Jenna Gruttadauria
"Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery,
and today is a gift...
that's why they call it the present
"
With years of experience in some of New York's most renowned restaurants, events are second nature to Jenna. Harnessing her entrepreneurial spirit, she pivoted from the restaurant industry to the world of fashion where she grew a successful women's e-commerce and brick & mortar boutique blocks from the beach in Los Angeles.
Some of her favorite events were intimate wine dinners, where she brought a deep knowledge and passion for wine to share with others.
Her heart beats from travel and her favorite destination is the lavender dotted hills of Provence in the south of France.

Morgan Hicks
"It's embarrassingly plain how inadequate language is. " - Anthony Doerr - All the Light We Cannot See
From a young age, Morgan always found herself in one creative endeavor or another, whether it be drawing place cards for a family dinner or staying up late at night to finish the layout design of the high school newspaper. Her obsession with making the things around her look organized and beautiful (with the right font, of course) has never stopped growing.
She moved to NYC in 2011 and began her position as Director of Communications at a private arts club. While there, she handled all in-house graphic design and marketing projects, and had the privilege of working closely with Director of Events, Rachelle Doreen for five years.
Now back in Northern California, Morgan has continued to pursue her love of design and all things creative. When not designing, she is teaching dance, playing with her son, or sipping wine at one of her favorite wineries.
