Lorraine was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She graduated Santa Clara University with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing and started her career working for a construction company. It was there that she realized her passion. One of her first tasks on the job was to assist with planning the company’s annual holiday party and instantly she was hooked on planning events. Soon after, her coworker became engaged and enlisted Lorraine’s help in planning her wedding. That’s when Lorraine knew that weddings were exactly what she wanted to do. She quickly made herself available to all of her recently engaged friends and in 2009 became a Certified Wedding Planner through the Wedding Planning Institute. Lorraine’s attention to detail and desire to please others makes her unstoppable in planning the perfect event for every couple.
