About Us

We are grateful for the opportunity to introduce ourselves. Our team is composed of strong, talented, and hardworking women who have been collectively planning & executing events for years.

As designers we believe in creating more than just a pretty space. We focus on you, your story, & incorporating that into every facet of your day. Our goal is to create timeless events that are reflective of our clients, while also designing an intentional experience for your guests – one that truly speaks to who you are as a couple. We believe in collaborating with our clients to build one-of-a-kind events.

Our passion is building relationships. We believe in working side by side with you to create your day just as you have envisioned it. We take pride in doing the hard work behind the scenes so you can be fully present in the moment.

We firmly believe that love is a human right and are proud to support ALL couples. We celebrate everyone for who they are and who they love.

It takes a personal commitment, it takes careful attention to detail, & we believe we are the just the team to handle it.

We cannot wait to create something memorable with you.

Meet Our Team


Shelly Fortune

founder

 

Originally from Oregon, she moved to San Diego in 2003, and after being trained by a renowned event planner, relocated to D.C. Four years later Shelly and her family settled in Kentucky. She loves incorporating unique & timeless design elements into everything she does & being surrounded by a strong team of women. Her favorite things to do are spend time with her two daughters & share a meal around the dinner table with friends.

 

Beth Thorner

A part of the SF team since 2015, Beth plans and executes our weddings from beginning to end. A former graphic designer, she loves the creative design aspect of wedding planning, building out floorplans, and watching the First Look between couples on wedding days.
