Born and raised in Western Massachusetts, just south of the Vermont border, Chelsey is a true New Englander at heart. She grew up with a father who is a chef, so from a young age she was involved in the event industry—catering weddings was always a family affair!

She graduated from Wellesley College with a bachelor's degree in psychology, and it was during this time that she was introduced to the event planning industry. Chelsey's background in healthcare recruiting, combined with her experience working in the luxury wedding space, highlight her penchant for planning, natural communication skills with clients and vendors alike, and keen eye for detail.

Focusing on creating a bespoke experience for each couple is something that Chelsey truly prides herself in. She loves to incorporate personal and heartfelt touches that embrace the individuality of her clients while creating an unforgettable experience for their guests.
