“Meaning Matters”. 🤍

Our Founder and CEO started her Event Planning & Hospitality business with the purpose to create meaningful events with authentic hospitable experiences.

When you dig a little deeper this means, experiencing more around the table, sharing love with others…. great company, stories, food, personalized details that delight and wow guests and more…

“It’s November and the Holiday Season is upon us! I’m convinced that we are all desiring to create more meaning around our tables this year!

My challenge for you is to be intentional with how you will share more love with others around your table!”

Ideas & Tips:
- Choose a recipe that shares a story or a meaningful memory you can share with loved ones.

- Pray together, encourage and support one another.

- Add a design detail to your table setting that shows your guests they are thought of. Maybe a personalized name card or inviting seasonal centerpieces.
