About Me

Hey! I’m Satarra, the creator behind MilestoneEventz.com. If you’ve ever wondered how to throw fabulous parties without emptying your wallet, you’re in the right place!

My journey:


Back in 2006, while studying at Brandeis University, I fell in love with the world of events and parties. By the time I graduated, I knew my passion was more than just a hobby. I took my love for event planning to the next level by training with the Institute of Wedding and Event Design (IWED) in 2018. And when the world changed during the pandemic, I created this virtual corner to help others navigate the maze of adult party planning.
