Hi! I’m Monica :)

To be honest- intros aren’t really my thing. But here we go!

I am a Florida born military brat. My childhood was filled with moving every few years, never really getting settled in one place but I didn’t mind it. Eventually, my family settled in eastern North Carolina, and I’ve been in the state ever since.

In 2021, I was a little lost and felt like I needed to get away. This led me to the beautiful town of Asheville, North Carolina. Living at the beach the majority of my life, I had never experienced the mountains, and I quickly fell in love. One solo 3-day vacation later and I was hooked. Two months later, I was packing up everything I owned and driving across the state to my new home.

Once here, I quickly became involved in working in events. Something I had never done before, even though I have been in the hospitality industry since I was 17. I found a passion that I truly love (and finally something I could use my hospitality degree for).

Working in the event world, you’re exposed to a lot of jobs within events themselves. Nothing truly speaks to me more than the design aspects of it though. I believe that good event design can transform a good event into a great event.

That’s why I started Poppin’ off AVL. Balloon decor is just one way that I have found to truly set your event apart from others. Whether it’s a baby shower, an engagement party, a grand opening, or just because- Poppin’ off AVL can transform your event into something spectacular!
