For the last 15+ years, I’ve been helping people celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with creativity, humour, and a whole lot of of zen.

​I’ve always been drawn to people, connection and storytelling — the deep stuff and the fun stuff. The real stuff. And that’s what I bring to every wedding, event or celebration I’m part of. I’m not about trends or perfection, I’m about moments that feel authentic, effortless, and reflect you.

Having built EventZen from the ground up in Sydney, I'm now based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, working with couples and clients across Australia.

Whether I’m planning your wedding, writing your ceremony, or making sure your product launch flows like a dream, I bring creativity, clarity, and a deep understanding of what matters most to you.

​I wear many hats... but underneath it all, I’m someone who knows how to hold space, stay organised, and create meaningful moments that people remember for all the right reasons.

What I’m Known For

  • A calm presence (even when the tent’s flying away)

  • Honest guidance (no sugar-coating, but always kind)

  • Deep, active listening

  • Creative, intuitive solutions

  • Being the person people text when they’re overwhelmed — and feel instantly better after 

Working with Me

You’ll find I’m warm, down to earth and unflappable.

I’ll guide you, support you, and gently tell you when something’s not worth stressing over.

I’m here for the big picture and the tiny details — for the heart and the spreadsheet.

If you’re dreaming of a celebration that feels like you (and want someone who’ll walk alongside you every step of the way) — let’s chat.

Why I Do What I Do

Because life is short, love is sacred, and connection is everything.

Because we all deserve to be celebrated in a way that feels real and right.

Because when things are planned with care and heart, people can actually breathe and be present.

Because I love seeing people feel seen. That’s the magic!
