Jake & Alexia- October 28, 2006

Built this wedding from the ground up! From colors to set-up, shopping for all

needed supplies, lighting and food for the party of 50. It was a beautiful sunny day, the weather held out for us just before the start of the winter chill and rain. 

 

 Dave & Shelbie- October 13, 2007

I had lots to do on this one held in the family backyard. I had to help with everything from the groom and I putting up two 20x20 tents, to standing atop a 10 foot ladder to hang the chandeliers! We had a custom built dance floor that now serves as an out door seating area for mom and dad. I also participated as a bridesmaid..adding a little stress to set up time :) Was a successful day for a guest list of 150.

 

Michelle Snyder 30th Birthday

We built Michelle's party around the Snyder's beautiful yard; complete with floating candles in the pool, hanging lanterns in the trees, and colorful draped material with a disco ball in the tent! Also in the mix was Mr.Terry Vickey, the Magician Extraordinary. I has seen him perform table shows many times and still am amazed every time! Book him for added fun and entertainment for your guests! Ask me how!

 

 

 

Steve & Danielle- July 12, 2008

By far my most crafty wedding, lots of little projects done to enhance the grounds! Treat jars were decorated, "globes" were hung with ribbons to light the trees, all of the bouquet made the night before my myself and the girls, also the arbor decor, even the arbor itself was built by my husband! Custom drapery was hung in the inner room and out side, & lighting strung everywhere.  A missing cake emergency was fixed, the bartender poured her custom drinks, and the DJ rocked the evening. Attendance was at 70. 

 

 

 

 

Jesse & Crystal- July 19, 2008

Port Orchard, WA

All the planning was done from my home in Medford, and the wedding was held 9 hours away!  Held at a beautiful B&B overlooking the bay and the mountain range beyond..was one of the prettiest areas I have seen to dress up. Covered with candles, the staircase lead up to the head table as the guests were spread across the lawn to soak in the scene. Party of 125.

 

 

 

Guest list of 150, this was my favorite wedding. The colors of aqua, teals and chocolate made splashes of color everywhere. LED lighting in the centerpieces, floating flowers and lighting in the pool, lots of up-lighting... By far the most glittering event yet. Even the cake joined in the fun by becoming a birthday cake after the first cut for the niece of the bride! We had a custom welcome sign and guest book which doubled as a family album. 

 

Mike & Britney- September 6, 2008

Set up in the west hills overlooking Medford, Events on the Peak  is a privately owned venue complete with a cottage and yards designed especially for intimate functions. Colors of fuchsia and black made a bold and beautiful statement. Towering flowers stands on the table, and custom menu design done by the groom gave this modern couple an edgy yet elegant feel.  Guest attendance was at 100.

 

Doug V. 40th Birthday- December 28, 2008

Rouge Regency, Medford

This was one party that stands out from them all! Pink Floyd was the theme, and no Pink Lloyd event is complete without a giant pink pig!! The centerpiece of the room, complete with psychedelic lighting and "manly" yet fun and unusual centerpieces, the party for 50 was a blast! An ice sculpture was designed by myself, and came with two shot delivering tunnels, lit with LED lighting, and a wine rack in the back...banners were made with Album cover images, the cakes were album covers as well..delivered from Australia! We also had a projected viewing of "The Wall", and later the lifetime videos of the birthday boy. Great party!

Sheryl & Terry- June 14th, 2009

This wonderful couple found me at the Red Lion Bridal Show and decided to give me a call. With just a few months to plan, the theme of Tropical Elegance came to life at the River house in Shady Cove, OR. I was side-by-side with the bride from every aspect. Coming up with the colorful yet elegant design, from ribbon-covered centerpieces, playful fish giving fun visual interest to every orchid filled vase, and the karaoke sing-off in the twinkling lights at the end of the evening, this couple had an entertaining and beautiful day from start to finish. My duties included all set-up and design aspects, cleanup, running of rehearsal and wedding day, hiring of all vendors from DJ to bartender. The team was excellent and one of the best i have ever worked with before. Special thanks to Linea, for all her hard work on wedding day!

My duties included everything from design and setup, flower design of the arbor and staircase, running of the rehearsal, wedding day including ceremony, vendors and clean up after, as well as many other duties throughout the event.

 

Apple & Kenny-August 8, 2009 Whispering Pines, Sams Valley, OR

This was another exciting party for me. As personal friends of mine, we had allot of fun with the design of this modern and crafty wedding. From the bouquets made from felt and the tutus for the flower girls, this was a hands on event. The manzanita bushes plucked from the Illinois Valley by yours truly, were covered with the black white and red colors with a 40's pinup flair, this wedding was truly unique and personal. LED lanterns and twinkling lights lit up the dance floor, hand blown glass toasting glasses made by a friend... everything in this wedding was truly special. My duties were involving in everything from the help with centerpieces, rehearsal, setup and tear down. From start to finish, this was the most creative wedding I have ever worked on.

Carrie & Toni September 20th, 2009

Indian Mary Campgrounds

This fun event was put on over the course of three days. We set up the upper site on day one, stringing an entire loop of sites with lights, lanterns, and red up lights. The ceremony was held on the far end of the events lawn, looking over the river, and held between two trees strung with strands of roses, crystals and white fabric. The reception was held on the other end of the lawn under the trees, catered by my favorite Chef Dave of Cuisine De Jour'. The food fantastic, the crowd was amazing and the party was still going two days later. An awesome opportunity to work with these people. 

Revolutions Salon -Celebrity Cocktail Party 

September 26, 2009

This party was held in honor of Juan Juan, stylist to the stars. His pretense was to celebrate the conceptualization of the salon, whom will be only carrying his product line. He came to help the salon present themselves to the community as a "Taste of Beverly Hills" in the Rogue Valley. My duties were highly involved, starting with the organization of a fashion shoot,  including rounding up models for the shoot, hiring all vendors, photography for both the fashion shoot and evening of event. The fashion shoot came from the idea to have a photo montouqe to represent the salon to Juan. I organized clothing from a high-end fashion store, Urban Minx, and hair and makeup were done by the salon stylists. Flowing this the actual evening of the party, I did all decor and organization of entertainment. This included a magician with personal table service, a chocolatier passed treats, passed hourderves done yet again by our models as well as wine service by the owner of Troon Vineyards. A sexy and fun party was well enjoyed by our guest of honor and all guests. In addition to the celebration, profits of wine sales were in support of the Breast Cancer Association. 

Beth and Rich- September 27, 2009

Neuwnan House, Jacksonville, OR

This was an elegant and classic wedding. The setting at one of the oldest and beautifully preserved estates in Jacksonville history was perfect on one of the last warm evenings of the summer. The couple, married in Fiji, returned to celebrate with close friends and family in this beautiful scene. My duties were primarily decor, setup and tear down, giving her the personal torched that made it her own. From her 40's inspired gown, the glow of the lighting over the lawn and the crystals dripping from the uplift trees, this was a picture straight out of the past. the service and food was impeccable, and dancing was the highlight of the evening.

This was the cutest couple I have had the pleasure of working with. Held at their home and catered by my husband himself. This was an elegant "Starry Nights" theme.

Floating candles and LEDS in vases with popping yellow Gerber daisies, and bright teal napkins, we had our hands full and yet my new assistant Liberty jumped in and helped immensely! Our first catering included a full menu of Thai chicken skewers for horderves', Thin-sliced tri-tip and cheesy scalloped potatoes, spring fresh salad, as well as a full mini dessert & wine bar.
