Bought this contage ornament tree earlier this afternoon for tonightâs party, and itâs holding court almost as a shrine to remember SEVENTEEN EVENTS IN ONE SEASON.
Thatâs an all-time record for us in 12 years. It was a lot, but itâs all done.
Tonight, we get to celebrate us.
Shout out to our whole crew this season: Lorraine, Nicky, Monique, Monelle, Claire, Cala, Tow, Michelle, and Joâthe badassery of you all was, and is, a sight to behold. đđ˝

Levitating.
This second-to-the-last-wedding of 2021 had us beyond. Leigh and Beth are the real deal. We are absolutely floating from the high frequency of their love! Intentional, spiritual, and emotional, we were gobsmacked at the level of care and detail they both took to express their lives and loved. Stay tuned yâall. The details are killer!

As a Filipina and Asian American business owner, I am absolutely saddened by the recent spate of hate crimes and violence against my sisters and brothers.
Despite our successes and contributions to history and society, we now have targets on our backs. And itâs getting worse.
This is happening regardless of everything we are told early onâto blend in and let our character, and not our color, precede us.
So we work hard. Prove ourself. Work harder. Be better. Even the best. And because of these things and achievements, perhaps no one will see your brown skin because girl, you are blending in. Or so you think.
We need your allyship. Your rage. Your dollars to fight. Your petitions.
As the actor Daniel Dae Kim said recently: âHumanity still matters.â
Who will stand with us?
Hopeful and wonderful graphic by @asiadrawsâthank you! #stopaapihate

Iâm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,  Â
Thatâs me.
- Maya Angelou
This is our dream team! And in honor of International Womenâs Month, weâre going to be introducing you to each of them: Onika, our admin assistant and assistant coordinators, and our lead coordinators Monelle and Claire.
Weâre able to deliver ease, joy, and seamless event days for our clients because these women are phenomenal on so many levels.
They show up in so many ways, and we are so lucky to have them on our team!

These fun, handmade pins arrived just in time for Valentineâs Day!
Our team will be wearing them on our lapels this season, reminding us all that love can conquer a pandemic!
Is also a reminder to you all to support small, BIPOC businesses like ours and the maker of these pins, @shopneutralground.
As a 100% minority-owned business and helmed by me, an Asian American, Pinay woman, all business that comes our way supports my family and my passion to help others on one of the most important days of their lives.
To see the recent violence against Asian Americans means that not everyone welcomes us, and that prejudice and hate roam freely, even in the liberal-minded Bay Area where we are headquartered.
I donât pretend to have the answers but what I do know is that kindness can prevail, and that you can do your part to call out racism and micro aggressions against us in your workplaces, in schools, and social circles. Take a minute to understand. Take a minute to speak up.

Excited to have just booked M + I for their October wedding in Mill Valley.
Fun fact: our founder Genevieve grew up in neighboring Tiburon, and was a frequent visitor to Mill Valley, spending time in the original Banana Republic store back when it sold safari-themed clothes (uh huh, yes they did!), doing microfiche research (Google it) at the public library, and picking out stickers at Two Neat.
Mill Valley is MUCH changed from the 90s, but unchanged are all the old growth redwoods that envelope this gem of a town. So itâs always a treat when the personal and professional melt together.
This is going to be a special one, to be sure. Give us all the forested celebrations and youâve found us in our happy place!

We are thrilled to coordinate V + Aâs wedding this spring at @ravenswoodmansion! Crossing đ¤đ˝and manifesting all the positive vibes â¨

We are absolutely THRILLED on many levels to have booked two wedding this week! Starting with this San Francisco culinary favorite in the heart of the South of Market neighborhood.
We love great food and so many of our clients. @25lusk will serve as our reception and we cannot wait to be sitting fireside soon. Those moody, #scandi, industrial vibes!
The weather is definitely turning in the Bay Area and itâs all about huge.
Tell us... what are your favorite fireplace hangouts? We love the fireplaces at these amazing venues @sfswedenborgian, and the @presidiosf gems Log Cabin and Golden Gate Club.
Your turn!

Congratulations to our lovely couple, Joyce + Henry. They have the very distinct honor of being our first wedding of 2020!
After months of rescheduled weddings, it felt great to be back schlepping all the things, ticking "done" on to-do list items in the run-up, and going vendor to vendor asking if they had what they needed. Even though the wedding was 8 guests (due to San Francisco's highly restrictive social gatherings mandates), their wedding was both simple, and yet, challenging.
Though micro, this wedding was.. still a wedding. Did we go through our checklist of things in the weeks and days prior? Did we have extra meetings to ensure the nature of a Zoom wedding would go off without a hitch (sorry, we had to)? Did we have to pack umbrellas to shield the violinist and cellist from some unseasonal fog? Yep yep yep.
But there was utter beauty in its simplicity. A bridal walk to "Moon River." An Instax guest book right next to hand sanitizer and wet wipes. Toasts from virtual guests through a Bluetooth speaker. And a cake set up just for a photo opp (but not to eat--no food consumption allowed onsite!).
Stripped of all that comes with weddings--favors, programs, es**rt cards, table numbers, sit-down dinners, wild dancing, dessert bars--the essence of this intimate day, was about two people who love each other very, very much.
In the great surround of redwoods, we were so very moved to be a part of their day, in the most bizarre and yet wondrous of times.

â¨Thank you to all who attended our Smuin Ballet 2022 Gala last night! After 3 years, we were finally able to host this event at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria Events again! We are so grateful for the support and love that we felt from our gracious friends & donors â thank you for being a part of our family! #smuinballet
Special thanks to McCalls Catering & Events, Lily Spruce: Events + Event Planning for Rule Breakers, San Francisco Design Center Galleria Events, and Drew Altizer Photography for helping to make this night unforgettable! As well as our after party caterers Media Noche & Rocko's Ice Cream Tacos!
Weâre excited to have Anthem Salgado of Art Of Hustle: Where Art Meets Entrepreneurship leading a Sunday Workshop at Entrepinays Summit! Anthem is our one EntrePINOY speaker that will be teaching at Summit, mainly because his business planning workshop is SO amazing that we wanted to share it with more people! Anthem has also helped coach many #Entrepinays through Art of Hustle like Lily Spruce: Wedding and Event Planning & Papalodown Agency
As a small business coach and communications specialist with @artofhustle, Anthem provides valuable guidance through 1:1 coaching as well as workshop facilitation to end the cycle of burnout and redundancy so common in solopreneurship, arts, and small business to create a new culture of success.
On Sunday 10/5, Anthem will be leading âThe Road Map: From Practicing to Established and Beyondâ where attendees will walk away with a better understanding of how to build their personal brand and expand their network, generate new revenue, and help maximize audience development.
Individual Sunday Summit passes are available for those who are unable to attend the whole weekend! Buy your tickets at entrepinays.com/summit2019.
