FOUNDER. CEO. PLANNER. DESIGNER.
MEET CANDICE MONKOU
With 9 years of experience in the wedding and event industry, and 10 years in education and educational technology, Candice has taken something that was once a passion and has turned it into a thriving business. Her keen eye, attention to detail, and pursuit of perfection has truly shined through in every production.
Hey there! I create alluring bespoke designs that reflect your one-of-a-kind love story. With an emphasis on precision and guest experience, I aim to create jaw-dropping events that will leave you and your guests in awe for years to come.
My favorite part of each journey is the design phase. Piecing elements from the venue design, the couple’s love story, history, and favorite things, to customized elements that stand out from the rest.
Wedding planning and design is truly a passion of mine, and I can not wait to execute your perfect day.
