The photos displayed to the right are three big events that I planned, coordinated, and designed over the last several years. In addition to these events I have assisted in planning birthday parties and other misc. celebrations that are not pictured.

1st Event: My wedding and reception in Estes Park, Colorado at the Black Canyon Inn. During the most beautiful time of year in October 2022, we hosted 85 adults and children. The vision and decor that I wanted was simple – romantic, elegant and natural. I used a lot of candle light, both real and battery, florals, and simple black and white with a touch of champagne sequin. I designed the name tags, floor charts, etc. that were used at the wedding and rehearsal dinner (not pictured). There were so many details from the favors to our cake cutting board that made our wedding feel so special. When looking for our vendors, I had to search very hard in order to stay within our budget to find a florist, DJ, bakery, photographer, videographer, Officiant, Makeup & Hair Professionals and the lighting/drapery vendor that didn’t charge excess fees to travel up the mountain. Our wedding day was PERFECT and all of our vendors were incredible. Somehow there were no issues – the best day of our lives!

2nd Event: In addition to our Estes Park Wedding, we held a second reception at the Vintage Ballroom in Downtown Omaha that hosted 200+ people. We were able to bring in our own food and drinks which was a top “want” when we looked at venues. All the decor and setup including florals were done by me. Additionally, we made this reception a “Costume Party” so I included quite a bit of Halloween Decor. Everyone had a blast and came in costumes – definitely something I was a bit “wary” of, but so happy we decided to include it on the invites per my husbands “only request.”

The third event was a “Great Gatsby” themed corporate holiday party held at Lucille’s in the Old Market. There were approx. 80 adults (Employees + 1) that I had to plan within a certain budget and timeframe. This was the first big event I had planned (2017). When I started the process I wrote down the “top” things that were a MUST in order for employees to really feel like this was a party for them. 1. Open Bar 2. Food – enough food to feel FULL. 3. Entertainment – something more than just hanging out and having drinks. We were able to do a “Surprise” Murder Mystery Dinner which was an absolute hit – the actors came and mingled with everyone without anyone knowing who they were. I had setup a photo booth, created a specialty cocktail menu and even selected appetizers to go with the theme. I created all the center pieces, backdrops, etc. myself and was in charge of setup and cleanup.
