Dazzling with Dedication to Details!

Mollie Downs hails from Southern California and has had a passion for organizing events for over a decade. While she began her career in the internet marketing field, she has spent the past couple of years planning events in the nonprofit industry. She loves event design (she’s always getting roped into planning her friends’ weddings) and has a particular soft spot for all things vintage—as evidenced by her collection of over 50 vintage goblets. When Mollie isn’t planning events, you’ll most likely find her sipping on bougie coffee and spending time with her two “treasures,” Bailee and Beckett.
