Nature is one of my biggest inspirations.

 

I may have been a photographer in another life.

 

Vegetarian with Vegan tendencies.

 

I grew up near Chicago (Go Bears!). 

 

Solo traveler.

 

Peonies and Ranunculus make me really happy -- they're the epitome of texture, color and fragrance.

 

All about meditation and everything self-growth.

 

Cats, cats, cats.

 

On days off, you can find me thrifting!

​

Hazy IPAs for life

"I genuinely trusted Stephanie with every decision...the day of I felt like I didn’t have to worry about anything because I trusted she would execute our vision and make sure everything went smoothly. I so appreciated how Stephanie helped guide me on decisions in such a supportive way..Her hard work, professionalism, experience, and supportive nature put me at so much ease."

LOVE to travel, and camp!

Dog mom to sweet Otis.

 

Whiskey ginger, please.

 

I would describe my design style as very minimal & simple with some bold 

elements sprinkled in.

 

Country Music.

 

I'm really good at binge watching shows, currently its Grace & Frankie.

 

I love lists. I make a list for any and everything.

​

Nothing beats a good hike.

​

Avid audio booker.

​

On the hunt for the best deli sandwich in San Diego. Send your favs my way!

"Julia was very kind, professional and organized. She listened to what our vision was and guided us on that journey. She made the day-of seamless, so we actually had time to enjoy our special day, while she dealt with all the intricate deals and communication with our vendors. Our wedding was a dream come true and that was in large part to Julia and her team!"

As native San Diegan, I believe in the healing power of sunshine and saltwater. 

​

Mama to 3 little girls - appropriately dubbed 'The Spice Girls'.

​

Is there really such a thing as owning too many blankets and pillows?

​

I could cross-country road trip listening to nothing but 90s Jamz the entire way.

​

Still looking for a more perfect pair than decadent chocolate and a bold red wine.

​

Camping and enjoying nature is foundational to my family's connectedness.

​

I love helping and seeing people enjoy life together!

Lover of life.

 

Grateful for new experiences.

 

Believer in being generous with your existence.

 

Mommy to three kiddos and a pup.

 

On a mission to visit all 3-star Michelin restaurants with my husband.

 

Going to the spa, facials and manicures are my "me time" favorites.

 

Blasting jazz music with a glass of Pinot Noir while cooking for people I love makes me happy. 

 

Multi- tasking is my forte.

 

Obsessed with finance related podcasts.

 

I embrace both the highs and lows in life, as both sides will always have something to teach us.

"Nicole was completely incredible. She brought us such peace of mind and ensured that our chaotic day went as smoothly as possible. She produced a detailed day-of timeline that we then collaborated on...She offered valuable advice on small details we overlooked, and shared constructive feedback in a kind, compassionate, solution-focused manner. She was an angel on our side and we’re so grateful!" 

 

- Ashley, Bride

"Rachael was professional, attentive, and most of all caring. She constantly told me that everything will be ok and I should never stress on my wedding day and just to enjoy my moment. I’ll never forget that, that really meant a lot to me and it also made me realize how much I trusted her and her work. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for anyone else."

"Events Inspired was truly crucial to the success of our wedding. Christina was a god send!...She helped keep things on track...and kept us all motivated and excited when things seemed to be getting stressful. We really cannot thank her enough."
