Two Gals Event Planning was created in 2007 when we recognized the need for unique, exciting and fun-filled events that would

benefit all aspects of the community.  We provide total, hands-on service event planning for corporate, individual, and charity events.

Two Gals Events can add originality and a twist of excitement to your established event or help you create a totally new venue that will have your guests saying

Like my partner Melissa, I too had a mother who loved planning parties (especially surprise parties) turning our home into a French restaurant, to a Wild West Cancan Revue.  So it seemed just natural when I had the opportunity to plan corporate events and fundraisers while working for a non-profit Cancer Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina from 1992-2000.  In 1993, I also joined the local Harley Owners Group and started up their first fundraiser - a motorcycle run that had 100 riders and over the years grew to 1000 riders attending statewide.

After moving to Arizona in 2002, I found myself involved with various foundations looking to raise funds for their causes with little success or they just didn't have the know-how to get started, so when my best friend, Melissa, asked if I would be interested in starting up a business, I jumped in.

With our compassion to help those in all aspects of need, our creativity and imagination I truly believe we have formed a great team and network to put together the best events in town.

When I was younger, my mother always had events to attend or host.  I think she is the one that taught me how to plan for an event or throw a party together.  She always had a slice of class, a piece of deliciousness and a glass full of excitement put into her events.

I have also been involved with non-profits for over 10 years now and the one I currently work for had a need for some new events reaching different people and different parts of the valley.

So, I created 2 new events for them, a motorcycle ride and a golf tournament.  They turned out to be huge successes and we will now be hosting our 3rd Annual golf Tournament and in 2010 our 3rd Annual Motorcycle Run.  With the economy the way it is I saw a lot of non-profits struggling as if they weren't already, so I asked one of my best friends, Dawn Kackley, if she was interested in starting a business in event planning and promotions with me and see what would happen and where it would go.  She said yes!!  So that's what we did.  We opened our account, worked on building a website, started a blog (still trying to get into the technical age) asked a few family members and friends for help and we were off!  We started small - having family and friends work for us and help at events (we still use them sometimes).

I have a great time meeting a client and listening to their desire for an event or fundraiser, their "dream event" as they call it.  It's great to see people smile and know that they are having a good time and know that we helped them have a great time while raising money for their cause.  So now here we are, Dawn and I, planning events with our own slice of class, our own piece of deliciousness and our own glasses full of excitement - ready to plan and promote your event.

In keeping in step with my fellow event planners, I too come from a home where entertaining family and friends was an integral part of growing up.  Both of my parents are wonderful party planners.  From our weekly Sunday dinners, every holiday, neighborhood bbq's and charity community functions I would watch in awe and adoration as they put together the perfect party trays, the best looking decorations, and the tastiest food and beverages for guests.  I loved being a part of setting the stage for whatever event was to follow.   I brought that love of entertaining into my adult life much to the love of my dinner party guests. 

Working as a part of Two Gals Event Planning is exciting.  My creative side has a place to flourish! The people I have met and the events that have come into my life because of this wonderful organization are inspiring and I am happy to be a part of the team!
