How It All Started — From California to Cincinnati
My journey into event planning began in California, when I started throwing elaborate, budget-friendly birthday parties for my daughter. I poured my creativity into every detail—transforming everyday items into something magical—and those parties quickly got attention. Soon, other moms were asking me to help with their events too.
At the same time, I was organizing fundraisers through my business, which gave me hands-on experience managing larger events, logistics, and tight budgets. Everything grew organically through word of mouth—one event turned into another, and before long, what started as a passion project turned into a full-fledged business.
Now, Grace Celebrations is a multi-state company, and I still work personally with every client to capture the exact feeling and look they want—whether it’s a cozy dinner party or a 500-person wedding. I love every part of the process: brainstorming, designing, coordinating, and finally watching it all come together like a perfect puzzle.
When I expanded into Cincinnati—my third city—I immediately felt the warmth and excitement from clients here. There’s something special about the Queen City’s blend of tradition and creativity, and I’m honored to be part of the celebrations that make it shine.
I like to call myself the “planner for people who think they can’t afford a planner.” Whatever your budget is, I’ll help you make the most of it—and create something unforgettable.
