At the heart of Chosen Moments Collective is my passion for creating intentional experiences that bring people together. When I’m not planning events, you can usually find me baking something sweet, trying a new restaurant or recipe, or soaking up quality time with my husband and our energetic toddler.

Fun fact: I began my career in culinary arts as a line cook, worked my way into restaurant management, and eventually transitioned into banquets and events. That’s where everything clicked. The pace, the creativity, the joy of seeing a vision come together. It felt like home.

With over a decade of experience and a bold step into entrepreneurship, I’ve found my true passion in planning events where no two experiences are the same. Each celebration tells a unique story, and I’m honored to help bring those stories to life.

Hello! I’m Zerena Brown. I’m so glad you’re here.
