About
I heard once that you will learn a lot about a person by what’s on their desk. Between linen samples, garden books and vision boards in progress, mine never sees a dull moment. Same story with my coffee table – and on most nights, I fall asleep to the glow of Pinterest. That craving for design detail in my home and professional life is what led me to a career in event planning. I have always had a passion for entertaining, and I consider myself lucky to share this journey with the amazing people I get to call my clients.
Setting the stage for events that will one day stand out as incredible memories is what I thrive on. Nothing makes me happier than those serendipitous moments when colleagues, clients and friends come together, proud to celebrate life’s greatest milestones and goals.
I am a no-nonsense kind of gal and have even been described as a firework: bright and cheerful with a loud and powerful impact! Most importantly, my devotion to my clients is genuine. I want the absolute best experience for you, and will do whatever it takes to make your personal vision reality.

Jordan Oedewaldt
Born and raised as a San Diego girl, I quickly found my paradise in Sonoma County. From the beauty of nature, to the small town feel, I knew that I had found my home.
Growing up I was always the one to throw my friends birthday parties, decorate the table at thanksgiving, and sit in my room working on “my latest project.” My parents have always asked where I get my creativity from and my answer is that it has always come naturally. Whatever the project was I always felt a sense of fulfillment afterwards.
I have always been very detailed oriented, organized, and creative, so I was instantly drawn to the idea of being an event planner at an early age. In college I took a job as an event coordinator at a boutique winery and after my first event, I was hooked!
Every event that I am apart of, I always find myself taking a few moments, among the hustle and bustle, to stop and look around. The people smiling, the vision that came to life, the memories that are being made right in front of my eyes.. I helped do THAT! Whether I find myself on Pinterest making new vision boards for clients, imagining potential events every time I’m in a new space, or attending events to network with my fellow planners, my career has become the center of my life and I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
