Hello 

My love of cooking began at the heart of my mother's kitchen when I was 12 years old, sparked during a time when she was away on vacation in California.  I decided to host a dinner party to celebrate my dad's birthday.  I'll never forget the moment I told my mom that "I want the recipe for Dushperah", a dumpling known to Russians as Pelmeni.  Mom tried to convince me to wait until she got home, saying "We'll do it together". Of course I didn't listen and I invited the entire family over.  I wanted them to see that I can make it on my own without my mother's help, and that day, my talent was discovered.

​

Growing up in a multicultural household, I was deeply inspired by the diverse flavors and traditions of my heritage. This fueled my curiosity to experiment with various cuisines and develop a culinary style that is uniquely my own.  My passion for cooking truly blossomed as I got married and started a family. I began hosting countless gatherings in our large home, first for Shabbat and then for Jewish holidays. With a big family and a love for entertaining, I found immense joy in welcoming friends and love ones to share in these special moments.

​

I created themed concepts and projects for myself as a way to challenge my creativity and skills. With each event, my confidence grew and so did the compliments. Recognizing my own talent, and the joy it brought my family and friends, I started hosting large dinner parties and events,eventually expanding my passion into creating events for clients.  During my time at CW Post University, where I earned my degree in Interior Design, I discovered a new passion for creating stunning tablescapes, floral arrangements and more. This journey allowed me to merge my love for design with a flair for crafting elegant and memorable event aesthetics.

As my reputation grew, I transitioned from the home kitchen to a successful career as an event planner, specializing in creating unforgettable experiences for weddings, corporate events, and private parties.  From conceptualizing the vision to executing every element, I oversee every aspect of the planning process. This includes curating exquisite menus, designing breathtaking floral arrangements, sourcing luxurious linens, fine china and stemware, coordinating music, and managing the timeline, ensuring a seamless service. 

​

My expertise lies in crafting a cohesive and unforgettable experience allowing you to relax and enjoy your event while every detail is thoughtfully and professionally managed. With K Soiree, your event is brought to life from A to Z, effortlessly blending style, sophistication, and perfection.

With a keen eye for aesthetics and meticulous approach to detail, paired with a deep understanding for flavor profiles, I seamlessly combine my culinary expertise with event planning.  Every element, from the food to the ambiance, is thoughtfully curated to ensure a flawless and unforgettable experience. My passion for perfection ensures that no detail is overlooked, creating events that are as visually stunning as they are deliciously memorable. 

Sincerely, Iris.
