wedding planning world with both feet. I secured an internship at Simply Chic and spent the next six years working my way up the ranks—from month-of wedding planner to associate planner to senior planner and wedding designer—before eventually becoming the owner (my favorite role to date!).
Whether I’m cooking up a six-course storm for my Italian family (bring on the truffle risotto and Great Grandma’s sauce) or helping two inspiring people celebrate the beginning of their new life together, I always create from a place of connection. I firmly believe that empathy, understanding, and an open heart are the magic ingredients for making something that’s not just beautiful—but meaningful. Today, there’s nothing I love more than using my honed eye for design and innate “people person” spirit to ensure yours is a celebration of love unlike any other on Earth.
Hi, friend—I’m over the moon that you found this boutique planning-and-design family we call Simply Chic!
As someone who was born and raised in a big, warm Italian family, hosting and generosity have been a cornerstone of my joy for as long as I can remember. When friends would come over for sleepovers, I had to make everything special—from the design of the room to the “tasting menu” for the night. As I got older, carefully curated sleepovers turned into stunning dinner parties and high-quality happy hours at my house. I soon found myself the go-to organizer who was asked to plan every gathering and girls’ trip for our friend group (and you can bet my planning was always complete with timed-out itineraries to keep everyone on track).
Right out of college, I followed my calling for planning purposeful celebrations and jumped into the luxury

previous chapter in my career, as it taught me how to view and value the many moving pieces of an event through a different—and tighter—lens. It allowed me a nuanced understanding of what each vendor goes through, which, today, helps me effectively advocate for your interests and negotiate with the best of them on your behalf. (Seriously, I never take ‘no’ for an answer—if there’s a will, there’s a way.)
While I will forever love the exhilaration that comes from seeing your event vision come to fruition—if I had to choose my favorite part of this work, it would be the people, without a doubt. Forming relationships with you and yours and being entrusted to create an immersive experience that reflects your individuality is an honor I will never, ever tire of (bonus points if you’re willing to brainstorm the perfect classic getaway car with me).
My enthusiasm for (read: obsession with) high-style events dates back decades to a fateful grocery-store trip when, at seven years old, I asked my mom to purchase my first wedding magazine. I was immediately captivated by the beauty and artistry on those pages—the colors, the dresses, the design elements, the love stories—all of it spoke to me. I began to create mood boards (on my bedroom walls, no less) and attend wedding expos long before any proposal of my own (hey, no shame). Weddings were the first love of my life—and to say I was enamored would be an understatement.
I went on to work in every aspect of events I could get my hands on—taking on roles in catering, paper goods, attire, and bakeries. While I ended up following my ultimate dream of becoming an event planner and designer, I have such gratitude for that
