Happy Birthday Carli! 🥳

Please join us in wishing Carli Ricciardi Dixon a very happy birthday. She is the visionary that saw an event venue in an old abandoned warehouse full of junk and with a lot of hard work turned that into The Brightside Music & Event Venue with her husband Hamilton. She also runs another business, Bloombeads by freezeframe which turns fresh flowers from your life events into amazing jewelry. Oh and she's a mom to two creative and curious young adults.
