About the Founder

Caroline Calleja

Hi there! I’m Caroline, and I’ve spent the last decade bringing couples’ wedding dreams to life. Before diving into wedding planning, I managed restaurants and events across New York, Florida, and most recently, Maryland.

Balancing the excitement of starting my own business with raising my twin toddlers boys has taught me the art of multitasking and organization. I’m passionate about creating seamless and unforgettable celebrations, and I can’t wait to help make your special day truly extraordinary!

The Name Behind Protea Event Planners

The name "Protea Event Planners" is inspired by the protea flower, a symbol deeply rooted in South Africa. The protea, known for its unique and striking appearance, represents transformation, diversity, and resilience—qualities that perfectly align with our approach to event planning.

Choosing the name "Protea Event Planners" is more than a nod to my heritage; it embodies the values we uphold. Just as the protea flower adapts and thrives in various environments, we specialize in crafting extraordinary events that adapt to our clients' unique needs and visions.
