Sehrish Shahabuddin she/her
Co-Founder, Planner, Logistics Guru
I should’ve known I wanted to be an event planner when I forced my friends to attend the 2007 Kids Choice Awards watch party I hosted in my room - green slime smoothies and all. Event planning fuels my passion for bringing people together - everyone loves a good party. Partnering with you, I know we can create greatness, and we can’t wait to meet you!
Dylan Skaggs he/him
Co-Founder, Planner, Creative
As Taylor Swift once said, “nice to meet you, where you been?” Thank you for being here. From the time I was young, I found joy in celebrating others. I’d wake up early the morning of my mom’s birthday to decorate the house with homemade banners and prepare her a stack of pancakes. While breakfast in bed isn’t something we offer (yet), this passion for celebrating others is at the root of our work!
