Before I launched The Refined Host in 2018, I produced luxury events for an upscale event planning firm in New York City. I had the pleasure of working at iconic venues around the world such as The Plaza Hotel, The American Museum of Natural History, Blue Hill at Stone Barns, Cipriani, The Breakers Palm Beach, and Sheen Falls Lodge in County Kerry, Ireland.
While I grew up in Buffalo, NY and it will always remain my home, I currently spend half of my time in sunny Atlanta, GA. Traveling is a large part of my life and it is so exciting when my work takes me to new destinations.
Providing my clients with the highest level of customer service is extremely important to me. Therefore, I take on a limited number of clients each year to ensure I give my full attention to each project. I am very grateful for the ability to create lasting friendships with many of my clients that continue even when the planning process is over and the event was a huge success!
