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. ✨ I also have plans to return to school to deepen my knowledge in business and marketing….not to work for someone else, but to make my dream even bigger! Grateful for every moment of this journey and can’t wait to create magical moments together!
