About Us

Kelly Soule, Founder and Principal Planner, has over 15 years of experience successfully managing complex events, hospitality and marketing programs. She began her career at Goldman Sachs, executing large-scale research conferences and client entertainment programs.

Her love for events comes from a passion for people and a passion for logistics. Not only is every detail thoughtfully planned and executed, but she focuses on the complete guest experience and ensures every aspect of the event is a moment. With a loyal and dedicated team, behind her, her long-standing client relationships have brought her and the firm continued success.
