Nice to meet you!
Krista Burroughs ~ Owner & Lead Planner
​
Hello! I'm so happy you're here!
​
My passion for Event Planning blossomed nearly 25 years ago and started with planning special events for my family and friends. In 2010, I decided it was time to really jump in head first to turn my passion into a business and I've never looked back!
​
With the unwavering support of some really amazing friends and mentors, I've been able to accomplish so many incredible business milestones and now have an expansive resume of event planning experience that includes: Non-Profit Fundraisers, Extravagant Personal Celebrations and over nearly 200 Weddings!
​

Wine and Whiskey are always well-stocked in my home bar
