Ten years ago, started with a simple belief:

Events should build community.

To remind us that we’re not alone.
That we have more in common than we think.
That together we’re stronger and braver.

On March 3rd, I'm honored to celebrate a decade of creativity, resilience, and relationship-building with ✨LOVE THY CITY✨ — part anniversary party, part curated industry showcase, part love letter to San Francisco.

📣This isn’t a mass networking event.

It’s an intentionally curated room of:

➡️ Event industry professionals
➡️ Corporate event planners
➡️ Brand decision-makers
➡️ Founders, CEOs, and community leaders
➡️ Creatives shaping the future of the Bay Area arts community

If that’s you — request your invite below. Let’s party :)

📣It's our BIRTHDAY/ANNIVERSARY! 🥳🫶🏼✨

10 years ago today, I launched with my family and friends right by my side supporting me. Starting the company was the gift I gave to myself for my 30th Birthday.

A present of a life worth claiming. One that I could truly be proud of. 

One where I could create more magical, meaningful moments. To remind people of the beauty and interconnected of life.

To remember that we are never alone.

Today I turn 40 years old 🥳🎈and turns 10 years old!! 🤯🙏🏻

The company is no longer just me. We have SO many beautiful team members who have helped us become who we are today as a company.

What a blessing it is to be alive and doing this work.

Scroll thru to see our anniversary parties through the years! Aannddd.....

🗓️SAVE THE DATE: February 17, 2026 for us to honor 10 years of this beautiful community with a BIG ASS community party!!!

Some days we’re reminded that the work we do is only as meaningful as the people we do it with 💖

Our team brings so much heart, care, and creativity to every project. Whether it’s problem-solving on the fly, dreaming up big ideas, or just showing up for each other, they make every event and every moment feel possible.

We’re endlessly grateful for this crew and the ways they show up, not just for our clients and community, but for each other.

’Tis the season of gatherings ✨

Looking back on last year’s Opening Dinner with , we’re reminded of the simple but powerful act of dedicating time to the people around us.

Gatherings are more than just food and wine 🍷🍽️. They’re moments to connect, celebrate, and show up for our communities and loved ones. They’re a reminder to slow down, share stories, and honor the people who make life richer 💖

As we head into another season of celebrations, we’re holding onto that intention: create space, nurture connection, and surround yourself with those who matter most.
