My life has taught me that special events stand out in our memories and mark the milestones in our lives. What become the enduring snapshots in our minds are the unions of two hearts; social gatherings that celebrate our diversity, art, food and humanity; evening balls that benefit our culture; grand openings for our businesses and more- the smiles and laughter of our marriages, parties, beginnings, transitions, and even endings. In commemorating these events , we capture our loves and our lives.

When we gather, and as long as we're all here, I say Laissez les bon temps roulez: Let the good times roll! This has a particular meaning for me. It is not just about letting the music play and the party go on. It also means letting the good life happen. This is my passion. This is something I learned growing up in New Orleans where festival and food, friends, family and life moving forward, were present every day. This is my life's creed, That’s why I’m now here on the Monterey Peninsula—planning, designing, and performing the weddings and events that create our lives.
