SIMPLY GOLDEN

Meet The "Golden Girls"

(and Antario!)

Event planning isn’t just a job. It’s an art. It’s a lifestyle. And it’s something we were born to do.

Our journey to becoming event planners started with a shared love for bringing people together. We realized that we had a talent for turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories, and we knew we had to turn that talent into a career. Our personal connection to the work we do is what sets us apart. It's why we wake up excited to go to work every day, and it's what drives us to go above and beyond for every single event.

What's your favorite thing about events?

The amount of pure joy I get from planning an event and seeing it come to life is out of this world. It doesn't matter what type of event it is, the moment we can step back and say hey, we did it is always a great feeling. With weddings, it truly is an honor to be trusted with one of the most important days of someone's life—like that's a HUGE deal. And the smiles on their faces at the end of the night, make the countless emails, questions and hours spent planning all worth it!

Why did you want to get into event planning?

When I was growing up, both of my parents loved entertaining. My dad has always hosted big parties with full antipasto spreads, and my mom was a Martha Stewart-type who could whip up elaborate snacks (she always brought quiche to my classroom parties) and DIY basically any sort of decor. I guess I wound up inheriting their hosting gene, and now I love helping people bring their vision for the perfect event to life.
