Hi There! 

Hey there! ✨ I’m Gloria, a 28-year-old small business owner with a passion for the wedding industry. 💖 My journey began at 17 when I started gaining valuable experience working across local restaurants, bars, private country clubs, and fine dining banquet halls. I began bartending the moment I turned 21! By the age of 23 I moved onto fine dining and event staffing at large banquet halls, and by 24 I was assisting in wedding and events coordination. After years in the industry, I took a leap of faith and launched The 86 Bar at the age of 25. I mainly focused on my strong suit (bartending), but always had the intention to provide coordination services, and finally growing this business into a full wedding planning service with additional rental options.🎉 It’s been an incredible journey being able to grow my business into what it is today, and I’m thrilled to play a part in so many special celebrations. ✨Grateful for every moment of this journey and can’t wait to create magical moments together!
