Hospitality has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in my dad's restaurant here in San Diego, I learned that the little things—a warm welcome, thoughtful details, and making people feel genuinely cared for—are what leave the biggest impression. That's the heart of how I approach weddings today. My style is calm, organized, and intentional, with the belief that less is often more. Every detail is thoughtfully considered so couples can be fully present, soaking in every moment with the people they love.
Over more than 20 years in hospitality and events—from restaurants and celebrity chef experiences to corporate events, nonprofit fundraisers, and weddings—I've learned that the best celebrations are the ones that feel effortless. Behind every seamless event is thoughtful preparation, and I love taking care of those details so couples don't have to.
As much as I love a beautiful wedding day, my favorite part is everything that comes after. Watching couples settle into their first home, grow their families, and build a life together is the greatest reminder that a wedding is just the beginning. Being even a small part of that story is something I'll never take for granted.

My faith is at the heart of who I am and is the foundation for how I love and serve others.

If I weren't planning weddings, you'd probably find me writing about food. I love how a great meal can tell the story of a place, a culture, and the people who gather around it.
