Founder & CEO

Vanessa Chaverst

Vanessa Chaverst brings more than 15 years of hands-on experience in event design, production, and client experience to every project she touches.

She launched Nessa's Delights in 2010, turning a passion for desserts, balloon styling, and party design into a thriving full-service event company. What began as a small startup grew into a trusted brand, working across everything from intimate private gatherings to large-scale corporate events.

In January 2023 she expanded her work as a partner in STRATA Events, a corporate event planning and design firm serving clients across Orange County and Los Angeles — blending elevated aesthetics with modern production.

In 2026 she became CEO of Events by Ness, a natural evolution of that journey. Rooted in the community and built on years of trusted relationships, it brings together celebrations, gatherings, and experiences designed with the client's vision at the center.

Working across Orange County, CA, San Diego, Los Angeles Area.
