calling all those with a
story to celebrate…
wherever that story may take you
// hello starshine.

our travel
bucketlist.
everyone has one and sometimes i wonder if mine is too long (can a bucketlist even be too long?). i guess that’s debatable.
all i know is i’m perpetually plotting my next trip. over the years, we’ve met our clients in some pretty incredible locations. nothing would thrill us more than adding your destination to our list as we walk you through the planning process.
whether it be interstate, intercontinental, or the other side of the globe. you name the city, we’ll meet you there. if it’s on our list, we have a surprise waiting for you when we book!

santorini has been at the top of my list for quite some time. there is something enthralling about the mediterranean sea; something about the food, the people, and the architecture that makes it an absolute must for me. and now imagine…the pictures you’ll get.

i have said it before and i’ll say it again. thai cuisine is my favorite on earth. everybody in my life knows that it takes few things to make me happy, but even less if you include an order of panang curry in the mix. if you tell me that noodles will be included in your catering selection? i may just cry.

i would be lying if i said that a wedding or elopement in marrakech would not be the highlight of my entire career. if given the option, i would singlehandedly mosaic my entire house. for me, a life full of color is a life well-lived. now close your eyes and imagine how vibrant your big day would be if this was your destination.

i recently took the opportunity to explore and get to know my motherland. funny enough, it was for a wedding. so i am excited for the day that i can sip on a glass of albariño or cava in celebration of a wedding or elopement well-planned.

the rich culture, history, and landscape are just three reasons i have this high up on my list. that and the fact that starting your reception with a few tequila shots will make for a fantastic story.
// why ‘ad astra’?
ad astra is a latin phrase that has been coined by a number of authors. the first time i encountered the quote was as part of a longer phrase—”per aspera ad astra”. it was this excerpt that resonated with me. the phrase itself means “our aspirations take us to the stars”. and while i have always had a fascination with all things celestial, i wanted our mission to reflect each couple’s love “to the stars and back”. few things make me as happy as stars, but thai cuisine is a close runner-up.
