Owner, Barbie Pressly Tilman, was born and raised in Palm Beach, Florida. Her love of style and details inspired her to obtain a B.S. in Special Events and Meeting Planning at the University of Florida. After graduation, Barbie worked in fundraising and event planning for the American Heart Association followed by a career in the pharmaceutical sales industry. She realized her true calling in 2008 when she started planning her own wedding in Kennebunkport, Maine. Wedding Consulting is the perfect career for this social bumblebee's passion for design, people and parties. Barbie has stellar relationships with a network of the most talented vendors in the event planning industry and loves to design and orchestrate events in the three cities that her heart belongs to... Palm Beach, where she was raised, Kennebunkport, where she has a summer residence, and the Tampa area, where she now calls home.
