The Parlor Project
Gather with Intention
the parlor IS OPEN
Connection without the pressure of perfection
real life connection, made easier
01
We make hosting feel doable
Parlor turns the idea of gathering into something approachable, even if you’ve never thought of yourself as “a host.” We provide guidance and support so inviting people over feels natural, not intimidating
this is where the parlor project comes in
02
We handle the hard parts
No overthinking, no endless planning, no starting from scratch. Parlor takes care of the details that usually create stress, so you can focus on showing up and enjoying the people around you
03
we're curated, but never fussy
Thoughtful, elevated, and intentionally simple. Parlor’s approach to gathering is designed to feel special without being precious, think beautiful, creative, and attainable for real life
04
connection, not performance
Parlor gatherings aren’t about impressing anyone. They’re about creating space for conversation, creativity, and presence, where everyone can simply show up
Wanting to gather without pressure, perfection or performance
A way of hosting that feels attainable, not overwhelming
A growing community of women rooted in connection
if any of this resonates:
A desire to step away from your phone and back into real, in-person connection.

I built Parlor because I needed it too
I’ve always believed in the power of bringing people together. But during the last few years, I’ve experienced just how essential IRL connection with other women can be. Being together, sharing space, conversation, and time brought strength, clarity, and support into my life during a season when I needed it most.
Again and again, I heard the same thing from women around me: we crave connection, but we’re just not sure how to make it happen anymore. For years, I’ve shared creative ideas and inspiration around gathering. Parlor is me taking that one step further, creating a way to turn desire into action and helping women gather with intention, ease, and support.
I’m so glad you’re here.
