personal. Her journey into event planning began after her son's wedding.

Kathie exudes a nurturing demeanor, allowing you to relax throughout the process and take in and enjoy every moment of your special day. She believes that planning a wedding should not be stressful or overwhelming, but fun and inspiring. As a mom, she offers support and guidance; as an event professional, she offers her knowledge, expertise and experience. Kathie realizes how important organization, communication and flexibility are and handles every occasion in a highly professional manner, while maintaining a level of calm in stressful situations. She knows that planning any event can often times be a daunting task, but her ability to handle with patience, kindness and ease is invaluable.
