About Your Event & Wedding Planner

My work may literally be fun and games, but you’ve never met someone who takes events more seriously than me. 

Events are about people, and my people are my world. Celebrating significant moments with them is a sacred act. In my field, we don’t get do-overs or the opportunity to edit the final product. 

So I approach each event with the reverence it deserves. 

Each minuscule detail is labored on. Each guest is fawned over. Each client isn’t just a client — they become family. 

Hospitality isn’t just a necessity in the human experience; taking care of the people around us is a social contract as old as humanity itself. 

Now do you see why I take my work so seriously?

Meet John Campbell

Calm and collected. Design obsessed. Relationship driven. Introspective. Italophile. A little nerdy. Lives and breathes events, having worked in event setup, food and beverage, floristry, and venue management. Constantly craving the ricotta and fig gelato from Gelateria dei Neri in Firenze.

He made us feel so comfortable that we left a lot to him, and it made our engagement so much happier. We knew that John had it. It helped us enjoy the whole process so much more.

Destination events are my favorite. 

We are very energetic people and John has a very calm sense about him. While that wasn’t something we were searching for in a planner, looking back, it ended up being exactly what we needed. John’s balance of being super organized, zen, and never stressed really did help us through the process.

You Should Know This About Me

I’ve worked in hospitality for more than a decade and have yet to meet someone who cares about their clients more than I do. This may be a business, but I take your events personally because I become invested in the human beings behind them. I’m eager to get to know you better.
