The last wedding we did was different than all the rest. It was literally for family (a 1st cousin) and we couldn’t have been more honored to be asked to coordinate it.

Not only that, the wedding was featured in Kentucky Bridal Magazine! ❤️❤️❤️

It was such a beautiful day full of so many sweet details and special moments. Everything was fabulous! And the ice cream truck? A HIT! 🍦

Flights aren’t limited to airplanes and helicopters. They’re for mimosas too!

Check out views from our first flight of 2022✔️ We didn’t even need a passport!

Each of these flavor combinations were specially crafted and oh so delicious! They’re alcohol-free aka mocktails, so they can be enjoyed by all of your event guests whether they drink alcohol or not.

Serving mocktails like these is a great way to lower bar costs without having to compromise taste, fun, or visual appeal.

To turn these mocktails into cocktails, all you have to do is replace the sparkling grape juice with your favorite champagne or sparkling wine.

Share this with the mimosa lovers in your life and follow for more mocktail recipe goodness!

Temperatures have cooled down in NC over the past couple of days, but let's not get crazy - it's still summertime!

If you're like us and looking to shake up your late summer meals and drinks, we've created three AMAZING menus (with pictures) to help you out. *Mocktails from our sister brand, The Moxx Box, are definitely on there.*

One is a backyard BBQ menu, one is an "appetizers-only" menu, and one is a brunch menu.

Issa Rae said “Issa Wife!”

Congratulations to her and her new husband on tying the knot in such an elegant, stunning fashion!

She wore not one, but two gowns for the occasion, and we LOVE the color of her hubs’ tux. ❤️🖤

Just beautiful.

Need an easy way to facilitate event engagement❓

✨Give your guests a fun ice breaker activity!✨ (Emphasis on the word FUN)

At my client Jos’ 41st birthday party, I gave each guest a prompt to share related to her as the guest of honor. Not only did this spark conversation, it also triggered LOTS of belly laughs, hugs, joyful tears, and walks down memory lane.

Some of the prompts were:

👉🏾Favorite memory
👉🏾Funniest moment
👉🏾How you met
👉🏾A song that reminds you of her & why

You can implement this simple strategy at many event types from weddings to showers to conferences and corporate settings.

AND, if executed properly, this will work well in virtual event settings also.

Send me a DM if you need fun engagement prompts for your next event.

No party is complete without good eats and cake! And just because you’re having a picnic doesn’t mean you can’t call in a private chef.

Last night’s menu was simple yet savory, filling, and indulgent. Guests dined on an exotic fruit tray that included dragon fruit for a little razzle dazzle, individually packaged grazing boxes, shrimp and grits, and vanilla buttercream cake with strawberry layers.

Special occasions this is perfect for:
Your birthday.
Your graduation.
Your promotion.
Your business deal.
Your bridal shower.
Your baby shower.
A Tuesday night.

For all the reasons, do it. You deserve it.

There are, undoubtedly, preconceived notions about harpists and the type of music that “fits” the elegance and beauty of the harp.

Let the re-cord show (*in my Phylicia Rashad voice*) that the unconventional can exemplify elegance and beauty too.

Everything about this clip is a vibe! The artist, the song, her look, the plants 🌱😍

You’re dope, ! 🖤🖤🖤
