Affordability & Ease

A wedding should be a magical and dreamy affair, but the many details, decisions, and dollar signs can weigh down the experience.

If you’re looking for a more winsome approach, then invite your guests to kick off their shoes and point them towards a stack of blankets and baskets brimming with goodness.

No table assignments or centerpieces needed. Natural physical distancing.

Skip the hall and find a park:

The City of Portland offers reservations at beautiful parks for low cost permits.

About the Owner

Holly is a lover of themes and well-curated events; when combined, these celebrations make strangers into quick friends and elevate a communal sense of presence. Each event is a creative reflection of the guest and/or occasion, while optimizing within the design parameters. For instance, one host had limited entertaining space and a surplus of cabernet so Holly created a “12 Cabs of Christmas” wine tasting with stations throughout the house to help accommodate a longer guest list. Guests’ first activity was a silly xmas ornament craft which was then used as a voting instrument for each cluster of wine bottles.

Holly has curated dozens of highly memorable parties, showers and retreats – both personal and corporate. This Feng Shui birthday series gives you a simple snapshot of her work with themes: Metal, Water, Wood, Earth, Fire.

If you’re looking to sprinkle some magic on your event, complete the contact form for a complimentary 30 min consultation.
