About

Hey Friend!

Hi, I’m Cali—a wife and mom of three in Zionsville, IN. I’ve always loved bringing people together through simple, intentional, beautiful events. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m not shy to have a large group in my home and I love being thoughtful about my guests’ experience.

I don’t think hosting has to be perfect—it just takes a little practice. If I had all the time in the world, I’d help more people see how good it feels to gather, let go of the party pressure, and feel more confident inviting others in. We need more open doors and less stress… because everyone deserves a place to feel like they belong.

For me, parties aren’t just about decorations—they’re a way to connect people and create moments that matter. My love for kids and background in teaching sparked a passion for creating parties where kids feel seen, celebrated, and truly loved.

At Make Merry Indy, I help busy moms plan one-of-a-kind kids’ celebrations with thoughtful touches and colorful, modern design. I think outside the box so you don’t have to—saving you time, relieving stress, and making party planning easier.

When we work together, you’ll find me to be more of a party coaching friend than some stranger you hired online.

I can’t wait to meet you!
