A Founder Story,
About Chiell Ann

Hi, I’m Chiell Ann (it's Shell like a seashell)— Founder and Creative Director of Love & Life Events. Born and raised in Los Angeles and now based in Huntington Beach, I grew up surrounded by cultural diversity that deeply shaped how I approach weddings today.

 

As a Filipino-American with Chinese and Portuguese roots, blending traditions, families, and modern design feels second nature to me. Before launching Love & Life Events, I worked as a VP/Director of Operations for a premium beauty startup, where I learned how to scale brands while maintaining exceptional client experiences. Today, I bring that same balance of creativity, organization, and elevated service into every celebration we design.

​

I’m also a proud mom of three little ones and a wife to my biggest supporter — and honestly, managing a busy family life has helped shape my calm, thoughtful, and solutions-driven planning style.

​

I believe weddings should feel intentional, joyful, fun, and deeply personal. While honoring family traditions is beautiful, your celebration should ultimately reflect your love story, your priorities, and the experience you want your guests to remember.

​

At Love & Life Events, our mission is simple — to create seamless, meaningful, and culturally thoughtful celebrations that allow couples to be fully present and truly enjoy one of the most important days of their lives.
