Blakely is a very diligent, high-energy person who is concerned with evey detail of her event. She has and still works with me on an as-needed basis, and I always know when she is on board that everything is covered. Her varied experience has made her a very knowledgeable event professional.

Blakely is a fantastic special events coordinator. Her personality is infectious and brightens our day with each event! When we work large luxury weddings or corporate events at the City Club, we are always excited because we know the details will be handled. Blakely communicates well prior to the event and always has her staff ready to ensure that our events work as planned. If you are looking for someone to plan your wedding or corporate event, then we highly recommend contacting Blakely!
