MEET SADE
CO-FOUNDER
Sade is an entrepreneur with a creative flair, rich career history, and dedication to her community. She was born and raised with the love of her great grandmother in Baltimore, Maryland.
The best kept secret about Sade is her ingenuity, avant-garde approach to design and her ability to think outside the box. Developing her entrepreneurial and creative spirit, Sade co-founded Soulful Soiree Event Planning and Décor. Her passion for decor stemmed from the root of her family. Sade learned a plethora of skills that has taught her etiquette, proper table setting, and unorthodox ways of developing personality in any room. She has come to realize that there is no need to look for beautiful venues, as anyplace can be made beautiful.
During her spare time, Sade loves mentoring, traveling, spending time with loves ones and taking on new projects.
MEET BRIANA
CO-FOUNDER
Highly creative, innovative, and client-driven, Briana Hankins is a spearheading event planner and the co-founder of Soulful Soirée Event Planning & Décor.
Native to Clarksville, VA, and growing up in a close-knit family Briana discovered her passion for event planning early on. Her admiration for it began from her mother who planned her yearly birthday events, and this instilled her rooted devotion to do the same for others. This, along with her insanely organized and checklist enthusiast mindset has helped shape her into the leading event professional that she is today.
Briana loves what she does and is always seeking ways to advance herself both personally and professionally to better serve her clients. However, when she is not working, you can find her traveling, trying new adventures, hosting her own event gatherings, vlogging, and spending precious time with her family, friends, and her dog Binx.
