DESIGN + WEDDING MASTERMIND, SASHA SOUZA

 

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sasha Souza was raised by a flower-child mom who encouraged her daughter's flair for the dramatic. Cultivating a background in the theater arts, Sasha emerged as a businesswoman with a gift for theatrical styling and, after helping numerous friends and family members plan their weddings, she opened her first event design firm called The Whole Shebang!. Today she is an event scholar, designing events and weddings the same way a Broadway producer approaches a play - she makes sure that the stars shine and the audience/guests always go home wanting more.
She was also a featured event planner on the Style Network TV show "Whose Wedding is it Anyway???" Sasha and her work are also frequently featured on television programming including CBS "Early Show", ABC's "Primetime" wedding series special, "Inside Edition", "Eye on LA", and "In Wine Country", among other shows.
Sasha Souza was also a featured celebrity speaker at the Conde Nast Bridal Group's Wedding March series, part of the March on Madison series, as well as a regular speaker at The Special Event Show Conferences and is an active keynote speaker for events across the country.
Sasha Souza was honored by Modern Bride Magazine as one of the Top 25 Trendsetters in the wedding industry...the only planner in the San Francisco Bay Area to ever receive the honor. Sasha Souza is a Master Bridal Consultant: a distinguished member of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) and a member of International Special Event Society (ISES).
Sasha published her first book in 2010, Signature Sasha: Magnificent Weddings by Design available at Barnes & Noble, from signaturesasha.com and other fine book sellers.
