OUR TEAM

Leslie Jones

Founder and Lead Planner

Leslie was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. At a young age, she loved planning and bringing people together. Even as a toddler, her parties where the place to be. While attending Arizona State University, her passion and love for events made her the go-to-girl for planning sorority fundraisers, community and social events. Leslie's favorite part of a wedding is watching the bride walk down the aisle, it makes her cry every time!

Her creativity and attention to detail can turn any space into an inviting environment.  She works with clients to create an event that is true to their personal style and unforgettable for their guest.  Shadon's favorite part of a wedding is when the reception space is revealed to the couple.
