Out of the Box Mastermind, Floral Artisan Extraordinaire, Super Mom of Four
Karlee Blake’s journey in the event planning industry began in 1993 when she started by babysitting and washing votives for an Event Planner at a young age. This opportunity paired with her mother’s extensive experience in floral design and wedding coordination, gave Karlee a head-start in the world of events and set the foundation for her career. Karlee took her passion to the next level by founding her own floral and coordinating business. She quickly established herself as one of the preferred florists and coordinators in the greater Seattle area. In 2018, Karlee joined an event production agency, where she worked with corporate clients such as Microsoft, Push Pay, and several prestigious law firms. She orchestrated large conferences, tours, and holiday parties, including the International Trademark Association (INTA) event. Karlee joined the CE Group as part of the Destination Management Company (DMC) team in 2023. Her unique blend of expertise allows her to bring a distinctive touch to the events she coordinates, combining her years of event experience with a deep understanding of floral design. Karlee is thrilled to bring her wealth of experience and creativity to the CE Group, contributing to memorable events and unforgettable experiences for clients and guests.
