Meet the maker

Hi friends!! I’m Maria, (the “we” behind Happy Glampers), and I’m SO happy you’re here. I am a former active duty Army officer, current active duty military spouse, and proud mama of two wonderful daughters.

Growing up a 90s kid, crafting has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember—thanks Lisa Frank + Sanrio Surprise ;). As someone who thrives on making others happy, I started this business in 2023 (in Monterey, CA) after realizing I could bring that passion + joy of crafting extraordinary events to other families.

Fast forward a year and half and I’m now (sort of) starting over here in the PNW. But my goal remains unchanged—to make your party planning experience stress-free so that you can be fully present + enjoy those special moments with your loved ones. Every event that I plan is a reflection of my love for design and creating something magical that will leave you, your family, + guests with memories to be treasured long after the party is over.

When I’m not in party/mom-mode, you can find me hiking, backpacking, at the gym, SUPing, wine-tasting, or chasing Orcas, alpenglow, + new adventures.
