Team
Hey there,
I'm Larissa and I hail from the Land Down Under! I bring extensive experience to the world of event planning and destination weddings along with a passion for great food and equally tasting cocktails, wine and bourbon.
Having worked as an event and wedding planner, and within luxury boutique hotels, I have seen both sides of the industry and understand the critical details that go into each event.
When I am not assisting couples in their planning process, I spend lots of time with my family building epic lego creations, skateboarding, kicking butt in Uno, and taking lots of road trips with our dogs, Luna Moonshine Silver Fox and Dixie Cup.
"The easy part is falling in love, planning the wedding, YIKES!" best quote I heard from a Father of the Bride.
As a Catering Sales Manager at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott, I oversee the sales and coordination of catering services for various types of events, from social celebrations and weddings to military balls and corporate parties. I have a well-rounded event management and food and beverage background in hospitality and customer service with over 15 years of experience.
I have a passion for creating memorable and personalized experiences for my clients, and a keen eye for design, budgeting, and logistics. I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams and building lasting relationships with clients and partners.
When I’m not planning, I love spending time with my kids, DIY crafting, and enjoying “foodie dates” with friends at a local hidden gem.
Looking forward to working with you to plan the best day ever!
