The primary goal of any event we plan is to make the guests feel something. From the time they receive a personalized invitation to the time they walk into the room and beyond - we want them be moved - to feel special, considered, and loved. That attention and care is ultimately a reflection of our clients and what the people in their circle mean to them. Whether a corporate party celebrating its employees or a wedding celebrating a union of two families, the recipe is the same. Personalized, intentional details alongside seamless logistics and one of one designs that challenge the status quo.

A Chicago native, Payton moved to ATL and joined the team in 2016. Her wardrobe consists mostly of black, but don’t let that fool you. Payton has a keen eye for detail, a flair for edgy creativity, and a deep love for carefully curated color. When she’s not spending her time planning epic moments for her clients, she's training for a race, curling up with a coffee + her latest read, or learning a new trade for her next home improvement project.
Kelley was born and raised in Georgia and has spent the past several years building a career as both a teacher and an event planner. After welcoming her second child, she chose to pause her teaching career to focus full time on her passion for event planning. Kelley loves bringing creative visions to life through intricate, one-of-a-kind designs that leave a lasting impression on clients and guests alike. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family + dogs, traveling to the beach, working out, and getting lost in a good book.
Originally from Chicago, Emma spent four years in Houston before settling in Atlanta, the place she now calls home. She’s been in the event world for six years and has planned everything from galas and corporate events to intimate dinner parties—but weddings have her heart. Emma loves getting to know each couple and infusing personal, meaningful touches into every detail of their day.
Known for her love of mixing color, pattern, and texture, Emma creates events that feel fresh, thoughtful, and uniquely “you.” When she’s not planning, you’ll find her reading, hiking with her dog, working on a craft, or spending time with her husband, friends, and family.
Overjoyed for the celebrations and goodness to come!

Our clients are diverse in their backgrounds, upbringings, and educations. They are people who enjoy the sunshine, but appreciate the rain. People who love to enjoy dinners in new places, honor family traditions while creating new ones, and fill their cup with great conversations. People who can find as much joy couching with Netflix as they do dancing the night away. People who appreciate every moment because life and its intricacies are dually magnificent.
Each year, we donate a portion of our profits to organizations that are near to our hearts.
Charlie and Dansby are the fur babies of our office. They motivate us and cheer us on in their own little ways. We love the work Friends of Animals does to save animals from exploitation.
The only thing Karen craved while pregnant was Wendy's fries and that's how she learned about Dave Thomas's Foundation - by reading the bag. Karen's and Payton's families have had wonderful adoption experiences. This organization is doing great work to match families with children in the foster care system before they age out of foster care.
