Brieanna Smith, owner of “The Legacy Experience Weddings & Events” strives for IT ALL. What began as coordinating and setting up small events as a hobby has expanded over the years to Hosting/MC, complete event management, balloon designs, florals, and most importantly having a team to take on multiple wedding and events in one day no matter the distance. She’s mentored other planners in the industry who are now successful entrepreneurs as well and THAT is what tugs on her heart the most. The ability to spread the knowledge she’s grasped throughout the years and continues to expand on it is what makes it worth continuing. Brieanna only takes BIG swings at BIG things!

In 2020 I had the unique opportunity to join the wedding industry, something I had desired since I was in middle school. A local wedding planner, Shauna Hamby, hired me onto her team. Initially my role was as her intern, and then the role transitioned to her assistant. After several years of gaining experience from her in this position, I decided it was time to start my own wedding and event business! I have always had a passion for serving others, and a knack towards creativity, so marrying the two in the wedding industry is such a joy. My desire is to uniquely craft each event I get to be apart of!
NiaCor’déja Gillis is a 26-year-old event planner in Waco, Tx. She is a devoted wife, daughter, and mother. Nia is the owner of NSJ Event Co. since 2019 but has decorated various events throughout her childhood. Nia is now the new owner of the event space The Function on Sanger Avenue. She loves helping create special moments and events for her clients. Creative themes and concepts are almost therapeutic for her. Her mother noticed Nia’s passion for events at a very young age when she would plan her own extravagant birthday parties every year, and dreamt of a wedding she didn’t truly know the meaning of. NSJ Event Co. opened a new venue space and now offers a venue space as apart of packages. NSJ Event Co. looks forward to working with clientele for the new year of 2024!
