About


I’m a hopeless romantic who wears many glamorous hats from wedding planner to wedding talk show co-host, but I am more than an organized romance-ologist with a flair for stylish DIYs. I am a lover of adventure, local plays, belly dancing, and wine tours with a passion to give back to causes that are near and dear to my heart.

My favorite days begin with a Starbucks white chocolate mocha curled up with a page turning novel or a fun audiobook snuggled next to my furbabies, Magic and Princess. I happily live these days laughing alongside my husband and children, who are my inspiration and the great loves of my life. They usually find me brainstorming unique event ideas with clients or blogging about couples’ love stories with a glass of wine in hand and a giddy smile on my face.

The smile I’ve always had as an excited little girl who loved helping my mom plan those fancy cocktail hours, annual holiday dinners, and my birthday parties, of course. I knew at a very young age that the success of an event lied in the beauty of those well-orchestrated details, very much like the behind-the-scenes workings of a play. As the years flew by, I kept planning for friends and family until I founded The Sweetest Thing Events. Now, with over a decade of event planning and wedding planning experience, I am a social butterfly who fawns over anything girly, gorgeous, and pretty in purple.

I’m not your ordinary wedding planner. I am your go to girl and future lifelong friend who will make sure you find the fun and joy in planning this special day. We learn what’s most important to you and we incorporate the nuances of your history together so we can tie in all those personal touches from beginning to end bringing the beauty of your love story to life. With a passion for storytelling, I can’t help but write all the beautiful details of your engagement and wedding stories to share on my blog. A lifelong keepsake for you and your loved ones as well as my own personal collection of great romances I feel lucky to have witnessed.

Looking forward to meeting you over white chocolate mochas or wine! Happy Planning!

White Glove Service!!!

Clarissa and her team take care of every detail and allow you to relax completely. Once you hire Sweetest Thing, all appointments and communications with all vendors will be arranged by the team. The thoroughness and attention to detail is literally unmatched! From the date of hire, about 1 year prior to the wedding, I spoke with Clarissa at least once weekly. She's so personable and fun, it's like she's your best friend, therapist, and planner rolled up in one. On the day of, a lady in waiting is provided to the bride and her wedding party as well as a gentleman for the men, who are all in constant communication to make sure everything is smooth. There were hiccups at my wedding, but I never knew due to the professionalism of the team. I cannot stress to you enough how invaluable Sweetest Thing was for me, hire them NOW! This is the best money I spent on my wedding!

Nothing Short of Amazing...

Clarissa and her team were awesome. She was very organized, kept my wedding party on task at all times throughout the entire process. She coordinated everything just the way I envisioned it in my head. I've worked with event planners before and I can definitely say that this was by far the best experience I have ever had. On a special day like this, a confident, organized, professional, and friendly wedding planner/coordinator is a must. I can tell that she loves what she is doing and OUR day would not have been the same had it not been for The Sweetest Thing Events!!!
