Frances is the Founder, Principal Planner and Lead Designer for all of the weddings and events that we do here at Charmed Events Group. With a background in fashion design and event management for large scale events, her skills, creativity and personality is the perfect blend for couples and clients who are modern, trendy and of the moment. She is detail obsessed and has a personal mission statement of making all things beautiful through design. She is an avid traveller and has been all over the world experiencing different cultures and seeing new things to bring back and infuse with life in California. In her spare time, she enjoys baking (a lot!), makes it a mission to eat at every good restaurant or food joint that has been shared by the media or friends, never has too many crafting projects that come to mind that must be tried, and loves to curl up in bed reading books underneath a huge comforter, pillows piled high and a side of chocolate.
