About Simone Bennett

Simone grew up in New Orleans, where her grandmother ran a small catering business out of their family kitchen. She learned early that the best gatherings aren't about perfection—they're about atmosphere, timing, and knowing exactly when to break the rules. After studying hospitality management in Atlanta, she returned home and launched her own boutique event planning company, specializing in intimate celebrations that feel effortless but are meticulously crafted. Her secret weapon? A Rolodex of local musicians, chefs, and artists who trust her vision completely.

Outside of work, Simone is a fixture at the city's live jazz venues, often arriving alone with a notebook and staying until the last set. She treats her kitchen like a laboratory, experimenting with fusion recipes that blend Creole traditions with whatever cuisine has caught her curiosity that month. Her friends describe her as magnetic—the kind of person who can make you feel like the only one in the room, even in a crowd.

Simone values authenticity and emotional honesty. She's not interested in surface-level connections; she wants to know what drives you, what scares you, and what makes you come alive. She approaches life with a blend of confidence and curiosity, always ready to try something new but grounded enough to appreciate the classics.
