A dream come true…ever since Kelly was a little girl she dreamed
about becoming a wedding planner. In college she began to pursue
this dream and took an Entrepreneur class to explore how she might
be able to create her own successful business someday.
She wrote a business plan and realized that this vision could soon
become a reality! To gain experience, Kelly worked as a Wedding
Coordinator at University Presbyterian Church in Seattle,
Washington. She coordinated up to three weddings a weekend and
eventually realized it was time to open her own business! She
planned weddings and events on the side for years while she
continued to pursue her career in Human Resources.
Eventually, Kelly had the opportunity to take her wedding and event
planning company full-time and thus, the beginning of Sweet Pea
Events! Her sincere passion for people, coupled with her creativity
and event savvy, are just a few reasons why she loves event planning
and would enjoy the opportunity to work with you.
Outside of work, Kelly enjoys yoga, playing tennis, spending time with
her friends and family, and all things coffee, chocolate, and wine!
She also loves international travel and has been to Switzerland, France,
Italy, Austria, Honduras, Belize, Spain, and Portugal to name a few…and
is itching to plan another trip!
