Senior Lead Planner

Marina

Marina is a Denver native that ventured East for college, before returning back to Colorado to lay down roots with her husband, Payton. She was a collegiate softball player at Washburn University in Kansas, where she was the President of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. As President, she planned yearly large scale events involving her school’s athletic department and their surrounding community, to generate support for Washburn Athletics and raise funds for organizations such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

After graduating at the top of her class, she made her way back to Colorado where she interned for USA Rugby in the training & education department. There, she helped manage corporate events, which involved guest list organization, hotel bookings, itinerary building, catering booking, and overall management of the event flow. Marina then went on to work at a health & wellness company called Resilience Code, where she was the head of the customer service department. Her main duties involved planning and executing retreats for upscale clients, and putting on events to acquire new customers and generate revenue for the company. During this time, Marina was also planning her own wedding, which led to her working with Jordan and the Harper Bond Events team. After an absolutely beautiful Big Day, she decided to direct her event planning passions and experience toward the wedding industry and joined the Harper Bond Events team!

Kelsey moved to Denver when she was less than a year old, so she considers herself a Colorado native! She grew up in Centennial, before heading up to Fort Collins to become a proud Colorado State Ram! Kelsey received her bachelor’s degree in social work in 2016, but always had the planning bug in the back of her mind! From planning her own wedding (basically from birth) and throwing never ending social gatherings for her friends, Kelsey may not have had a direct path to event planning, but her keen eye, attention to detail, and ability to remain calm in a crisis make her a welcome addition to the Harper Bond Events team! Kelsey now lives in Aurora with her husband, Danny, and her two cats, Scampers and Stacey! She considers herself a tattooed girly girl obsessed with all things bridal. Kelsey loves reading, dancing to old N’SYNC music, and making your wedding dreams come true!
