Our Interns: Meet Cassidy and Nichole!

We can not say more thankful and amazing words about our team of interns! We really would not be the strong unit that we are without their dedication and support on each and every event. We love and appreciate them more then words can describe. I want to formally introduce our longest running interns of 2014!  How fun are they!?

Meet Cassidy:

Born in Australia, raised in Northern California, currently living the dream in San Diego. Cassidy moved here for college and just finished at San Diego State University with her Bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies. Although kids will always have her heart, she has found a special knack for event planning.  Since she was a little girl Cassidy has had a passion for making others peoples day brighter and she loves being able to do that with Before I Do Events. “It is such a privilege to be able to be a part of one of the most memorable and exciting days of a couples life. This internship is all about helping celebrate love and new adventures in people’s lives and there is nothing I enjoy more than that”!

Meet Nichole:

Born in California, raised in Washington state, and now back in California as it was her first love she is currently living in San Diego. Nichole adores her family with all her heart. She loves spending time with her three adorable little nieces Chicka, Nuggie, and fries - they are her little happy meal. Throughout this internship Nichole has found a love and passion for the events industry. She loves the beauty of it all but she has  surprisingly also discovered her love for logistics. She loves solving problems, getting it done, and accomplishing anything thrown her way. Needing to be in 12 places at once, the numerous time crunches throughout the day, Nichole's answer is always... BRING IT ON! She loves seeing the orchestration first hand and loves seeing all the beautiful events come together from start to finish. Nichole really enjoys spending her California days outside the office and away from the desk by attending fun meetings with all our clients as well as taking beautiful venue tours in the sun. She is a wonderful right hand woman and an assistant that can do it all.

Long Overdue: Alicia Strom

This post is LONG over due. I want to formally introduce Alicia my partner at Before I Do. I have been so very fortunate to have known Alicia over the past few years. She first came on our team as an intern and very quickly we fell in love with her work ethic and zest for life. We worked her hard and she kept asking for more, that was when we knew she was a keeper. She quickly grew with the company and even better we grew in our friendship. When Tammi phased out of the wedding side of what we do, I knew in my heart, Alicia was the perfect person to step into the role. I am so blessed to call her my partner. She is the kindest and most authentic person I know.  I can promise that each and every bride/groom that has worked with her would undoubtedly agree with my statement.

Raised in Minnesota, Alicia's found appreciation for the San Diego sunshine and life's exciting adventures is apparent from the moment you meet her. Always inspired by her surroundings, she is quick to pick up on the little details that make each couple and celebration distinct. This ability to exist in the moment combined with an all-around enthusiasm for life, love and beauty makes her a joy to work with. And, as many a bride and groom can testify, she's been known to make a friend - or ten - in the process. Her extreme attention to detail, creative style and poise has become priceless to our events.
