I didn’t fall in love with planning—I fell in love with directing the moment. The mood, the lighting, the flow… the way a space can feel like it’s holding you. I’m not the one making centerpieces or tying bows—I’m the one making sure the lighting’s low, the signature cocktail tastes exactly like her, and that the toast lands at the perfect moment. I live for those little shifts—the ones you don’t always notice, but definitely feel. The Social Standard was born from that obsession—with precision, with presence, with crafting events that hit deeper than pretty. Because it’s not about doing the most—it’s about doing it right.
