Meet LUCY

our founder and creative director

Growing up as the daughter of diplomats, I was fortunate to witness the intricacies of hosting and attending events. The world of gatherings, with its blend of purpose and connection, shaped my understanding of the power of bringing people together with intention.

However, event planning wasn't my first career choice. After college, I followed my initial passion for coral reef conservation, which led me to Mexico. I spent 10 years working as a marine biologist on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, dividing my time between Belize, Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico.

The transition into event planning came unexpectedly when I was asked to help organize a neighbor’s wedding. The event was such a success that it sparked a wave of referrals. Before I knew it, what started as a favor had turned into a full-time career.

Now, with over 300 weddings under my belt and 20 years of living and working in the Mexican Caribbean,  I bring unique regional knowledge, trusted vendor relationships, and a refined sense of design to every celebration. And as a native English speaker, I bridge cultural nuances and eliminate miscommunication—ensuring every detail is understood, intentional, and aligned with my client’s vision.
