About Ruby Red Co.


Special occasions have always been at the heart of my fondest memories. Growing up, holidays meant gathering at my grandparents' house, where the warmth of family and friends filled every corner. My grandmother had a way of making even the simplest moments feel extraordinary—setting the table with beautiful dishes, preparing delicious food, and adding thoughtful little touches that made each gathering feel special.

One of my earliest treasures was my grandmother’s china cabinet, where she kept "Alyssa's china"—a Royal Albert Country Rose set left to me in my grandfather's will. Each delicate plate and teacup holds not just beauty but stories—reminders of love, tradition, and the magic of shared meals. My mother, too, had a gift for making everyday moments feel special. She would scour antique shops and thrift stores for unique pieces, turning something as simple as strawberries and yogurt into an elegant affair with vintage Haviland china.

As an artist, a dance professional, and someone deeply influenced by strong, creative women, I’ve always believed that beauty and celebration should be accessible to everyone. A special event isn’t about extravagance—it’s about creating moments of joy, connection, and magic.

How It All Started

What began as a love for baking cupcakes turned into something much bigger. I started baking as a hobby, but my passion grew when I used cupcake sales to help a dear friend and family member facing medical expenses after a tragic accident. That experience changed me. I saw firsthand how small acts of creativity and kindness could bring comfort and joy to others, and I realized that celebrating life—through shared experiences, beautiful tablescapes, and meaningful gatherings—was something I wanted to help others do.

Our Mission

At the core of Ruby Red Co. is a deep commitment to community. I believe that everyone, regardless of budget, deserves to celebrate life's special moments. That’s why we focus on making events accessible and sustainable—by offering rentals instead of ownership, partnering with local businesses and artisans, and giving back to those in need.

Because joy should be shared. Magic should be felt. And the memories we create together should last a lifetime.
