Lena Dorsey
Co-Founder & Right-Brain
Hi Guys! I'm Lena & I love planning! I have over 10 years of experience in planning & managing an array of events that have taken me to multiple countries. From grand openings and product launches, to photo shoots and private events… I have you covered!
I am a HUGE chocoholic who has unfortunately passed that on to my two amazing daughters. When I’m not planning, I love traveling to new places and facing my fears whenever I can!

My background in design and accounting makes me the perfect “Left-Brain, Right-Brian” mix, giving me the vital ability to think creatively while organizing the many aspects that come with planning.
​
I love putting together events that get ladies up & out!

Andrea Ward
Director of Sparkle
Hello everyone! I have over 10 years’ experience in management and event planning. I’ve recently started a new career that focuses on event planning and TV/film production on shows such as Chicago PD and America's Got Talent. I have a BA in Communication so now I’m officially qualified to communicate with everyone!
I’m a mother of 3 so organizing and event management comes second nature to me. Event planning has always been my favorite thing to do. I love the whole process of starting with an idea and creating something that surpasses your expectations.
Fun Facts About Me:
-
I’ve traveled to 4 countries: Mexico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Canada and 9 states: St Louis, Atlanta, Florida, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana.
-
I am always the life of the party! When things aren’t moving in the right direction, I find myself taking over.
-
My ultimate goal is to be a super producer like my idol Shonda Rhimes.

Heather Zimmerman
Director of Fun
My name is Heather Zimmerman. I am from Palatine & moved to Chicago a few years ago. I enjoy the busy atmosphere of Chicago and how beautiful it is. In my free time I love to play sports, go on fun runs and I enjoy cooking. I graduated from Benedictine University with a bachelor's in organizational leadership.
I enjoy planning events that bring people together to have a great time. I am very adventurous so I love to plan different events that people normally don't get to go to on a daily basis. I have worked in the restaurant industry as a bartender and server for many years and was ready to take those skills to start planning events for people.

I am a huge Cubs fan, so HUGE that I went to game 7 of the world series in Cleveland!

I took a random day trip to Boston to go out to dinner
