OUR TEAM

Allie Barham CREATIVE DIRECTOR
+ PRINCIPAL PLANNER

Allie's prowess is anchored in experience and brimming with creativity; with over a decade in the world of event planning, her team is uniquely equipped to concept and deliver events that constantly exceed expectations.

Fluent in all nuances of logistical planning coupled with her background in design, Allie’s team has produced events that have been featured on Style Me Pretty, Martha Stewart Weddings, Magnolia Rouge, Wedding Sparrow and regularly in print in the Knot magazine.

When it comes to taking care of clients, Allie leads the charge in our team's uncompromising pursuit for excellence.⁠ Often described as "excellent at being firm but kind", she connects with a balance of transparency and compassion—keeping the client's priorities and their relationship as the focus of all communications.

As a wife and mom of two energetic elementary age children, a dog and cat, Allie is a confessed plant nerd with a penchant for escapes to the Blue Ridge Mountains. On non-event weekends, you'll likely find her at her children’s sporting events, curled up with a crossword, ⁠or cooking up a new adventurous recipe from scratch.

Samson HUMAN RELATIONS

A true Golden, Samson would rather be swimming, always. This gentle, old fellow spends most of his time alerting us to anyone who might consider walking by the office door, accepting thoughtful treats that come with the Fedex deliveries, or snoozing with his feet tucked under the rug.

Samson's sure to greet any arriving visitor with a welcoming bark and plenty of undivided attention, making sure everyone feels seen and heard (a true HR rep!).

OUR Philosophy

Mission

We strive to create events that: personally + creatively reflect each client; are anchored by a solid foundation of seamless function, flow, and form; and cultivate lasting memories for clients & guests alike.

Approach

In addition to over a decade of experience, we seek to provide transparency, honesty, and grace as we walk clients through each phase of event design & planning. With hearts rooted in serving, we look to show love and kindness—recognizing each person is so much more than simply a client or guest. Long after the event has passed, we hope that you reflect back on your experience with our team as a blessing during a season of change—be it a wedding, private event, or corporate milestone.

With a proactive mindset for each event, we simplify and reduce the time & effort each client would have to invest themselves. Events are a time of celebration and delight—shouldn’t time spent planning them be as well?

Essence

In every endeavor, we aim to embody the following core values:

enthusiasm • consistency • dedication • creativity • compassion

We’re passionate about each and every detail that makes celebrations complete. Always seeking the perfect balance in events and in life: the ceremonial with the casual, the sophisticated with the simple, the traditional with the trendsetting, the extravagant with the everyday: Each moment is a gift worth celebrating.

Kickstarted by coffee, emboldened by experience, and inspired by the ordinary, we are typically found meticulously working away, cozied up to our office pups—constantly seeking to create experiences where details shine, joy is abundant, and execution is flawless.
