Welcome to Banana Bashes! I am thrilled to introduce you to my boutique event production brand, home grown right here in the South Bay. Banana Bashes is the fruition of my lifelong passion for party planning and is rooted in my childhood. Growing up in Palos Verdes, my parents often entertained and I learned a lot from my mother who had a natural instinct for being the hostess with the mostess !

My creative spirit was nurtured further while working in Hollywood after graduating from college. As a talent & literary agent, and later as a feature film producer I mastered the business of project management. During that time, I also attended dozens of motion picture premiere parties and high-level Industry events. Fusing these two experiences ignited my desire to take my love of entertaining to the next level, and I began pursuing opportunities in my community.

Over the years, I have planned or contributed to all kinds of private parties, fundraising events, and themed luncheons & galas. I specialize in curating locally sourced, unique & personalized details for your event. No matter what level of collaboration you need, I am always seeking out creative ways to maximize your budget.

It is my goal to take away the anxiety of perfecting your special occassion while juggling the distractions of every day life. You truly can’t go wrong when you hire someone who loves what they do as much as I do. I get pure joy out of creating affordable, unforgettable memories for my clients, friends and family.

Cheers xo
