Voyage LA Magazine featured me in their latest blog post this week!  If you are not familiar with the LA publication staple, Voyage LA Magazine prides themselves on showcasing LA’s Most Inspiring Stories and People.

I loved that Voyage LA Magazine asked some very honest and straightforward questions.

You know, the “grind behind the glamour”….

Voyage LA Magazine:

Holly, has it been a smooth road?

Holly Gray:

“Smooth? Smooth is for peanut butter and scotch! Being a business owner is not easy. I relate it to exercise. If you want to fit into those pants, you have to work at it every day! I jest but truthfully after 6 years, I learn something new everyday. The biggest struggle over the years was finding the right clients. Those clients that make you smile from ear to ear and remind you in their actions everyday why you love your job so darn much! Finding those clients makes every struggle so worthwhile!”

Voyage LA Magazine:

Holly, Is this city (LA) a good place to do what you do?

Holly Gray:

“LA is the perfect backdrop to the kind of events I design. They are full of color, diversity, love and creativity. They are a perfect representations of the unique melting pot that is this city of angels. That being said, LA is challenging. The wedding industry is very saturated here. It is all about finding your niche and standing out in the crowd with whatever you do best. You need a thick skin and a positive attitude to succeed here.”

Thank you to Voyage LA Magazine for taking the time to “Meet” locals all over the LA area and showcase their talents and work. It means so much to me to be featured in a publication I enjoy and respect so much. Thank you for letting me be me!
