Wedding Coordination
I have worked in the wedding industry for over 6 years as a wedding planner’s assistant and administrative assistant. My love for large events began in the wedding world. Helping lead coordinators master a couple’s perfect day through attentive decor setup, guest management, and design assistance has helped shape me into the event coordinator I am today. I have assisted at nearly 40 weddings – all throughout the Los Angeles area.
