I am the funny, outgoing, entrepreneur. I have a business degree and about 15 years of business and sales management experience. I feel fulfilled in life by helping others achieve what they thought was previously impossible. I'm competitive by nature, which probably stems from all the years I played football, up through college. I balance my passion for success with humor; we love to have fun in our family as much as we love winning. You can often find us in our living room playing family board games, laughing our heads off and singing our own made up songs.
I am the bubbly, energetic, artist. My soul is absolutely filled when I am able to create something beautiful, which is why, after 5 years of infertility, my baby girl was the greatest blessing ever. I grew up in Spokane and also lived in Miami, one mile from the beach, while earning my Master's degree. I crave connecting with people, can't survive without the sun shining in my hair, seek out all kinds of natural beauty, and I am driven to teach what I know and help others. Now, as long as I have lots of time outside and with my family, and some pickles nearby, I'm a pretty happy camper.
Boise may be home for this Idaho native but I have to credit my 7 years in Las Vegas, working in the hospitality industry, for my passion towards customer service and planning... and the desire to throw one hell of a party! After graduating with a degree in Nutrition Science from UNLV, I fell into the wedding world, working with some of Las Vegas's finest wedding vendors, and decided to make a career change. Even though I love health & fitness, you could say I'm more passionate about designing, decorating, & perfecting ALL the wedding details. After moving back to Boise, with my husband and two fur babies (Stella & Arty #crazycatlady), I started Ivory & Sage Events; a wedding planning company designing memorable events through the detailed eye. I love to work with other creatives, thinking outside the box on design logistics.

Do you struggle to get paid what you feel you are worth?
Do you want to raise your prices but you fear no one will book if you do?
Do you take on a ton of budget brides just to end up burnt out and uninspired?
Or do you want to add variety to an already amazing portfolio?
your Investment
I knew that attracting a luxury bride meant I needed to create a portfolio packed with luxury inspired images. The only problem: those things are freaking expensive. If any of you have ever planned a styled shoot for yourself you know that 1) it takes a ton of work, and 2) it comes with a lot of out of pocket costs.
No one alone could pay for, plan, and execute the magnitude of what we have in store for this workshop. It has taken a team of highly talented individuals coming together to elevate the industry and give back to our community of wedding professionals. Together, we can accomplish so much more than we can alone!
Your Investment:

early bird price, increases to $1400 on March 23, 2021
additional $199 to stay both nights at the venue
