OUR SPEAKER
Brandee Gaar is a luxury event planner, thought leader, educational speaker and host of the "She Who Dares" Podcast. As a lifelong lover of all things events, Brandee spent 7 years as a corporate event planner with the prestigious Gaylord Hotels brand before opening her own event consulting firm. Blush by Brandee Gaar and Eleven Events by Blush have quickly become known for their over the top events and high touch standard of customer service. Brandee Gaar is the go-to business coach and resource for wedding professionals and creative business owners who want to transform their small business from an expensive hobby into a thriving and successful career that gives them the financial and time freedom they deserve.

Brandee has been dubbed the Queen of Reels because of her love for teaching business owners simple and practical ways to get the most ROI for their time and energy investments, so they can earn a salary they deserve while creating a work-life balance they crave. Her talks are always interactive and hands-on because she’s found this approach leaves attendees with the tools and knowledge they need to immediately implement her strategies.
