Where it all began

2019

The Portfolio Grows
From weddings to corporate gatherings, I built my portfolio and quickly became the calm, creative problem-solver every event team needed.

2018

The Spark Was Lit
Started planning weddings and social events while juggling fulltime corporate roles—falling in love with timelines, table décor, and the thrill of a perfectly executed event.

Scaling Up
Managed six-figure budgets, led high-impact events, and built the backend workflows that still keep Pinnacle Affairs running like clockwork today.

2020

Adapting with Grace
Even when the world hit pause, I kept planning. I leaned into virtual events, built stronger systems, and showed up for clients when they needed it most.

2023

Pinnacle Affairs Is Born

After years of refining my process and gaining experience, I made it official. Pinnacle Affairs launched as a boutique planning studio rooted in organization, creativity, and ease.
