Why We Do
Our Mission
We intend to expose and take part in the positive impact that celebration and gathering has on the human experience.
We believe that the way we resonate with one another more deeply is through tangible human connections and shared experiences. You + Your People + This Moment In Time is once-in-a-lifetime. We hope to evoke feelings so strong that the connection continues on in two little words…….“remember when.”
You want a party that leaves your guests excited for more!
We can help.
About Me
Hey there, thanks for stopping by! I’m Kiona (kee-oh-nah), the creative director at Resonant Celebrations. In a nutshell, I love this profession for four reasons; PEOPLE, PROBLEM SOLVING, IMPACT, and PASTA.
IMPACTFUL experiences have resounding effects so that is what I aim to create through giving in a big way.
PROBLEM SOLVING (in my opinion) is the undiscovered love language in which I am fluent. I enjoy combining strategy with imagination to create efficiency for every client.
Orchestrating history with extraordinary PEOPLE makes it all matter. I hope to facilitate authentic moments of pure joy for you….and always be reminded why I love what I do.
Personally, I am fiercely loyal, a clear communicator, detail-organized, reasonably particular, and a lifelong child of God who loves to laugh. If you’re wondering about that fourth thing, well… I just really love PASTA so I didn’t want to leave that point out! Until we meet, stay interesting, be free, and make pasta, not problems (it’s more enjoyable anyway).

Singing “I’m Almost There” from Disney’s The Princess & The Frog makes me feel invincible, every time!
I am a lifelong vegetarian who absolutely loves pasta and sauce (it’s so versatile) and totally dislike coffee and oatmeal (I prefer hot chocolate!) So if you have any yummy hot chocolate or pasta ideas…email me….seriously…
I have a huge (out of control) keychain collection. Its an addiction, and I’ll never post any proof of its existence.
I am absolutely awful at folding clothing (or fitted sheets) correctly. They always end up looking rolled. sad, but true…
I have a masters degree from Ball State University in Speech-Language Pathology (speech therapy)….it’s my other passion.

How We Do It
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed but we LIVE for the ENERGY EXCHANGE. Ours is defined as an overall vibe and attitude of efficiency, joy, and excitement. Most importantly, our energy is contagious!
We hold ourselves to a standard and aren’t afraid to be held accountable to that promise. Every single moment we internalize the practice of integrity in all of our interactions according to the principles of the word of God so that we are worthy of your trust….so go ahead, hold us to it.
We are unified in our mission to provide a positive life experience, in process and execution, for all parties involved. We believe that this is only possible through consistently impeccable teamwork, so that is exactly what we aim to deliver.
We promise to always communicate our intentions honestly, specifically, and effectively.
It is our absolute pleasure to re-imagine what creative and logistic elements look like for each moment we create. The vision for the outcome is absolutely attainable….together, we are able to make it happen!
We build every one of our relationships with friends, family, team members, creative partners, clients, and guest, on mutual respect, 100% of the time, no exceptions.
Let's get started!
