Carolyn was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. Hospitality began brewing deep in those southern roots. Entertaining was always a part of daily life there. Growing up in her family’s home décor business and working in the fashion industry for years her passion for great style, entertaining, food and décor began to take shape as a career. When her daughters were little she was constantly baking her trademark southern desserts. Without a grand plan, she began a catering business, one thing led to another and the business grew into full event planning. Having lived her life equally half in the south and half in New York she considers herself 50% southern and 50% NYC. Carolyn brings a winning combination of southern hospitality and New York style and flair to everything she does!
