Brandee Gaar
Owner / Lead Designer
Brandee is the fearless founder of Blush, and her love for party planning runs deep! She founded the company after 6 years of planning large-scale corporate events at the prestigious Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Weddings ignite a fire in Brandee unlike any other; she’s obsessed with every part of the planning and execution process. She adores hearing a couple’s unique and special engagement story, learning about their vision for their perfect day, and meeting all the family members anxious to help in any way they can!
She loves the look on spouses’ faces as they catch the first glimpse of their forever love, and the glimmer in their eyes as they preview the reception space as a newly married couple! Brandee’s favorite expression to hear from clients is, “It’s so much better than I imagined!”
In addition to serving as Blush’s CEO, Brandee is also a coach and consultant for growth-driven entrepreneurs! Learn more here.

Meet Sophia
Associate Coordinator
At the start of College, Sophia was pursuing her education in Psychology. She loved to learn about people and how to ensure they are taking the best steps towards happiness. Within her education, Sophia realized she was learning so much, but was lacking the hands-on personal connection she was desiring.
By switching to UCF's Rosen College of Hospitality Management, Sophia was able to open new doors for herself that she had never imagined were possible. Quickly after transferring, Sophia joined the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) at UCF club (now known as WEDS). In her senior year, she became the President of ABC and was given the opportunity to become a Certified Wedding Planner through the Certified Wedding Planner Society.
Now, 5 years later as a full-time wedding planner in Central Florida, Sophia's dedication is evident in every aspect of her work. She will ensure every couple is fully seen, taken care of and supported during each step of the planning process and wedding day.
Meet Vicki
Associate Coordinator
I am a wife and mother of 2 kiddos living in Jacksonville FL. I have worked in the hospitality industry since I was 14. I’ve done everything there is in the hospitality world, but I have always gravitated to the event/catering side of work.
I started planning weddings in 2014 by helping out with friends’ and families’ weddings. After having my daughter in 2019, I decided to start my dream job of wedding planning.
I love being able to bring my couple’s visions to life. It’s very important to make sure my couples are present for their day and not worrying about the small details. I strive in making sure my couples have the most magical day!
Meet Stephanie
Associate Coordinator
I have been part of the hospitality industry ever since I can remember. My grandmother owned her catering business and I would help her every time she had an event, I loved it! I went the traditional route in getting a bachelor's degree in Health Administration to soon realize that I had a different calling. My passion for organizing and planning events has always been innate in me, so I decided to tap into those skills and have never looked back. I believe that every detail matters and I will ensure that you and your guests truly enjoy your once in a lifetime experience.
