This has been a long time coming in ways I didn’t fully realize until I started putting it all together. Looking back, I feel like I’ve always been “the planner”—from having guests sign in at my family’s home, to setting up little shops selling my pottery at birthday parties, to organizing water wars and scavenger hunts in high school.

And then after college, it naturally turned into planning real events—my own wedding, friends’ weddings, bachelorette parties, baby showers, game nights, and everything in between. Somewhere along the way, I realized this wasn’t just something I enjoyed… it’s something I’m really passionate about doing well.

When it comes down to it, I’m someone who just wants people to be able to show up and enjoy their time together. Because at the end of the day, people don’t remember every single detail—but they do remember how it felt, who they were with, and if things ran smoothly.

That’s where I come in 🙂

The Shelby Standard is all about creating events that feel intentional, seamless, and true to you—whether that’s a black tie wedding or a backyard party with a pool and a cooler full of drinks.

From planning and logistics, to rentals, to custom pieces (some fun things coming here 👀), I wanted to create something that brings everything together in one place.
