Selina Grande
Certified Event Producer
Selina’s love for events started early—helping her mom decorate and host social gatherings as a child sparked a passion for planning and an eye for detail that would later define her career. In 2009, she became a Certified Event Planner and began her professional journey with BTB Event Productions, a full-service event production company. Her creativity and precision quickly moved her up the ranks, leading events ranging from corporate galas and social gatherings to weddings fit for royalty.
After years of mastering both the production and venue side of events—including five years leading the Wedding Division at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort—Selina founded Above & Beyond Events in 2016. Her well-rounded background means she knows the ins and outs of every element of the event world, from vendor contracts to guest experiences, and everything in between.
Selina is known for her ability to turn a blank space into something magical—or to take a client’s unique vision and elevate it with thoughtful details. Her superpower? Truly listening. She works closely with clients to craft events that are seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable.
When she’s not bringing dream events to life, Selina enjoys her own full and joyful life in Orange, CA. She’s been married to her wonderful husband for 7 years, and together they have two energetic kids who are always ready to throw kitchen dance parties. She’s a lover of travel, all things outdoors, live concerts, restaurant hopping, and the occasional impromptu bowling competition on fun nights out.
With Selina and the Above & Beyond team, your celebration is in passionate, capable hands.
