Cindy

Owner/Designer/Event Planner

Cindy is the co-owner and founder of A Touch of Lavender and truly feels lucky that she has her husband, Jeff, as her right hand man (literally – check out his profile to the right). You can often find her dreaming up and sketching custom installations, floral designs, and elements that give A Touch of Lavender that extra edge and wow factor. Cindy is fluent in both Mandarin and Taiwanese and truly has her parents to thank as she can remember the years of not wanting to go to Chinese school. She is also known to be a hopeless romantic who absolutely loves romantic movies and articles about how couple’s paths crossed years before they met. A few fun facts about Cindy & Jeff from her perspective: they have known each other since the 7th grade, dated for 12 years before getting married, and introduced Jeff to vegetables & boba.

Jeff

Owner/Designer/Production

Jeff is the co-owner of A Touch of Lavender and can honestly say that he never imagined that he would be in the wedding industry. He always knew that he had a love of business and discovered this during his education at University of California, Irvine. Jeff started off with assisting Cindy and supporting her personal dreams of ATOL, but fell in love with the industry through the inspiring & hard working vendors they network with and above all seeing these special moments shared amongst the couples and their families. Jeff can often be found making sure the calculations, production, and time management is all set in stone to ensure events run flawlessly. A few fun facts about Cindy & Jeff from his perspective: they had all the same classes their junior year in high school (not planned), they didn’t date until after high school, and introduced Cindy to dark chocolate & donuts.

At a petite height of 5 ft., definitely do not judge her small stature. She is wise beyond her years and is the youngest member of A Touch of Lavender. Dena started off as an intern with ATOL, while she was studying at Cal State Fullerton. Currently Dena can be found behind the scenes in concert productions, organizing, and managing Korean Pop artists during the week and wedding planning on the weekends.

She is allergic to animals and most fruits, so don’t offer her a smoothie or a chance to cuddle with puppies and kittens.
