She is passionate about creating beautiful, memorable experiences and find true fulfillment in bringing people’s visions to life through event planning. Paige pours her heart into every detail to ensure each event is as exceptional and unique as the people it honors.
When Paige is not planning celebrations, you can find her in the kitchen experimenting with flavors and perfecting recipes.
