Our Team
Meet Shawna
Owner & Founder
The art of hospitality has always held a special place in my heart. A graduate of MSU at The School of Hospitality, I thank my midwest roots for grounding me into where and who I am today.
From the deserts of California to the mountains of Aspen, CO and now to the shores of Cape May, NJ where I share my home with my fiancé, his three goofball kiddos and my old girl companion, Bernadette (the dog).
My tenure expands within the roles of Banquets, Food & Beverage, Operations and Production with a passion for curating experiences that are unique and customized.
So what makes me different? I have collaborated with some of the most impressive creative geniuses in the industry and traveled the world to immerse myself in the art of hospitality. We craft yourstory into each aspect of the guest experience. I thrive facing a good challenge and cherish all the little moments that make up the chapters in our journey. So I invite you to be a part of this adventure - it's going to be epic.

Meet Kelly
With a background in food and beverage operations, a passion for design, and a natural ability to stay calm under pressure, I create stress-free experiences for couples on their big day. Whether managing timelines or adapting to last-minute changes, I take pride in bringing order to the chaos so every event unfolds effortlessly. From coordinating logistics to supporting clients, I thrive as the behind-the-scenes problem-solver who keeps everything running seamlessly.
After living in Hawaii, Southern California, and the Sierra Nevada Mountains, I’ve made my way back to New Jersey to settle down and raise my four kids at the Jersey Shore. When I’m not ensuring smooth event execution, I’m dreaming up new design ideas and making unforgettable memories with my children.

Meet Allie
What excites me most about events is seeing a vision come to life and watching people experience moments they’ll remember for years to come. I believe that even the smallest details can have a meaningful impact, and I’m dedicated to turning each celebration into something truly unforgettable.
With a passion for hospitality and an eye for thoughtful design, I love creating memorable, intentional experiences. From the early planning stages to the final moments of a celebration, I focus on every detail so my clients can fully enjoy their day. Whether managing timelines, coordinating vendors, or bringing a creative vision to life, I take pride in making the entire process feel organized, calm, and exciting.
Outside of events, I spent five years living in Philadelphia after graduating from the University of Delaware and recently relocated to New York City. I enjoy exploring new restaurants, traveling, and spending summers down the shore with family and friends.

Meet Denise
After traveling the globe as a Director of Training & Development, I managed many special events and private parties for retail companies big and small. A New York and New Jersey native, I share my Wildwood Crest home with my husband Dave, and our three active boys.
Having planned my own wedding in December 2022, I love assisting our brides and grooms planning their own special day. Seeing everyone happy, excited, and having a great time brings me great joy and fuels my enthusiasm for designing and planning events.
