ABOUT ANN SAAVEDRA

Prior to graduating from the prestigious Rudolph Schaefer School Of Design in San Francisco, Ann successfully ran her own interior design business for over 20 years where she honed her abilities to manage budgets, create space plans and further refined her creative instincts. Ann specializes in designing events with flair, style and lots of creativity. She has planned and managed numerous parties in the private sector and even worked on special projects with the Event Department of KQED-TV in San Francisco. Throughout many years of designing events Ann has gained an excellent reputation for consistent creativity, timely delivery and budget management.

Ann's work is exceptional and has been recognized by the media. She earned a Shellie Award for Outstanding Scenic Design while working on “Same Time Next Year” at the Dean Lesher Regional Center for the Arts. She has also been published in the San Francisco Chronicle and Contra Costa Times as well as an interior design coffee table book, Colors For Living.

An artist at heart, her talents lend themselves naturally to distinctive table presentations and flower arrangements that will delight discerning clients of all tastes and backgrounds. As a long-time Bay Area resident Ann knows all the best places in town as well as the best vendors. Additionally, she loves to travel and her trips throughout the United States and Europe have given her a thorough knowledge of a wide variety of cuisines, wines and champagnes.

Ann truly understands the commitment and expense that goes into creating a special event and that everything has to run smoothly because there is no second chance to get it right. Her message to you is "just close your eyes and fast forward a few months from now to the wee hours of your celebration as you're boarding the plane for your honeymoon destination, feeling ready to celebrate a new life with your new spouse, you'll be glad you didn't have to go it alone!"
