If you’re like most people, your summer calendar is probably jam-packed with parties, events, and other fun festivities.
Although party guests just see the finished product, a great deal of hard work goes on behind the scenes to ensure these events happen without a hitch.
For Courtney Lutkus and Brandon Davis of Simply Radiant Events, LLC, it’s all about using what they’ve learned from their 15 years of event planning experience to carefully craft a polished, unforgettable event for every client.
Event Simply Radiant Events offers an array of party planning and design services, from event design to fully executed events across Orange County.
“We take pride in our client’s events and the relationship we create with them,” says Courtney.
“Our inspiration comes from keeping up with trends and what the client aspired their event to be. That can be anything from the logistics, the theme, an immersive experience, or the feel of the event.”
The Orange County area holds a particularly special place in these native Southern Californians’ hearts.
“Planning events is all about creating community. We were raised locally and enjoy planning and designing parties for our community,” she says.
Like most in-demand event planning businesses, the summer season is an especially busy one for this dynamic duo—and they wouldn’t have it any other way.
“This summer, we will be doing lots of teambuilding events, conferences, style shoots, open-house events, art festivals, and fundraisers for nonprofits,” says Courtney.
Courtney and Brandon hope to continue growing their business by extending their reach throughout the community. “The goal of the business is to create long-lasting partnerships and be the go-to planner for events throughout the year.”
While Simply Radiant Events has already accomplished great things, it hasn’t been an easy hill to climb.
“Starting an event planning company in Orange County was tough,” recalls Courtney. “There are many planners in the area, so setting us apart from the crowd took some time. Now that we have been in the industry for so long, we have been able to establish our company with a portfolio of well-known clients.”
Planning a successful event starts with a client consultation. During this initial session, Courtney and Brandon meet with clients to get to know them and assess their vision.
Next, the talented twosome works diligently to compile a list of vendors perfectly suited for the occasion. With a healthy dose of creative thinking, meticulous attention to detail, and prioritizing client satisfaction, the event comes to life.
When Simply Radiant Events says “full service,” they mean it—in addition to party planning, the company’s event design services encompass event logistics, virtual event support, team-building events, styled photoshoots, and corporate events.
Whatever it takes to get the job done, they’re up for the challenge. Another exciting new option offers luxury “Pop Up Picnics” for corporate gatherings, allowing companies to reimagine the way they do a “working lunch.”
In addition to planning every last detail, SRE is passionate about taking all the stress off of a client’s plate so that they can truly soak up the moment. Courtney and Brandon understand that they’re helping to create lifelong memories, and they never want to compromise their clients’ enjoyment.
From booking the perfect venue or creating an event space from scratch to planning a menu full of delectable fare that complements the theme, selecting the best linens and beautiful florals, and set-up and break-down after the event, Simply Radiant Events takes care of it all with professional precision.
When you want to plan a unique, stylish soiree with personalized flair, look no further than Simply Radiant Events to serve as your one-stop-shop for a fabulous affair to remember.
