Director for the alternative newspaper Philadelphia City Paper, I enjoyed planning everything from a citywide scavenger hunt for Cirque du Soleil to a craft fair of local artists to a cocktail party at 30th Street Station. As an independent wedding and event planner, I’ve planned full-service affairs and coordinated weddings at private homes and popular, beautiful venues such as The Fairmount Horticulture Center, Power Plant Productions, Colonial Dames, The National Constitution Center, The Franklin Institute, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Moulin, The Chemical Heritage Foundation, Le Meridien, Greystone Hall, The College of Physicians, Reading Terminal Market, the Powell House, Phoenixville Foundry, Academy of Natural Sciences, Aldie Mansion, Radnor Hunt, Water Works, the Maas Building, Springfield Country Club, Merion Tribute House, as well as day camps in New Jersey and Maryland, barns in Lancaster, and country clubs in the Poconos. I am willing to travel to any destination – whether you live there or you just want to get away. I’ll go wherever my clients want and look forward to helping each couple or company find their unique entertaining style.
