Personal

Over the years, Haley always found a reason to have a party. “In my family we celebrate everything – birthdays, half-birthdays, Kentucky Derby – people know us for being the home that is always welcoming and hosting.” Today she and her husband make any excuse to have a dinner party, oyster roast or a night out at a new hot spot, whether it’s celebrating friends’ promotions, welcoming new neighbors or planning their two young children’s birthdays. It’s that determined sense of celebration and togetherness that drives Haley’s love of creating a perfect experience that won’t be forgotten.
