About

we’re more than a venue. we’re a mission.

Hi, I’m Francesca, and I’m so glad you’re here!
Truly, if this were my house, I’d welcome you in, start pulling food out, and make sure you left with your belly and your heart full.

I’ve always loved hosting, creating beauty on a budget, and making people feel seen and celebrated. Over time, I realized that what fills me most isn’t just decorating a space, it’s helping people feel worthy of being celebrated.

That’s the heart behind The Planted & The Poured: Creating gatherings that overflow with grace, beauty, and genuine connection.

where purpose took root

My passion met its true purpose when I began leading Embrace Grace, a 12-week support group at my church for single, pregnant women. It’s a safe place where moms are reminded they’re not alone, that their stories matter, and their babies are a gift.

Each semester ends with a baby shower, celebrating these women with joy, dignity, and community. Volunteers do their hair and makeup, and I do a maternity photoshoot in my backyard. While the shower does equip them with baby and postpartum essentials, more importantly, we make sure our moms feel seen, known, and deeply loved.

we believe

EVERY CELEBRATION MATTERS

Whether it’s a micro wedding, baby shower, or Sunday brunch — gathering is sacred.

SINGLE MOTHERS DESERVE DIGNITY, JOY, & COMMUNITY

Every woman deserves to be celebrated — not just for her circumstance, but for her strength.

BEAUTY SHOULD NEVER BE OUT OF REACH

We believe in creating beautiful experiences that feel warm and welcoming, not extravagant or exclusive.

At The Planted & The Poured, our dream is to build a community where celebrations do more than decorate a day — they plant seeds of hope.

Together, we can grow something beautiful: A space where every event has a purpose, and every guest leaves feeling loved.
