As a seasoned event planner (and native East Coaster), I actually started my career on the beaches of the Jersey Shore. Before I knew it, I was planning high-profile events and large-scale weddings for upwards of 2,500 guests, in Philadelphia, New York City, and San Francisco.

I earned my credentials working for some of the top hospitality companies in the world, including The Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, St. Regis, and Lotte New York Palace, where I planned fundraising galas, holiday parties, product launches, executive meetings, and roadshows for Fortune 500 companies.

In fact, during my time in NYC, I had the rare honor of working with both the White House and the US Department of State planning their Presidential receptions and working with various foreign delegations and heads of state.

Needless to say, when it comes to event planning and producing, I have done it all!

Now, with 17 years of whirlwind experience behind me, motherhood and family life meant it was time to refocus. Therefore, I finally decided to launch my own boutique event planning company which I have been dreaming about my entire career, SMA Events, here in Salt Lake City, where I plan every type of intimate to small to mid-size event.

My favorite part of my job is the one-on-one relationship with my clients. My goal is to always listen intensely to your vision for your event, go above and beyond to exceed your expectations, while still being sensitive to your budget.

I want you to be blown away by my creativity, energy, inspired touches, and attention to every little detail, ensuring a one-of-a-kind experience with unparalleled service and the highest standard of professionalism.

You can count on me to flawlessly execute a cohesive, sophisticated, and elegant, picture-perfect event. I’m excited to hear your story and hopefully be part of your planning experience!
