District Blog

The Lighthouse District's own A Sparkling Event wedding and event planners would like to introduce our fabulous team to you. Check out our blog every Saturday to meet each of our staff members!

Sam is one of our Associate Planners who is makeup artist extraordinaire, fashion stylist, and Snapchat educator. She comes from a big family that loves to celebrate and entertain, and she always loved being a part of the planning and seeing the vision come to life. Before the days of Pinterest, she would create her own boards with cutouts of magazines and newspaper articles and would plan full weddings and birthday parties all on a 12 x 12 poster board. Being able to do the same thing now and actually bringing it to life is something she's always dreamed of. She loves learning from events and thinking of all the ways to make a bride and groom's day even more special.

Crafted Presents Classes for Children

Posted on September 6th, 2016 by Crafted

Crafted, a handcrafted gift shop at 800 Lighthouse Ave, is beginning to present classes for children! In the first class, held around the end of September, shop owner Raecine Melendez will teach kids age 9-12 how to create a small glass terrarium they can take home. The fee is $20, which includes materials and light refreshments.

This will be a small class of no more than eight students, held in the back room of the shop. It’s intended as a fun way for children to exercise their creativity and meet other kids in the community.

Raecine would like to see how many people might attend before she schedules the date. If your child would be interested, please contact Raecine at [email protected] or 831-277-0100.
