'Lifestyle Expert'
Natalie Keene Bradley
Natalie Keene Bradley’s goal of hosting a
television show came to fruition in December
2005.
That’s when she agreed to serve as a ‘lifestyle
expert’ on several local TV productions.
The first program, ‘Holiday Home’, showcased
Natalie’s passion for party planning and decorating.
Along with her work on ‘ Georgia Life & Style’, Natalie owns the Athens-based event
planning and design company, Soirée! Ltd. The company launched in May of 2003 and
within three months, Natalie found herself ‘booked’ to plan close to two dozen events. An
exciting start to an entrepreneurial dream!
Three years later, Soirée! Ltd. is on the fast track. Natalie’s take-charge attitude, bubbly
personality and increasing popularity have definitely made her company “one to watch“!
Natalie’s passion for event planning kicked off
after she graduated from the University of Georgia
in 2001. Within three months of taking a position at
the historic Lickskillet Farm Restaurant in Roswell,
Natalie was promoted to event director and went
on to plan more than 200 events at the venue.
A year later, sensing a need for change, Natalie
and her husband, Ed, decided to return to
Athens. Here, Natalie’s career path led her to a
planning position at the Foundry Park Inn where
she gained experience in hotel workings and
planning for corporate and university events.
Soon after, despite her young age, Natalie decided it was time to take on the
challenges of owning her own company. Knowing she would have to understand every
facet of the business, she took a position with local caterer, Hallie Jane’s.
That experience helped Natalie further understand menu design and what goes into
planning events in various off-site locations.
In January of 2003, Natalie decided it was time to take on the world of event planning!
She spent several months researching and promoting her new venture and eventually
began taking on clients and planning events under the Soirée! Ltd. name.
