Meet LaKeshia
Meet LaKeshia
LaKeshia is the Chief of Operations at Moonshine Micro Weddings. She comes by way of Los Angeles and brings the California sunshine wherever she goes. She has a nomadic spirit and has lived all across this country and even a couple others! Unafraid of the unknown, LaKeshia is equal parts fearless and fun, turning every ‘what if?’ into a confident ‘why not?’
She’s equal parts strategist and hype-woman, a connector and problem-solver who knows that her superpower is balancing the practical with the personal—keeping everything running smoothly while never losing sight of the people at the center of it all (YOU).
