ABOUT US | everyseasonevents

I was born in Smithtown, Long Island. Mostly raised in Wallkill, New York. Attended Wallkill Senior High School and shortly after, I enlisted in the United States Navy in May 1999. I spent the next 12-years in working as a Yeoman- Administrative Secretary, received my Associates in Business Administration, met my husband and had two beautiful children-which Jasmine (in the photo with me) has begun to be our little mini-event planner with us - she loves when we do children events! :) The last three years of my Naval career I was afforded the opportunity to work as an event planner. Assisting in the coordination of numerous Returning Warrior Workshops traveling throughout the Midwest Region.

These three-day workshops were in support of the Service Members from all military branches returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. As time went on, I was asked to coordinate and instruct a two-day Information Systems Technicians Conference in Chicago, Illinois. Soon after, not only realizing that I was able to plan an event myself, I began to feel that this had become my calling and passion!

Since departing from the Navy, I enrolled in the New York Institute of Art and Design for Wedding and Event Planning. During that time I discovered I was about to start my own business. With a total of 9 years experience in the Event Planning-starting my own business has been an amazing experience.

Ordained Minister/Bar Tender

I was born in Highland NY graduated from Highland High School and started Marist College while working as a bartender and waitress. I fell in love with the hospitality industry and put Marist on hold. I worked my way up in the restaurant business to manager and loved every minute of it. I have three amazing-beautiful boys who are my life!

Realizing it was very hard to raise my boys while I was in the restaurant business, I was able to find a job at the Poughkeepsie Post Office as a City Letter Carrier. This job made it possible for me to raise my boys, with its consistent hours and reliable pay. As I carrier I have always craved that hospitality feel again so I started planning Christmas and Retirement parties, as well as numerous fundraisers.

My passion for these events sparked my ambitions for me to push towards my dreams and started working with Every Season Events as a Planning Agent.

Working at ESE has completely changed my life! Due to the experience, knowledge and training I received from Jennifer, I was able to leave the Post Office and I am now a Wedding & Event Planner at the Thyer Hotel at West Point. For the past 2 1/2 years now, events have become my passion, especially weddings and now I am an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church.

Anything is possible if you set your mind to it I am a true believer of that! Lets start planning your next event!
