The Heart

A few years ago, I to started a boutique social event planning company called Rise Events, and through it, I planned and saw the most beautiful celebrations come to life while not to mention, working alongside some of the most wonderful hosts.

There is something so intentional and special about the way an event begins long before it ever happens. It lives in our minds for months, shaped by inspiration, meaningful details, and the desire to create something beautiful for the people we love. And oh, what joy it brought me to watch people come together and celebrate around those details.

The planning process gave me a front-row seat to the goodness of community,

the joy of gathering, and the magic that thoughtfully planned events can truly bring to the table, but also the real complexity that can come with planning.


Fast forward a few years later, and I found myself planning many of the same themed events, just with new faces and new stories to celebrate. Along the way, I began noticing the gap between the inspiration photos people would dream about and send over and the practicality of actually finding all the pieces and elements needed to bring those ideas to life.


And that is where Simply Hosted Co. first came to mind.


After spending the last several years sourcing countless event details, both big and small, I realized I had the ability to simplify the process for others and help turn their inspiration photos into beautifully executed celebrations.


Simply Hosted Co. was created to bring elevated entertaining to you through thoughtfully designed event guides, event goods, and event planning services all centered around simple socials, handcrafted hosting, and curated celebrations.


So here’s to gathering well, celebrating often, and making event planning a whole lot more simple and fun along the way.

With love & gratitude,
