Whats your name? 

Jacin Fitzgerald

How old are you? 

30 (yikes)

Where can we find you online?

 blog | facebook | twitter | pinterest

Where did you attend school?

University of Rhode Island

Have you always known you wanted to be an events planner/business owner? 

Yes – always.

How did you come up with your business name? 

I kept talking about all the details details details that I loved, and found myself saying my company name over and over until I realized my company name was with me all along. 

Since you've traveled so much, where is the best place you've traveled? 

Australia is my favorite place on earth, hands down. Next up – Nantucket or anywhere on a beach in New England.

Where are you most inspired? 

Does Pinterest count? ;)  

Actually I love to go on walks through my neighborhood 

and through the farmers market, picking up ideas from things I see on the way.

What other events planners do you admire? 

I like wedding and event planners who are humble and inspirational at the same time. Colin Cowie, Mindy Weiss – the originators of the event planning trade. Those are the ones who paved the road so many others are traveling on now. 

What's the best advice you've received about living your dreams? 

Toss fear of failure out the window – it will only hold you back.

What gets you motivated in the morning? 

The drive inside me to get things done, and knock things off my to-do list :)

What about the mason jars? 

While many believe mason jars to be an aging trend, my love for masons stems beyond the wedding world and what's "in" at the moment. My late grandmother taught me to can jams and pickles at a young age and had a huge cupboard in her basement where she kept all of her canned goods. Everytime we went to her house, we'd leave with a new jar of something. The mason jar reminds me of her – she was the strongest and most amazing woman you'd ever meet.

What's your fav. part about weddings?

Details. Sorry, not the ceremony. I'm more of a design/décor enthusiast. Isn't that horrible?

What's you fav. thing to do when you are not working? 

Turning off the computer/phone and enjoying real life outside social media. Exploring California with my husband. Wine tasting. Sitting on the beach.

Where can we find when you are not at an event? 

Exploring California with my husband. Wine tasting. Sitting on the beach. :)

What's your next project? 

I just started a wedding planning/crafting series called Save the Date, and those will be going on through the winter months and in to next year here in San Francisco during the "off season" of weddings :)

Do you like pancakes? 

Yes! Love.

What would you do on a longlazysunday? 

My husband is the breakfast maker around here, he makes a mean bacon egg and cheese sandwich. But since you mentioned pancakes I know he loves when I make pancakes so maybe I'd whip out the griddle and get some chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes going, and mimosas, of course.

Why did you decide to start your other blog (for moms and babies)?

 I had a bit of baby fever (that came and went quickly haha) and figured my readers, if they were planning a wedding, wouldn’t really need to read my blog for long after their big day, so I wanted to try another vantage point of baby fever.

What's the biggest and best event you've planned?

The biggest event I've participated in planning was when I worked for the Newport Yachting Center and we pulled together the festivals such as Oktoberfest, etc. which yielded over 30,000 people per day! 

The best? I'd say the For Japan With Love event we pulled together this past April to raise over $5,000 for Japan relief efforts. That was awesome. 

What's the dream event you would want to plan?

Hmmm…. That's a hard one. I'd say one with a dream team of vendors – imagine working alongside Jose Villa or Elizabeth Messina with some gorgeous florals and an unlimited budget for a bride to do whatever she wanted? Now that would be a dream :).

What advice do you have for someone that wants to live their dreams? 

You only live once – life is way too short. Why wait until tomorrow? 
It sounds so cliché but it is so true. Just do it! Go for it!
