Whether you're dreaming of an intimate gathering or a large-scale festival, I'm here to guide you through the process, ensuring your event not only meets but exceeds expectations.

Fast forward to serving on the Host Committee for World Cup Soccer in Orlando in 1994, and boom – my career in events took off. Since then, I've been fortunate enough to create some seriously cool "firsts" and build world-class projects from the ground up.

Growing up as a politician's kid and the daughter of a minor league baseball team owner, I was destined for the world of events. From shaking hands going door-to-door to attending community cookouts and campaign parties, connecting people was my normal before I even hit high school.

Inspired by the enthusiastic interest from a few of Charleston's top chefs and restauranteurs, Angel assembled a team of the city's culinary elite to craft and oversee what has evolved into one of the nation's most celebrated food and wine festivals.

Recognizing a void in the national and international spotlight for artisanal beverages, Angel founded BevCon, a conference that quickly gained a reputation as one of the industry's most celebrated events. To this day, professionals eagerly anticipate its return, a testament to its enduring popularity.

The coolest, most challenging, and once-in-a-lifetime event Angel ever created and produced took place at Ft. Sumter National Monument. The dinner, which hosted 80 guests and featured James Beard award-winning chefs, required everything and everyone to be brought in by boat, with limited power and amenities available. It was an incredible experience. However, after its conclusion, the National Park Service made the decision to not allow similar events to happen again due to the overwhelming influx of requests they received after word spread about it.
