AT COCONUT GROVE EVENTS
OUR PHILOSOPHY
I was born in Trinidad, then moved to Toronto Canada where I pursued my education in the hospitality industry. But way before that; I fell in love with entertaining.
I once worked for Miami Dade County’s Deering Estate as their Special Events Director. I have a real passion for what I do. So much so that I left to start my own company, Coconut Grove Events!
I am a wife and mother of two great kids and I get extensive assistance from my husband Rudy with my business. In my spare time, when I am not designing or planning an event, I enjoy gardening and traveling. My extensive travel through Europe and the Caribbean allows me to add some cultural flare to each event.
