AND, who am I?
I‘m Heather! I came about planning events honestly: as a youngster, I served my gregarious parents and their friends my homemade hors d’oeuvres, along with a cocktail or two (and they ate it all up!). Early on, I saw people laughing and engaged, celebrating their love for life and one another at various events and, I loved it. I was bitten!
After many years of schooling and a graduate degree in Exercise Physiology, I couldn’t shake the hospitality bug. Throughout school and beyond I worked in restaurants, catering, event planning and on larger special events across the country. When I casually mention to a potential client that I come from a catering past, it truly is an understatement! Get to know me and I will tell you so much more.
I am enthusiastic, fun-loving, kind, and as my mom would say, “full of moxie”. I live with my handy Andy firefighter husband, a teenage super genius that can’t seem to keep his bedroom clean, and two animals that don’t talk back as much as the humans in the house. Life is, and has always been, an adventure!
