Still soaking this one in.

I’m incredibly honored to have received the Editor’s Choice Award for Event Design at the @oregonweddingday Best of event.

This award is especially meaningful because this shoot was created to celebrate the partnership between Portland Event & Design and Jenkins Estate. What started as a creative collaboration has grown into a relationship I’m incredibly grateful for, and this recognition feels like a celebration of everything we’ve built together so far.

A huge thank you to the Oregon Wedding Day team @lauren_irondiamond @alexis_irondiamond @sonja_irondiamond for the recognition and support yesterday provide, and an even bigger thank you to the incredible vendor team that brought this vision to life. 

Every person involved is someone I deeply respect and am grateful to call a partner in this industry. Here’s to great partnerships, incredible vendors, and creating beautiful things together.

24 years.

That’s how long catering has been a part of my life.

It has given me incredible experiences, lifelong friendships, countless lessons, and a front-row seat to some of life’s most meaningful celebrations. I’m incredibly grateful for every client, coworker, venue partner, and vendor who has been part of that journey.

But sometimes growth means turning the page.

I’m excited to share that I’m putting all of my energy and focus into Portland Event & Design.

While catering helped shape who I am and brought me to where I am today, that chapter has come to a close, and I’m fully embracing what’s next. Portland Event & Design is more than a business to me, it’s the culmination of years of experience, creativity, relationship-building, and a genuine love for creating unforgettable events.

To my vendor partners who have continued to support and encourage me through this transition, thank you. Your confidence in me means more than you know.

And a special thank you to Joie for helping bring my vision to life through a beautiful new logo and website. You absolutely knocked it out of the park.

If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d love for you to take a look. The new website is live, and honestly, it’s gorgeous.

Here’s to the next chapter, new opportunities, and continuing to celebrate life’s biggest moments.

All about the details.

Sophia and Matt had a vision for their day, and we had so much fun bringing it to life. Every detail was intentional and personal, from the custom signage, cocktail napkins, cups and t-shirts to all of the little touches throughout the day.

One of my favorite details was the seating chart, which was attached to a custom painting created by a close family friend. And for dessert? Milk and cookies. Such a fun, unexpected detail that felt completely like them. But after they cut a beautiful cake made by Sophia’s sister Ava. 

The entire day was thoughtful, personal and a true reflection of who they are as a couple. I loved getting to bring their vision to life and celebrate these two incredible people.

Katie & Artur 🤍

Tucked into the greenery at Jenkins Estate, Katie & Artur’s meadow wedding felt like the perfect Oregon summer day. Lush gardens, beautiful florals and all of their favorite people gathered together to celebrate.

The Meadow really is something special.

Your reminder to make your reception feel like YOU.

Do the things you love, play the music you actually want to dance to, and don’t take it all too seriously.

You planned the party, now go have fun at it. 🤍 p.s. dancing props are so fun!

The in-between moments might be some of our favorites.

Cocktail hour in the garden, drinks flowing, and nowhere else anyone needs to be.
