About Us

Welcome to Jade and Ray! We're so glad you're here.

Our founder, Summer, has been creating unforgettable events for over 15 years. With a deep passion for bringing people together and a love for the community that events create, Summer has built a career centered around curating exceptional experiences.

Her journey in event planning has been diverse and fulfilling. From her role as an Event Manager at one of San Diego’s most beloved wedding venues to planning corporate events nationally for a popular software consulting company, and more recently, serving as the Director of Events for a local nonprofit, Summer has touched every corner of the event world. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate function, or cause-driven gathering, Summer's focus has always been on the joy and connection that come from celebrating together.

After having children of her own, Summer has expanded her passion to planning baby showers and children's birthdays, cherishing the joy of creating special moments for families. Today, her focus is on crafting intimate, meaningful micro-events such as birthdays, baby showers, dinner parties, and more. These smaller, personalized gatherings allow her to pour attention into every detail and truly connect with her clients.

Jade and Ray was created out of Summer’s love for bringing people together, and we are here to help turn your vision into a reality. We’re excited to work with you to create a magical celebration.

Let’s create something unforgettable together!
