“Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world.”

About Heather
I have been an event planner for almost twenty years in the Baton Rouge community. While my expertise lies in creative conception for larger, corporate fundraisers, I also flourish in smaller settings like bat mitzvahs and outdoor weddings. My extensive experience allows me to adapt to any environment, budget, or theme. My motto is, "I do it all!"
I pride myself on my ability to create unique and truly original events. My ideas are my own, and my team and I fabricate almost 100% of what we bring to the client. We are resourceful, and we try to practice sustainability whenever we can. However, we also meet the client's needs at the same time.
My favorite part of designing an event is the spirit of collaboration and construction- the culmination of minds coming together to achieve the perfect vision. Then, when it's finally time to kick off, I love seeing the expressions on my clients' faces when the results exceed their expectations! That's why I do what I do!
I live in mid-city Baton Rouge with my two daughters, Sunny and Daisy, and my husband, Jason. I am grateful for my wonderful life.
I Love my Community!
I am committed to my local community, and I believe in its people. I have been active in Baton Rouge non-profit work since 1993. I feel you are only a part of your community when you are giving something back to it, so I attempt to integrate the spirit of giving into what I do everyday, all day long.
