About Me

 

Welcome!

Akwaaba!

Bienvenue!

In Feb of 2019, I attended a wedding conference for vendors and venues in San Francisco. During a session, I had an “ah ha” moment. One of the speakers said “you must keep in mind that your couples have never done this before”. In my head I said, OMG this is SOOOO true! In most cases, people have never planned a wedding before and don’t know where to start. So I decided to start a blog to help folks manage the daunting task also known as wedding planning.

So who am I and why should you read my blog?

Ever heard of the movie 27 dresses? Yeaaa, that’s me! I was in my first wedding at the age of 2 (OG flower girl) and can’t tell you how many times I’ve been a bridesmaid.

My name is Portia Amofa and I currently reside in San Francisco, but I was born and raised in Los Angeles. My parents immigrated to the United States from Ghana, so Ghana is where my heart is. I attended Boston University and received my Bachelors in Hospitality and International Relations. I also earned my MBA with a concentration in Marketing at Abilene Christian University.

Professionally, I am a catering sales manager at a hotel. I also plan and coordinate weddings with my awesome roommate (check us out on instagram @eventsbyev). Prior to working with my roomie, I planned weddings with my mom for quite a while.

WARNING: It’s your day…live your best life, but here are my tips, tricks and best practices to help make the process a little smoother.

So KEEP CALM and let’s take it one step at a time! 🙂

Toodles for now, SugarBees! <3
