Meet the Owner
Hey there! I am the Owner and Lead Event Planner here at MDP! I have a strong passion for all things weddings and events. I grew up in Rhode Island and have now made Sarasota my home! Growing up, I always loved planning, organizing, and detailing events, especially weddings. I found my niche working in Newport, RI many years ago for an event planning company and realized it was my dream career! After over 10 years in the industry and working in the Boston Seaport for four years managing a venue and executing all styles of events prior, it was time to move south!
MDP Events was born in 2020 out of a passion for the industry as well as a drive to bring others joy through events and celebrations! I opened MDP Events in honor of my best friend Margaretta Dundon Potter who shared the same obsession and love for weddings that I do. I want to create the Most Divine Productions in honor of Maggie, but most importantly for each client. I've had the honor to plan countless events and I’ve learned how to make each unique vision come to life, while my clients enjoy the planning journey stress-free!
