Sarah Igartua
Owner, Lead Event Coordinator, Designer, Social Media, Public Relations
All my life I knew I was meant to plan. From the time I was a little girl with my American Girl magazine subscription going thru and saving all the party ideas so that I could have the ultimate themed parties- to naturally falling into corporate event planning as a young adult. I have always loved the details, the planning, the preparation, and the execution and satisfaction in a well-planned event.
When I went thru planning my own wedding I had everything figured out.... or so I thought. There are so many details that go into a large event that the little errands, running around the day of, and items to drop off or set up may seem like small tasks but when summed up and given to a family member it can be very tedious and cause them not to get to fully enjoy your day too! I saw the stress on my mom's face when arriving late to my wedding reception because she had stayed behind to finish tearing down from my elaborate ceremony decor set up. So - in photos ...yes everything was the picture-perfect dream day. But behind the scenes, it took a lot of help from family and friends and not all of them got to enjoy the day as much because they were helping work it.
I started this company to ensure all clients get to enjoy their special days- and their entourage- family, friends, etc. get to enjoy it with them! Over the years I've learned to understand different types of clients, recognize their needs, their stressors, and how to pull off their event vision! Some need more visuals, some need more check-ins, and some need to simply know it is under control- so we do just that! I can proudly say after 16 years since we started we are still creating smiles, still throwing glitter, and still making memories to last a lifetime!
