Our Story

---

The Next Chapter Events was built from passion, resilience, and the belief that life’s most meaningful moments deserve to be celebrated with intention and care.

Founded by Jacqulyn Floria, the journey began in 2019 with a small creative business focused on handcrafted décor, custom signage, and personalized designs. What started as a passion for creating beautiful, meaningful pieces quickly grew into a love for bringing entire events to life. After experiencing profound personal loss and taking time to heal, Jacqulyn found a renewed sense of purpose—one rooted in honoring life’s most important moments and helping others celebrate theirs.

Co-Founder Tamara Crawford brings a unique background in the music industry, where she traveled across the country as a vocalist, gaining inspiration and connection through every experience. As a devoted mother, her journey has been shaped by perseverance, faith, and a long-held dream of building something meaningful. That dream ultimately led her to step into a new chapter—one centered on creativity, purpose, and lasting impact.

Together, they created The Next Chapter Events—a full-service wedding and event planning company dedicated to designing unforgettable experiences. More than just events, their work represents new beginnings, meaningful connections, and the stories that deserve to be beautifully told. Every celebration is approached with professionalism, creativity, and genuine care—because to them, every detail matters and every client becomes part of the story.
