cu·ra·tor (n): one who has care and superintendence of something, using professional or expert knowledge.

As heart-centered professionals, we are driven by creating experiences that touch all of the senses and build connection. To ensure your planning process is personal and distinctive, we focus on a limited number of events each year. We believe relationships are everything; from the relationships we celebrate, to our relationships with clients, to long-standing connections with the most esteemed creative partners and vendors in the industry. We are caretakers of moments and memories.
