About Us
​
June 23, 2016 the vision and concept became very clear to me of the next phase in my life. I am a people person and love the adrenaline rush that comes with event planning and management. The joy of seeing the smile on the face of my client after a stressfree and successful event is priceless.
I have over 8 years in event planning and management. I have coordinated everything from non-profit fundraising events, social events, and even my very own wedding. Crazy as it seems I took on the task of wedding planner for my special day, June 27, 2015. I knew what I wanted and how I wanted it done. So when I accepted my epiphany June 2016 to launch Vintage Pearl Event Planning it all made sense. My experience over the years has prepared me for this very moment. By day I am a Project Manager/Event Planner so details, logistics, timelines, budgets all come natural to me. I have an Associates and Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a focus on Contract Management and Negotiation. I also have a Masters degree in Human Resources Management. My educational background is a perfect fit for all the tasks that come along with planning a stellar event!

​
Why the name Vintage Pearl Event Planning? I am obsessed with Pearls. They are elegant, classy and sophisticated... everything that I wanted in a company and the deliverables to our clients.
