Founder & Principal Planner | MUSE Events & Design

Behind MUSE Events & Design is Stef, a planner at heart with a career rooted in hospitality and a genuine love for bringing people together.

Her story began behind the bar, where she discovered that great hospitality is about so much more than good service. That foundation led her into catering sales, venue management, and corporate event planning, where she developed an understanding of everything that happens behind the scenes to make an experience feel effortless.

In 2008, she planned her first wedding and fell head over heels for the creative process. Since then, her work has grown to encompass corporate gatherings, luxury weddings, and celebrations of all kinds, each one bringing together her eye for design, years of hospitality expertise, and an appreciation for the details that make an event distinctly and uniquely personal.

Now based in North Carolina, with established roots in San Diego, Stef brings the same thoughtful, hands-on approach to every occasion. Whether she's coordinating a company celebration or cueing a couple's grand entrance, her favorite part is knowing her clients can be fully present while she takes care of everything happening behind the scenes.

Outside of events, you'll likely find her on a mountaintop, sharing a small glass of Malbec, or surrounded by family and friends. A lover of good company and meaningful connections, she's never been one to turn down a reason to gather.
