Hi there! I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself for those of you who are new here — welcome! 🤗
I’m Kelsey Belden, It’s been nearly two years since my dream of Oak + Hood became a reality!
For those of you that are new to follow, this has been quite the journey. After selling my part in a successful HVAC company, I was gifted the opportunity to set off on a new adventure. From the moment I stepped foot onto this property, and walked through the large barn doors looking directly out at Mount Hood, well, it took my breath away. I knew this was a special place, and my vision took off!
Working alongside my daughter Kendyl has been quite a gift. If you reach out, you will likely hear from one of us. Mother + Daughter duos are one of my favorite things, and it has been amazing to share this with her!
A few things about me.. I love people! That is the core of what motivates me everyday, bringing joy to those around me. I also Love, Love! Seeing couples commit and celebrate with their families is priceless. What a gift of a job I get to have in this Season!
Between gigs, I enjoy time with my friends + family, walking my dog Nashville, a rescue from Texas who is always by my side. He loves to run, and boy does he ever across the nearly 40 acre O + H property!
Oregon is so beautiful! I love to adventure to Hood River or the coast for hikes, or just wander to find great local restaurants or small businesses to support. Traveling to beaches and warmer climates is often on the top of my “to-do” list, and I have learned to not feel guilty about taking time out to rest.
I’m also a big fan of all kinds of music, especially live music!!
If you have worked with me, or held your event here at Oak + Hood - please share about your experience in a comment below!!
If we haven’t met yet, I really look forward to it. Reach out anytime, I’d love to not only help bring your dreams to life — but have SO much fun doing it together!
