Insights from an Event Pro
What makes an event unforgettable? It’s not just the decor, the entertainment, or even the food (though all of those matter). From the lens of a seasoned event professional, the magic lies in the details no one sees - the pre-event walk-throughs, the months of vendor coordination, and the calm problem-solving when Plan A becomes Plan B, then C. In this business, it's not enough to be creative -you also need to be adaptable, strategic, and relentlessly solution-oriented.
Love Notes
We call them Love Notes—the kind words our clients share after an event that exceeded their expectations. These testimonials reflect the trust, collaboration, and care that go into every experience we create. From heartfelt thank-yous to glowing reviews, each note reminds us why we do what we do.
Whether it’s a corporate client who applauded our precision and professionalism or a nonprofit partner who praised the impact of a seamless fundraiser, these stories speak volumes. We’re honored to be part of your most meaningful moments—and even more honored when you share how they made you feel.
"Lynn goes over and beyond for her clients and she does everything she can to meet client's expectations, all the way down to the finest details. You can tell through her work that she wants guests to walk away from her events with the best experience possible. I had the pleasure of experiencing Lynn's event planning expertise during a trip to Cartagena in Columbia. Her communication was impeccable, and the execution was seamless. I continue to recommend her to colleagues whenever possible."

Chief Executive Officer at Agency Abron
"Lynn is one of the most talented and hardworking people I have ever met. I worked with Lynn in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Illinois Tech. Although on different teams, we still worked together many times as Lynn regularly planned large events for our office, which hosted hundreds of prospective students, and their families, from all over the country. I was always blown away by Lynn's organizational skills and her attention to detail, down to when to open/close a door, or even when to adjust a tablecloth. There were never any issues when Lynn organized an event because she always had everything planned down to each minute. Anyone would be lucky to have Lynn as a leader or a teammate, and I would trust her to plan an event any day!"

Lynn so graciously listened to my challenge of how to logistically prepare for my Dearest Friend's Bachelorette Trip that consisted of a 45-person invite list to Barbados. As the Maid of Honor, I wanted to make sure that there was a streamlined process in place for the guests. After hearing my concerns, Lynn provided several suggestions and solutions on how best to approach this trip-planning process. One of the solutions was connecting me to an awesome travel agent that provided the streamlined system that was needed. Another solution was providing a communication outline of how to best share the trip information with the guests. I can't thank Lynn enough for her "Power Hour" call with me which left me feeling empowered and focused on the task at hand! The Bride-To-Be is so excited about her Bachelorette Trip and was very appreciate of how organized the trip planning logistics are going! Thank you, Lynn! 😉 #Teamwork!"

-Rachael Turner
Brand Designer, Strategist & Creative Director, Rosemint Inc.
"Lynn is exceptional at asking the right questions. She gets you to think outside the box and evaluate issues from different standpoints. Example: How would a customer feel reading this part of your brand story if they are coming from "Angle X"? How are you challenging them or welcoming them into your circle? Her insights and curiosity add value to any leader looking to share their story with a captive audience. I appreciate her."
-Nicole Brown
Chief Creator, Ruth Nathans
"I've worked with Lynn for various events for about 15 years. The most recent event was for a Christmas concert to support a non-profit. Lynn is extremely organized, detailed, and communicative. Any questions that we may have come up with was communicated in her introductory documents, sent out to the participants. But in addition to that, she was also very receptive to group input and suggestions. All voices were heard. She was and has always been a pleasure to work with. Lynn's artistic creativity and attention to detail makes her a perfect event planner."
-Christopher Thomas
Financial Manager, Georgia Institute of Technology
"Working with Lynn is awesome! She is dependable, timely and fun to be around (whether that's in-person or virtual). Lynn is especially good at visualizing and then curating your event from the point of view of multiple participants. I'd happily work with her again in a heartbeat!"
