About Harlene
Harlene is the Founder, Principal Planner and Lead Designer for all of the weddings and events produced by Harlene Events. With 10+ years of experience in the Event industry, which first developed in Food and Beverage followed by a background in Hotel and Hospitality, her skillset and resources alone make her a facet of a planner. Now, add-on an eye for design and a great taste for fashion, that is what truly makes her unique.
Among our clients and partners of the industry, she is known for her calm and patient demeanor with a relentless sense of perfectionism in every dimension of planning. As a designer, she's known for her modern, elevated and elegantly understated aesthetic with clean lines complimented with bold florals and wild botanicals.
Aside from the many roles she plays, she prioritizes the most important one and that is being a mother first to her twin girls who she adores with her loving husband. When she is not playing the role of a mother, wife, business owner, etc. she thrives for adventure and spontaneity, concerts/live shows, great food, artisanal cocktails; and lastly her love for modern interior design.
About Brittany
Brittany is our Lead Planner and Production Assistant with Harlene Events. She currently resides in sunny San Jose, Northern California with her soon-to-be husband, Steven and their three rescue pups. After a long career in education she had decided to take a chance and explore her passion in Event Production and Design.
Her passion for event planning began at a young age. She grew up in Connecticut surrounded by an army of strong women who showed their love through cooking, baking, and of course throwing great parties! It was natural that as her grandmother, mother and aunts were all fantastic hosts, she would be too!
Brittany adores our clients and helping them turn their vision into a reality is the greatest joy of her life! She counts herself to be extremely lucky to have a career doing what she loves and spreading love all over the country. Brittany lives for a perfect tablescape, the fluff of a train, picking an invisible bit of lint off a freshly pressed tux, and an immaculate spreadsheet. As a highly organized, communicative and focused individual, it fills her with such joy and gratitude to create extraordinary moments and memories that will last a lifetime.
