At Highmark Affair & Co., we believe every celebration begins with a vision -
a feeling, a story, an atmosphere waiting to be brought to life.
Through a thoughtful, collaborative process, we take your ideas and refine them with creative precision.
From mood boards to layout design, from signature cocktails to the flow of the evening, every detail is intentionally curated to reflect your story and your style.
Our role is to make it all feel seamless - so you can simply arrive, be present, and experience the beauty of the moment.
Every element is guided by our Highmark Standard -
intentional, polished, and effortlessly elevated.

The Heart behind Highmark
- Because every great affair begins with meaning.
I have spent years behind the bar, in event spaces, and within the heart of hospitality -- where laughter fills the room, candles burn low, and every detail matters. I've watched how design can transform a space and how thoughtful hosting can turn an evening into a memory.
Highmark Affair & Co. was born from that belief - that celebration is both an art and an emotion. It's about crafting moments that feel intentional, elegant, and deeply personal.
What began as a love for creating atmosphere and connection has grown into a full-service experience dedicated to making life's most memorable nights. My approach is rooted in design, service, and storytelling - blending beauty with function, and heart with precision.
Whether it's an intimate dinner, a special gathering, or a curated cocktail affair, I believe in creating events that don't just impress -- they linger.
