Head Event Stylist/Director

Lorena is a certified wedding planner and event stylist whose love for planning events and most beautifully and importantly - your wedding day, started at an early age. She started putting together and helping in the organizational process of many of her friend´s birthday parties. Her friends, friend´s parents and her own family were very impressed by her attention to detail, visual eye and organizational skills to bring everything together flawlessly.

She carried that through her early adult life by planning events for different occasions as well as coordinating and planning weddings for her friends that began tying the knot.

While she studied at Florida International University obtaining a degree in Communications, she also worked at the local FOX affiliate and then at the CBS affiliate, both in the news departments. Her role at CBS was as assignment editor, bringing news stories together and coordinating the information from officers to reporters and from reporters to producers who then executed a well-delivered news program. Her zest for this excitement and need to follow-through from start to finish led her to really feel that she needed to branch off and go back to her original love - planning events.

With much inspiration, time and amazing love from her hubby - she began her own event firm which ties in perfectly to their family owned event décor business, Contempo Linen & Event Rentals where she manages key vendor relationships and designs custom, fashion-inspired table linens for their upscale clientele.

Head Event Stylist/Director

Dani is a Miami native, born and raised, and has always been driven by the arts and design. Even when he was in school, he would involve himself with the arts, winning several prestigious awards and also being show chased at the local Dade County Youth Fair. In high school, his art teacher, whom Dani remembers fondly and much appreciates, always knew what he was ultimately cut-out for and pushed him to work with his creative genius and to refine his artistic side. As a young adult, he was blessed with the opportunity to work for the largest, world-renown and high-end lighting company - Fine Art Lamps located in Miami Lakes, Florida. He worked with them for seven years, quickly climbing his way to the top by leading his department with budget-savvy ways, eye for design and space management. At the age of 23, he was Senior Visual Merchandiser for Fine Art Lamps, traveling to far-off, exotic locations around the world and the US, leading the installations of their visual displays, as well as helping create new ones that would be used as templates for worldwide use. At the age of 25, he crossed over to the exciting world of event styling and production, when he helped head the production of the first ever fashion show to hit the lighting and furniture world. From that moment, in a showroom in High Point, North Carolina, amidst the bright lights and pounding music, Dani knew that is where he needed to be and where his heart lied… For the last 6 years, Dani has been creating, styling and producing events - from weddings to fashion shows – the passion evolves in his work.
