About Us

Back in 2014, after 6 years of managing corporate events and medical meetings, Natalie launched SweetPea as a side project! Natalie is the backbone that the SweetPea team turns to and has developed strong relationships with our many clients that have helped us grow. She is a true perfectionist and provides an absolutely stellar meeting and event experience. When she isn’t at work, Natalie loves spending time with her husband, 3 kids, and their dog, Shep, leading amazing women in Bible Study Fellowship, enjoying the mountains, taking family adventures, reading, and spending time with amazing friends.

Operating as the de facto COO, Nate is an entrepreneur at heart with a diverse background that helps bring the SweetPea team and business together to serve amazing clients. Drawing from 15 years of experience in everything from supply chain, to sales, to brand design and development, Nate loves the opportunity to build meaningful experiences and rich relationships with clients, sponsors, and vendors. When not spending the majority of his time with Natalie discussing SweetPea, Nate enjoys spending time in the mountains, snowboarding, traveling, photography, cooking, tennis, scuba diving, going to concerts, and keeping his 3 incredible kids from killing each other.

Zoë’s passion for creativity and interest in event planning led her to SweetPea in 2021. Vibrant, flexible, and meticulous, Zoë supports SweetPea by organizing and executing the logistics of each event. She discovered a love for event planning during law school, during which time she served on the planning board for the annual Barrister’s Ball. Ever since then, Zoë has enjoyed putting on amazing events. In her free time, you’ll find Zoë drawing, painting, watching Marvel movies, and traveling around the world.

Morgan is the newest member of the SweetPea family! Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she comes to us from the Entertainment Industry as a former talent representative. It was there that Morgan discovered her passion for client relations and the joy of bringing their visions to life. In her free time, Morgan loves to travel and spend time with friends and family while spoiling her puppy, Stevie.
