Jarica’s passion for weddings and event planning began at an early age watching her mother design floral arrangements and coordinate weddings. For over 20 years, she has been heavily involved in event planning, working behind the scenes for various event venues across Atlanta. She is the founder & creator of Luxe Studio Events, which focuses primarily on wedding planning, design, and event coordination.
