Shauna

Born and raised in Denver, Shauna is a true Colorado native. She attended college in Savannah, Georgia earning a degree in Mass Communications. Although she has worked in the non-profit and finance industries, the majority of her professional career has been spent in hospitality.

Staying cool in stressful situations comes second nature to Shauna, and her detailed, organized nature and dedication to customer service is evident to everyone she works with!

She currently lives in Aurora with her dog Forrest. In her free time she loves to go to the park with her dog, decompress at the gym and spend time with friends.

Mandy

Mandy grew up in Pittsburgh PA, attended high school and college in different parts of Michigan, then made her way to Atlanta for her post-college years before finally landing in Colorado in 2014. She lives in Arvada but spends a lot of time with her family in Evergreen (her “happy place”).

Mandy graduated from The University of Michigan with a degree in Business Marketing and Corporate Communications. She has worked in several industries including tech, automobile, and insurance, excelling in (and loving) corporate events. For many years, she kept a second job as a bartender because she thrives in the highly energized, people-oriented environment of the service industry. Combining her passion for events and the service industry, it was a natural migration to team up with Jordan and Harper Bond Events! 

With her aptitude towards keen decision-making and adapting to fast-paced change, coupled with borderline OCD organizational skills and the ability to find calm in chaos and roll with the punches, you can feel confident to leave your event in Mandy’s hands.

Haley

Haley’s love for creating experiences for others began long before joining HBE. Gathering her friends and family has always been a core value and motivator in her life. Born and raised in Golden, Haley landed her first internship with a wedding planner in Denver in high school and she’s been hooked ever since! She attended Clemson University as a collegiate athlete and played soccer for Clemson’s Women’s Soccer Team while she earned her degree in Business Management with a minor in Hospitality.

Her college internship with the US Play Coalition involved her with Clemson Event Planner’s Association where she had a hand in orchestrating campus career fairs, student galas and auctions, and eventually weddings! She then began marketing herself to anyone who needed a wedding coordinator throughout her network and soon enough she had organically created a small clientele. This segued her into the hotel industry once she graduated and after spending a few years in corporate and special events as a Sales and Event Coordinator for Marriott and Hotel Hartness in Greenville, SC, she decided to make the cross country move and pick up her passion back in her home state.

In her spare time she loves to read, listen to live music, and of course enjoy the Colorado outdoors! She also has gone on to play three seasons of semi-professional soccer and continues to make this sport a huge part of her life today. Event planning is her creative outlet and contagious source of energy. Combined with her athletic background, her work ethic and attention to detail shine through in her humble approach to working with clients and executing events. Now that she’s back home in Colorado, she can’t wait to be a part of your day with HBE!

Jessica

Jessica is originally from all up and down the East Coast. She was born in Florida, grew up in Northern Virginia, and graduated from Cornell University in Upstate New York. She moved to Colorado with her future husband in July 2017 without ever having set foot in the state and hasn't regretted it for a single second.

Though her degree is actually from Cornell's College of Engineering, Jessica has always had a passion for customer service, organization, and event planning. While at Cornell, she took on roles in organizations such as the Information Science Student Association and Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity that allowed her to successfully plan and execute member events. She also worked part time at the front desk of the Financial Aid Office and as a manager of a Regal Entertainment Group theater.

After a few years of working as a corporate software engineer, Jessica decided to make a career change, so that she could more directly work with people and impact others' lives. Since making this change, she has planned and coordinated many virtual events within the pet industry.

In February 2019, Jessica was first introduced to Jordan and the Harper Bond Events team while planning her own wedding. Of course, she had to bring the team in as part of her big day! Throughout her own wedding planning experience, she knew this couldn't be a one time thing and is excited to continue planning all the best days ever. In addition to being organized and prepared, Jessica is detail oriented and loves helping couples incorporate creative and meaningful details into their big day.

Jessica lives in Thornton with her husband, Struan, and her two rescue dogs, Ralph & Luna. She loves crafting, llamas, all things Disney, and seeing couples and their guests smile on their big day.

Meghan

Meghan is originally from Denver, but grew up moving quite often due to the Army brat lifestyle. She eventually made it back to beautiful Colorado to finish up high school and attend Colorado State University. She received her degree in Hospitality Management and Business Administration. In 2010, she moved back to the Denver area and began her career in the hotel industry where she eventually found her passion for planning events! She had the pleasure of planning hundreds of events that ranged from charity galas, corporate conferences and even some professional sporting teams.

After 7 years in the hotel industry, she decided to leave her job to stay home to grow her family and be there for her children. Although she has loved being home with her two sons, she has truly missed planning events so that led her to her old friend (and owner of HBE), Jordan, to begin coordinating weddings and events with her and the fabulous team she has put together. Her great attention to detail, organizational skills, customer service skills and ability to stay calm in chaos makes her a great addition to the HBE team and person to help coordinate your perfect day!

Meghan currently lives in Thornton with her husband, Bryan, and her two sons, Weston and Syler. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her kids, cuddling her Goldendoodle, reading books, attending concerts and sporting events, and camping every chance she gets!
