Jenna

owner | Lead Planner + Designer

The foundation of my events is the passion into my work as a dedicated destination event planner, designing and executing celebrations that are as thoughtful as they are unforgettable. Whether it’s an intimate wedding along the Outer Banks or a large-scale corporate event abroad, I bring a creative eye, a calm presence, and over a decade of hands-on experience to every event I touch.

Curating connection, creativity, and unforgettable events from coast to coast.

The Story

My love for design began long before I ever stepped into the world of events. It started in childhood, when my favorite toys weren’t dolls or games, but pens, markers, glue sticks, and endless stacks of paper. I spent hours creating, organizing, and dreaming up beautiful things from scratch. That early spark of creativity grew into a lifelong passion for crafting experiences that leave lasting impressions.

 

Today, as a seasoned event planner with over 20 years of experience, that same sense of wonder fuels everything I do. Whether I'm designing a breathtaking wedding on the Outer Banks or orchestrating a high-level corporate event in California, I thrive on the blend of creativity and precision that each celebration demands. From initial inspiration to the final toast, I approach every event with thoughtful intention and a deep respect for the process.

My role is more than just coordinating timelines and layouts, it's about understanding your story, interpreting your vision, and translating that into an unforgettable experience. I believe the planning journey should feel just as exciting and joyful as the event itself. That’s why I’m here: to guide you every step of the way, minimize stress, anticipate needs, and bring your ideas to life with style, substance, and heart.

 

Living and working on North Carolina's stunning Outer Banks, I have the privilege of curating events in one of the most naturally beautiful destinations in the world. And whether you’re celebrating a wedding, milestone, or meaningful moment, I consider it an honor to be trusted with such important memories.

 

Let’s create something extraordinary together!

Spread Joy, Everyday

I was born and raised in Southern California, but in the last 10 years I have lived in four different states. With the most recent move to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Moving has allowed me to become incredibly flexible in life and opened my eyes to finding joy in new experiences.

 

When I am not planning or designing events, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. Often, we can be found at the beach, hiking, or exploring the city where we live.

Sunflower Smiles

The sunflower meaning varies based on cultural and religious roots, but what I have taken away from all the various meaning is to follow the sun, find joy and be faithful. Sunflowers have the ability to extend beyond their original place they are planted, and the seeds can be reused over and over again extending their longevity for years to come. They are also a sign of good fortune, and happiness.

 

Since I was a little girl, sunflowers have always been my favorite flower. Every time I see them, they fill my heart with the biggest smile. I feel like there’s a sunflower in me, motivating me to continue to push myself and grow like a sunflower, and bringing joy to the people that touch my life. When a sunflower perishes and all that’s left are the seeds; I harvest those seeds and plant them again to repeat the cycle all over again. That is truly my mission. I hope that through my events, and the relationships I build I leave a little ‘sunflower smile’ wherever I go.
