October at the historic Inn At Hastings Park - Relais & Châteaux in Lexington.

Beautiful surroundings, all the fall feels, and a room full of incredibly talented event vendors who have become so much more than industry friends..

There’s something special about being surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do, celebrate each other’s wins and share ideas. Feeling extra lucky to do what I do alongside this crew. 🖤

CANNOLIS. COOKIE & MILK SHOOTERS. CANDY. LATE-NIGHT CRAVINGS.

Because sometimes your guests need a little sugar rush to keep the party going. 😉

At Merla, we don’t just bring the desserts. We read the room.

Warm cookies and milk? Cannoli’s? Roaming hot cocoa? A little candy to fuel the dance floor? We customize the experience to your crowd, your vibe, and the moment.

And if there’s no room for another table? NO PROBLEM. We bring the treats to your guests.

And here’s a little detail that matters more than you might think… 👀 After seeing a thing or two in the event world, I appreciate the little things that make a BIG difference. Our roaming hawker cart can close completely, keeping treats covered and protected when they’re not being served. Because sanitation matters just as much as presentation. Beautiful desserts, thoughtfully protected.

From cocktail hour to the final song, we make sure the sweet moments keep coming.

✨ You bring the people. We’ll bring the experience.

There was a vision. There was $30k. And there was… whatever the hell this was. 😂

When I bought a 1975 Italian Piaggio Apé, it looked nothing like the luxury experience you see today. It was torn apart, covered in questionable paint, and required a whole lot of imagination to see what it could become.

But I could see it.

Bootstrapping a luxury brand means making big investments before you know exactly where they’ll take you. It means trusting your gut, taking risks, and sometimes wondering if you’ve completely lost your mind.

Today, Birdie is one of the pieces that helped transform my cookie business into Merla — a company built around creating unforgettable experiences.

The lesson? Bet on yourself. Even when the vision looks a little… yellow. 😂🥂

Some moments are even more beautiful in black & white.

A little rain, a little romance, and a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful moments aren’t the ones that go according to plan.

Birdie stayed a little longer so we could capture a quiet moment after dinner, and there’s something about the timelessness of a black & white that makes the moment feel a little more profound.

Some rooms fill you up just by being in them.

The FFFCON VIP dinner was one of those rooms. Women building real things, cheering for each other like it’s their job — no competition, just “how can I help you win?”

I came home with a full heart because being in rooms like this is the real wealth.
