Behind every successful event, there is a hardworking Event Planner.
Meet the newest addition to our team, Nazret Asfaw!
Nazret really wanted more experience in the event planning world so joining Her Big Day was a match made in wedding planning heaven. Nazret has been closely involved in our quarterly mixers, bridal brunch, one year anniversary party and our wedding show that is around the corner. Learn more about her below! P.s. If you're reading this on July 20th, it's her birthday so be sure to wish her a happy birthday!

Where are you from? I am Ethiopian and have lived in Seattle,Washington for over twenty-four years.
What is the most fun event you have planned? I enjoyed planning my brother’s Melse (part two of the Wedding). Everything from the decorations, dresses, food, and photographs turned out better than I expected. It brought joy to see family and friends enjoying themselves.
If you could get married today, where would be your dream wedding? I have always said it didn’t matter where I got married. I only care about having those close to me take part in the celebration.
What would be your wedding colors and/or theme? I would like to keep day one of my wedding simple and classic with gold, white, ivory and blush. I then would have day two (Melse) be filled with bright colors such as yellow, fuchsia and blue.
What are wedding traditions in your culture?

What are wedding traditions in your culture?
On
the couple’s wedding day, relatives and guests will assemble at the
bride’s and groom’s houses. The groom dresses for the wedding then picks
up the bride from her family’s house. The bride and the bridal party
meet the groom at the entrance of her home with music and bar him from
entering until he makes his way through. On day two,
the families of the bride and groom wear traditional clothing as a way
to signify unity. Women get traditional braids and wear lots of jewelry.
The groom and bride wear these beautiful embroidered crown and cape.
Your favorite drink to order at Starbucks:
Your favorite drink to order at Starbucks:
I’m not a fan of coffee or tea so I usually get a Passion Tea Lemonade.
What’s in your purse? I don’t carry much in my purse just my phone, wallet, and chap stick.
Your favorite quote:
Your favorite quote:
“There is no end to education. It is not that you
read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole
of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a
process of learning” Jiddu Krishnamurti
What do you hope to get out of interning with Her Big Day?
I am doing this internship in hopes of gaining
experience. I hope to learn how to effectively network, engage with
establishment owners and local businesses/sponsors, and practice
professional etiquette.
We are thrilled to have Nazret on our team!
