Hi. I am Veronica! I grew up on California's Central Coast. I spent my time enjoying the beaches and hills of Santa Barbara County, which undoubtedly shaped my style today. I am inspired by all of the beauty California has to offer, so I moved down the coast to San Diego to attend University. Working in hospitality, I began laying the foundation for what is now Type A Soiree. I've loved getting the opportunity to work for some of the top rental and event planning companies in San Diego, as well as running events at Del Mar Race track, prior to launching Type A Soiree.
