Yami Hoyos
Owner & Creative Director
"I love to push the boundaries of trends to create unique events that represent my clients, their personalities and their vision. I offer a fresh perspective, excitement and a stress-free experience. My passion is focusing on innovative and unique ideas, perfecting all of the little details and executing memorable events."
Raised in Tampa, Florida - Yami has always been obsessed with soireés. Ask anyone who went to middle school or high school with her and they will tell you that even back then, her parties were memorable and the talk of the town! After attending the University of South Florida for Business Administration, she traveled overseas to Switzerland to study Hotel Management and Hospitality / Tourism Administration at the prestigious Glion Institute of Higher Education - one of the 3 best international hospitality schools in the world.
Upon completing her studies, Yami went on to work for a local downtown Tampa business hotel where she took on several supervisory roles. It was during her last position as the Social Catering Manager that she realized she was servicing countless cookie-cutter events, and decided to go above and beyond her responsibilities to ensure that her clients' visions and needs were brought to fruition.
Yami has executed hundreds of weddings and events and finds that her business and hospitality background gives her the upper hand when dealing with contract negotiations and matching her clients with the best creative partners. Always on the hunt for a bargain, she will ensure that you remain on or below your target budget, while never sacrificing quality or your vision.
