Welcome to

Where Dreams Come True.

It’s hard to believe I started in hospitality fifteen years ago as the owner of a small event and catering company, Innovative Events. This led to nine years planning weddings and events at Snoqualmie Ridge Golf Club. I then spent three additional years managing private, corporate and social events at Columbia Tower Club. I found the greatest reward in learning your dream, capturing that vision, guiding you through critical decisions and taking the reins on your day so you can celebrate knowing every detail would be painstakingly executed. I launched Nelliena Events with the intent of putting together the perfect team that would work by my side to support my vision.

The pleasure of seeing two of my children down the aisle was a game changer for me. I experienced firsthand the importance of my role. A responsibility not only to the couple but also to the joining of families, the blending of different ethnic and religious cultures shifted my perspective. It redefined who I was as a planner. With children intermarried to Samoa, Fiji, Hawaii and Jamaica I look forward to taking families beyond border and share what all the islands have to offer with destination weddings and events.

The most valuable thing we have in life are the moments we share and the memories we make. Allow me the pleasure to Custom Design Your Lifetime Memories.
