Meet Dr. Princess Russell
Founder/CEO
One question I am frequently asked by my clients is, "How did you get into event planning?" The answer is simple; I am known for my creativity, stunning taste, and amazing eye for details, and I am consistently on the lookout for a flawless and beautifully executed party full of details and good times.
​
I am a firm believer that my clients should concentrate on one thing: having FUN! You should be relaxed and enjoy your guests. Let us worry about where the forks should be placed or when the cake needs to be cut. Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, a 30th birthday celebration, or a destination girls trip, your event should be filled with memorable experiences and a true reflection of who you are as the host.
​
After retiring from the military after more than 22 years of service, I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, knowing I would launch a business but not knowing what it would be. After being asked for event planning advice and interior design tips constantly, it hit me that event planning is my destiny! Because event planning comes easy to me, why not help others in creating stylish and one-of-a-kind events? I started a very successful real estate business, serving multi-millionaire and celebrity clients, and now I spend my days achieving my own and others' dreams.
I take my time to ensure that each event is a true replication of my client's vision. I tend to gather ideas from casual conversations with my team or while looking for homes for my real estate clients. I enjoy working with a diverse client roster, which includes celebrities, socialites, executives, corporate clients, and entertainers, and I often end up embracing them into my life as lifetime friends!
