Curated Celebrations for life’s cornerstones

Discover what we can plan together.
My greatest skill is execution.
I believe a well organized spreadsheet is a form of care. By handling the permits, the timelines, and the logistics, I create the space for you to actually be present on your day.

The Intimate Elopement
The curated “runaway” experience for couples skipping the noise to focus entirely on the vow. I turn simple into significant through meticulous planning and design.
- The Logistics: Secret spot scouting, permit management, and a seamless itinerary.
- The Curation: Vibe-aligned vendor matchmaking (photography, florals, officiants).
- The Presence: On-site coordination—I hold the clipboard so you can stay in the moment.
Best for: Couples seeking a bold, stress-free departure from tradition.

Monumental Milestones
With deep experience managing high-capacity events, I balance the “big picture” with the “tiny detail” to seamlessly execute your complex vision.
- The Logistics: Timeline creation, vendor liaison, and floor plan management.
- The Curation: Translating your history into an authentic, custom visual theme.
- The Presence: Full “Day-Of” management so your only responsibility is celebrating.
Best for: Hosts who need a dependable, professional lead to bring a large-scale vision to life.

Creative & Sacred Spaces
Not every monumental moment is a party—some are for legacy or tribute. I bring a sacred gravity and professional discipline to events that require extra care and deep sensitivity.
- The Logistics: Guest flow management, program coordination, and volunteer or staff direction.
- The Curation: Designing a thoughtful environment that honors the art, individual, or cause beautifully.
- The Presence: A calm, steady anchor to navigate the emotional weight of the day with absolute grace.
Best for: Organizations, artists, and families seeking a steady professional lead during high-stakes or sensitive moments.
I bring flexibility and provide what you need.
Whether you need full event planning services, or just month-of & day-of coordination – I’m here for you.

Testimonials

I would highly recommend Andrea as a wedding planner. She was able to help us organize our elopement in Mexico, helped us create a schedule for the day of the wedding, and worked seamlessly with the venue, florist, and other vendors to help us have the wedding of our dreams. Andrea is kind, professional, direct and creative, a perfect combination for an event and wedding planner!

Having Andrea oversee my son’s celebration of life was the best decision I could have made in such a time of grief. She dealt with all aspects of his service leaving me the time to grieve. She listened to what I wanted and delivered beautifully. It was comforting knowing my beautiful son’s final party was exactly the way he would have wanted it. Rest in peace son.

I couldn’t have planned my Los Angeles elopement without Andrea! She saw our vision, was super patient, and not afraid to weigh in and offer a better idea.
With Andrea’s support and artistic eye, we were able to plan the ceremony of our dreams! It was in a perfect location, where we were very comfortable, and the day was absolutely seamless.
When planning our Los Angeles elopement, Andrea was the boots-on-the-ground support we needed. She helped with vetting vendors such as our photographers, flowers, hair and makeup artists, and even helped scout locations. There’s no way that we could have planned it all from the Midwest without her knowledge and artistic eye. Not to mention, she was honest! If I was pitching a timeline to her that wasn’t sensible, she’d remind me to add in extra time for traffic or rideshare wait times. It really was a gift to have her to help shape our wedding day.
