Interactive Event Host // Facilitator

I facilitate joyful, meaningful gatherings for people marking important moments in their lives.

From milestone celebrations and Bat Mitzvahs to weddings and retreats, my work blends play, presence, and thoughtful facilitation. I help groups of all ages feel at ease, engaged, and connected.

My style is playful, approachable, and well-held — bringing structure without rigidity, energy without overwhelm, and warmth without pressure.

About Summer

I’m a professional performing artist and experienced facilitator who has hosted events for over 2,000 people at the Chase Center, led retreats for groups of 300, directed a multi-facility day-camp company, and toured award-winning comedy theater across the U.S.

I know how to light up a room and guide groups through moments of play, transition and celebration.

Bat Mitzvah & Bar Mitzvah Hosting

I specialize in interactive Bat and Bar Mitzvah hosting that balances tradition, fun, and flow.
 

My role goes far beyond announcements. I design and guide the full experience — from early icebreakers to the Hora, from dance-floor games to a meaningful closing circle — so the celebration feels joyful, inclusive, and intentional from start to finish.
 

Families appreciate that kids stay engaged without chaos, parents and grandparents feel part of the fun, cultural moments are honored, and the guest of honor feels supported and celebrated.

Milestone Celebrations & Private Gatherings

In addition to mitzvahs, I host milestone celebrations and curated private gatherings for people marking important life moments.
 

This includes significant anniversaries, coming-of-age celebrations, family gatherings, and private events designed with intention.
 

My voice brings the same thoughtful structure, playful energy, and intergenerational connection to these gatherings, helping groups relax, connect, and celebrate in a way that feels elevated and personal.

Retreats, Corporate & Group Facilitation

I facilitate retreats, corporate offsites, and group gatherings for organizations and communities seeking to spark new creativity and meaningful connection.
 

My offerings in these spaces include customizable program development focused on building trust quickly, creating inclusive and engaging experiences, sparking creativity, developing courage and skill in public speaking, and supporting groups to connect through play, movement, and reflection.

Weddings & Ceremonies

I am licensed to officiate legal weddings and offer fully customized ceremony facilitation for couples who want their ceremony to feel authentic, joyful, and deeply personal.
 

My ceremonies are warm and playful, emotionally grounded, and structured without being overly scripted. The power of connection comes from being in the moment - I work closely with couples to craft ceremonies that reflect who they truly are, while guiding the moment with calm confidence and candid intuition.

What Makes This Work Different

• A warm, playful style that puts people at ease
• Real-time energy pacing and room awareness
• Structured experiences that feel playful, not chaotic
• Inclusive design that connects guests across generations
• Customizable cultural and ceremonial moments

Who This Is For

My work is a great fit for people who want experiences that feel joyful, intentional, and well-held; a host or facilitator who can guide all ages; and gatherings that leave people feeling connected and uplifted.
