2001-2020: Julie worked as an in-house florist and event planner for Koi Restaurant Group for 20 years, designing floral arrangements for this international company. As an entrepreneur, she started her business in Beverly Hills by pitching a weekly floral service to local offices. Within two days, she gained 11 accounts, and then grew her business by switching companys using fresh florals to primarily using orchids instead.

She marketed large orchid designs to upscale restaurants featured in Zagat Magazine, beginning with the IDG Restaurant Group (Sushi Roku, Katana, Boa) and Koi Restaurant Group. In her first year with IDG, she saved the company over $10,000, reducing floral costs significantly from $720 to $300 a month. Before her service, The Empty Vase was their florist. Julie has also collaborated with many Los Angeles restaurants and hotels for floral and interior design, as well as décor for private events, including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, and major events like the Oscars and Golden Globes.

Multiple Feature Stories

2019 Received Couples Choice Award voted by Couples on Wedding Wire.

2021 | 2023 | 2024 Voted Best Wedding and Event Coordinator in Oxnard by Oxnard Quality Business Services.

Having moved several times, I have gained unique insights about venues across Southern California that many coordinators lack. I spent ten years in West Hollywood, where large events were common, then moved to Thousand Oaks, focusing on weddings, and later to Santa Barbara, Camarillo, Oxnard, and Ventura before settling in Port Hueneme. I have coordinated and styled weddings and receptions throughout Southern California, from Santa Barbara County to Orange County. After taking a couple of years off due to the challenges presented by Covid-19, I am dedicated to providing each couple with the best experience possible and want to be at my best for them.
