From planning my own wedding and other events as a hobby, one thing was clear—creating memorable moments through incredible celebrations was something that lit a fire in me, and I was really good at it. I knew I had to take that passion and channel it into a career.
Out of that passion, Touch of Jewel was born. Through my wedding and event production studio, I have the privilege of getting to play a role in some of life’s most important moments for my clients. I thrive on building intimate relationships that help me and the TOJ team build equally as intimate and personalized events that capture each of my client’s unique personalities.
IT'S ME, JEWEL
Hi Gems!
My outgoing nature, eye for gorgeous designs, and meticulous planning and coordination skills are the ideal fit for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable event that will leave guests talking for years to come. Whether you are planning the wedding of your dreams, your child’s first birthday, or the corporate bash of the century, it is my honor and privilege to help you bring your vision to life.
When I’m not planning and executing events, I’m trying to keep up with my husband and two active boys. Together, we enjoy working out in our home gym, listening to music and dancing and traveling to explore different cities and countries in the world. When I need some me time, you can catch me drinking a cup of tea during the day while cooking or baking and sipping a glass of wine or one of my cocktail mixes at night while keeping up on current events and trends in the event industry.
