About Virgo Event Planning
The Origin of Virgo Event Planning
Virgo Event Planning emerged from the shared enthusiasm of two sisters with a love for decorating. Regardless of the occasion, they always discovered a reason to celebrate and transform their environment into something enchanting. One sister preferred a structured aesthetic, relishing muted tones, layering, and intricate details. The other thrived on vibrant colors and bold accents, often incorporating at least one delightfully mismatched piece, embodying a “less is more” philosophy. Their contrasting styles, reminiscent of night and day, captivated their guests who frequently sought their help for their celebrations. After receiving numerous requests for assistance, Virgo Event Planning was born.
Embracing Individuality
At the core of Virgo Event Planning lies a celebration of individuality. We cherish the unconventional and avoid following trends merely for the sake of it. We forge our own path and enjoy the journey. We believe that events are deeply personal, and our services embody that belief. By intentionally limiting the number of events we take on, we ensure that our clients never feel like just another number; we also avoid cookie-cutter planning experiences, as every client deserves their special moment. Marissa acts as the Lead Planner, while Leah contributes her creative flair as the talented Designer. Completing the design trio is the remarkable Dolores, who dazzles with her floral design expertise. From our Virgo family to yours, we warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the fabulous and unique.
