Meet the lady behind the biz—
Boss lady, Britt Corrales, loves being a host, coordinator, cook, and all-around creator. She is an artist in all that she does because she believes art and gathering is a language that connects us all. She lives in sunny San Diego and adores all things ethnic, bright, and enthusiastic. Britt is the Co-founder and visionary of Leu Leu Restaurant, a project that tells her love story with Leucadia, her hometown. Britt is the former Executive Director of the Leucadia 101 Mainstreet, and is always looking to help promote her neighboring businesses. She has worked with creative projects, florals and hosted dinner parties since she was in her teens, she was an Art Curator for a public Gallery in College, has produced weddings and helped run community events for approximately 13 years, managed wedding venues from Temecula to San Diego, and has taught over 2000 students the importance of growing their own food and eating seasonally. She has lived in both northern and southern California, Hawaii, and a short time in Greece. Her passion for people and travel has led her to explore Mexico, the Mediterranean, and Eastern and Western Europe. This is your sign to bring her with you for your DESTINATION WEDDING or have her help you with your community focused project!
Brittany's passion for events and promoting small business is unmatched. She believes the person/client is just as important as the party or product. This gives her an edge as she believes that the client, their guests and the STROY are the most integral part of the planning process. Who and Why, always come first. Details are only special if the attendee notices and the attendee connects in some way with that magic, the magic of the story.
Being the main host of gatherings in her friend group/cousins, you can usually find Britt picking out specialty wines, cheese, or cocktail fixings at your local supermarket, basket overflowing. Britt takes your big day to heart and even though this is her profession, she likes to get to know her couples on a personal level. Don’t be surprised if she asks you to meet up for a cocktail to ask some straight up questions and get to know your personal vibe from the get-go! Knowing the crowd is part of throwing a fabulous party or producing a top-notch project.
“The real axis of social change is not horizontal, but vertical.
We don’t need a whole bunch of people gathering to think shallow thoughts together. What we need is for as many people as are ready to gather and think deep thoughts together.”
The Mariposa History
Britt grew up in the once, Flower Capitol of the world, Leucadia, CA 92024. Her floral roots run deep, like you know, BLOOD. Her maternal grandfather was a successful and highly awarded Rose Breeder. A true plant scientist. Her paternal grandfather was a well respected and well known floral grower/wholesaler in Encinitas, with family roots in North County SD by way of Sonora, Mexico. It was only a lifelong epiphany waiting to happen when Britt recognized her hands-on love affair with humans, florals and events could be realized within one business, Mariposa Events Company LLC. Britt now works from her grandfathers rose seeding bench on her grandmothers property in Leucadia, 92024. She considers herself one lucky little duck.
