This was a bittersweet Snapchat memory that popped up - but I took it as a sign to make a little announcement.
I started Golden Pineapple Events in July 2019 officially … then Covid hit and as you can imagine the first few years were not as “fruitful” (see what I did there 🍍) as I imagined. I stayed on course, and I had the opportunity to be a part of many people’s celebrations though …
To be exact
- 27 weddings
- 5 birthday parties
- 2 retirement parties
- 3 baby showers
- 1 Nashville Bachelorette
- 2 Bridal Showers
I brought in a total of 5 amazing individuals who supported as staff at some point. I had the honor of supporting both friends and strangers and I loved every second of it.
Meanwhile I also started a career in HR, I had another baby, my middle child started school and sports, and my oldest is in high school. With these weekend events, long typically 12+ hour days - I tend to miss out on things with my kids and family. I’ve come to realize, at this point of my life - that this is not the time for a side business. My true passion are these years with my kids and family. I can always come back to event coordination, I have my whole life - but their childhood will be over in a blink of an eye.
Thank you to all the amazing people who trusted me with their events. Thank you to the amazing people who helped staff and support these events. Thank you to friends and family for your support and a huge thank you to my amazing husband and my kids who supported my little dream 🩷
Until next time …. 🍍🍍
