LATOYA SHANELL, CMP - OWNER / EVENT PRODUCER

Our approach to event planning is very fresh, creative, fun, professional and most importantly, highly representative of each client. This approach creates a unique, worry-free, and memorable event experience that aligns with each client’s vision, budget, personality, and style. 

We believe an event is an opportunity to capture who you are; therefore, we truly get to know all clients, identify personal traits and overall style, and then we collaborate with the most talented vendors in the area to translate these characteristics into elements such as décor, food and music. The end result is, much like the occasion itself, a once in a lifetime experience.

We personalize, plan and produce exceptional events that will WOW your guests. We strive to ensure that all clients feel like a guest at their own event. We also empower individuals and organizations to plan their own event by guiding them through the event planning process via consultations and planning tools.
