Coming from a large and uniquely built family (the nice way of putting it), creating new ways to gather has become second nature to the owner of P.S. & Associates Event Planning. Chabeli Sanchez brings an unparalleled blend of experience, education and personality to each and every event. She received her Communications degree from California State University, Los Angeles where she served as the Event Planner for the Lambda Pi Eta Honor Society. Her 10 years of experience in the restaurant business have laid the foundation for her passion in providing superb customer service.
Chabeli promised herself she would always follow the passion for her work, not just a pay check.

P.S. & Associates is not only her career but her life.
When Chabeli has a little free time you can find with her boyfriend riding her bike, traveling, snuggling with her adorable bull terrier or searching for the next craft brewery.

Style: Country Girl Meets City Girl with a Hint of Hippy
Fav. Color: Grey
Fav. Drink: Vodka Martini with Olives
Fav: Quote: “It is our choices, Harry, that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” – Albus Dumbledore
BIO:
It’s all about the love to this small-town girl. A hopeless romantic and big believer in happily-ever-after, Juliana takes great joy in learning peoples’ love stories and seeing them through to their big day. Yet another service industry veteran (servers of a feather flock together!) she knows the importance and strength in genuinely connecting with people, attention to detail, and excellent listening skills – she will never stop hustling to make dreams come true.
A creative spirit and adventurer at heart, Juliana worked for years at a desk running restaurant marketing and social media where she learned to balance discipline, structure, and imagination – she now applies those skills to every project she is privileged to be involved in. Her work as a writer, rookie photographer, and independent contractor now allows her to work hard at her passions, travel, and spend maximum time exploring all the food with her handsome husband and hiking through nature with her dog/best friend, Wizard. The goal is to never stop learning, beam positivity into everything she does, and to create and document joy and beauty in as many ways as possible.
Sheena Sheehy
Coordination + Event Production
Hometown: Santa Clarita, CA
Sign: Taurus
Style: Minimalistic, Bohemian and Sporty with a feminine flare
Fav. Color: Turquoise
Fav. Drink: Matcha Green Tea Latté
Fav: Quote: “Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.” --Buddha
BIO:
After performing lackluster in traditional art classes such as drawing and painting, as well as backing out of her initial choice to study interior design in college, Sheena has finally settled into a career that is driven by her desire to help others and fueled by her passion for creativity.
A 5-year background in retail Visual Merchandising has evolved into life as a Professional Organizer. During the day, she is busy helping others de-clutter their homes and their lives. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Recreation, Tourism and Hospitality Management, she holds herself to the highest standards of customer service and she is consistently motivated to make sure her clients are happy.
Sheena’s organizational skills, effective time management and ability to multitask create a strong backbone for superb event coordination. She truly cares about all her clients and loves what she does, which shines through with her positivity and dedication. Her background in fashion, her stylish touch and (some would say) OCD tendencies help to ensure that our Bride’s visions are executed with unforgiving levels of attention to detail.
Outside of work, she loves to spend her free time focusing on health and fitness. You can most often find her lifting weights, doing yoga and cooking healthy meals and desserts. She also likes to read, spend time in nature, dance and have wine and Netflix nights with her roommate and her boyfriend. She is thankful for her loving family and her cat!
