The Dream Team

I’ve always been a gal who pays special attention to the small details— so the world of weddings was a natural calling for me. As the minimalist of the group, doing DIY projects, loving on my family & animals is usually where you will find me. On my days off, you can find me on our farm, often hosting family and friends and working towards our dream of having a self sustained homestead. Some of my other favorite hobbies are shopping local secondhand stores, on the hunt for something special and truly one of a kind (I am a sucker for all things vintage or antique).

Hi, I’m Karly! One part of this dynamic event-coordinating group! While my 9-to-5 life started in the oil field area, my true passion has always been organizing memorable moments and bringing people together. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of helping plan everything from bachelorettes and baby showers to bridal showers for friends and family, and somewhere along the way, I realized this wasn’t just a hobby… it’s something I would like to fully dive into. What gets me excited is watching an idea grow into a full-blown celebration. I live for the details, the to-do lists, the decor brainstorming, and especially that moment when everything comes together and faces light up. Whether it’s a small, cozy gathering or a full-on bash, I’m all in. When I’m not working, you can find me on my little acreage with my three dogs, two cats, and my best friend - probably juggling a home project (or three). Life is always busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! I’m beyond excited to kick off this chapter with Frankly Mint and see what we can create for you!

I have a heart for projects- my normal day contains many pitch decks, schedules and brainstorming whiteboards. It’s safe to say events are a very big part of my life- with sharing a event bartending business with my sister (shout out Brewsisters Mobile Bartending) and carrying a background in the musical arts, event planning brings an immense creative fulfillment to my life. I have worked in everything from oilfield to hospitality, and private golf courses. I understand the vision and uphold from western chic to luxury events. I spend majority of my time drinking coffee or wine on my hobby farm with my kids, best friend and significant other, dogs, cats and chickens- that's where my heart is. I often use slang that i have created myself, and it never catches on... but I’m ok with it. I love cooking, fires with friends and fall horseback rides through the amazing landscapes Alberta has to offer. I dig the simple approach to almost everything and find the joy in seeing an event come together, of any size. I am THRILLED to be on this journey with Frankly Mint and look forward to the future.
