Mint Julep Social Events is brimming with excitement as two of our Hostesses make their web
debut (despite being with the company for quite awhile). We want you to get to know them! Dean Fisher and Mary Suzuki are MJSE's featured Hostesses and we have just updated our
site so you can catch a glimpse of their marvelous Hostess abilities. Please check out their bios below and revel in the beauty of their photos taken by Michael and Anna Costa.
Dean Fisher was raised in Lexington, Kentucky, a town steeped in mint juleps and Southern charm. Born into a family-owned catering business, amid the chatter and laughter of social soirees, event planning has always been second nature with Dean. Polished at the Hall's School of Cotillion and Etiquette, and studied at The School for the Creative and Performing Arts, Dean eventually moved into interior design (working with greats like design "it girl" Kelly Wearstler), creating stunning event environments and shaping experiences for her clients. Incorporating her roots in entertaining with her keen sense of aesthetic, Dean exudes a unique aire of poise, skill, and authenticity rarely seen in the event industry today.

Mary Yuriko Suzuki, a second-generation Japanese American (nisei), earned an Interior Design degree from FIDM and is a Natori in Azuma Kotobuki Kai. She has developed a sophisticated appreciation for color, texture, and pattern which she incorporates into her understanding of space, lighting, and mood. Mary admits to having a bias for all things Mid-Century Modern, Art Decco, and Japanese. If pressed, she will site Charles and Henry Greene, Charles and Ray Eames, and her father, Masayasu Suzuki as influences.Combining a well-studied appreciation and knowledge of heritage, Mary brings a synergystic fusion of culture and design to the wedding industry, offering a modern reflection of classical themes to any occasion.
