who we are.
About Us
In August 2016 our journey started with a small cupcake order. Today, we are a proud team of 11 staff members that are aligned with the heart and vision of this company.
Built on the belief that putting together phenomenal event experiences – no matter how simple or complex – could be achieved without compromising integrity, kindness, precision and the opportunity to build enduring relationships with our partners. So we did exactly that.
