Troy Williams | Event Planner + Event Designer + Lifestyle

Happy 1973 Birthday to me!! 🥳🎂💛 ☕️ 📚 I’m eternally grateful for my family, husband, son, lifelong and new friends and my event colleagues around the globe who lift me up and keep me grounded as another year passes by. This year of the Fire Horse is bringing the legit fire 🔥 in all the right ways to all aspects of my life and I’m here for it. Just returned from a Spectacular Simply Seoul 🇰🇷 Spring Break and decided to showcase 20 of my Solo shots from the week. I’ll do more details from the Seoul trip soon but for today on my actual BIRTHDAY - these SEOUL SOLO SHOTS showcase all of my love for travel, books, joyful laughs, funny moments, furry animals, flowers, new food, Starbucks, skincare, adventure, pop culture, dance, art, design, shopping, lifestyle, exotic locations, and just taking a leap to try something new. Life is too damn short, another year has passed too quickly and with the time I have left on this earth, I want to fill my cup of life to the very brim spilling over with experiences and unforgettable memories. 53 is going to be an exceptional year and thank you all for being in my life and going along for this simply grand adventure of mine. Think of me today when you grab a Starbucks or buy a book from your local independent bookseller and most importantly - be kind to a total stranger today and flash them your biggest smile and wish them a very HAPPY DAY. 😃 Also, be sure to add Seoul, South Korea 🇰🇷 to your travel bucket list. I can’t wait to return again and again. Simply love y’all!! 💛🧡🤍 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! Xoxox Simply Troy 💛🤍

Put a little SEOUL into your SUBWAY STEP. The joy the Seoul subway music chimes brings me when it’s approaching your stop is pure delight. #SimplySeoul #SimplyTroy 🎥 @craig_fields

Celebrating our hermana @evalongoria is always a party full of love, laughs, and all pretty things... Whether for minutes or hours, this afternoon was equally self pampering as much as it was a celebration.

Happy Wedding Wednesday! Last month I had the joy of photographing the most beautiful proposal for @allisonholker planned to perfection by her dear friend @simplytroy ! Troy pulled off an amazing double surprise- first a surprise birthday party for Allison (she had been told she was attending a gala), and then she was whisked away to a “Photo Booth” in the back of the house where she was surprised again by @clintonkane serenading them and the most beautiful intimate proposal on a bed of thousands of red rose petals. I just had to share a few more of the gorgeous dinner Troy created for them and their guests!

This might be our favorite chuppah. Like ever 😍 Kendall and Alex were a total dream couple - sincere, adventurous, and truly in love. Thank you for trusting us with such a special day. It’s days like this that we feel the luckiest! Full dressed in luscious ivory florals and deep green foliage, this custom chuppah is taller in the front giving beauty from every angle.

SURPRISE! SURPRISE! SURPRISE! @allisonholker & @adam.edmunds are ENGAGED!!! A surprise birthday party turned into a surprise proposal, which turned into a surprise engagement party!!! So many stories to keep straight and a secret I’ve held for months!!! Ultimately, it was so rewarding to see Allison’s absolute shock and delight after each reveal. Adam slipped into my DMs back in August, and we have been conspiring ever since to create the most magical moments for them on her birthday in La Quinta. What a heartwarming chapter in their love story and the beginning of their next big adventure together. Allison and I go way back, and it warms my heart that Adam trusted me to help bring his vision of love for her to life. I’ll share more soon, but for now—I love you both and hope you have the most incredible Valentine’s Day as FIANCÉS!!! Xoxo Troy ♥️💍🌹 . .

What is 6 + 7? 13! My 13th birthday was at an anime convention 💥 #animelosangeles #gojo #jujitsu_kaisen

Last week we had the pleasure of once again attending the Jordan Kahn Holiday Concert, @jordankahnorchestra an event we look forward to every year, and this one did not disappoint! Jordan brought out Joey Fatone from *NSYNC and the crowd was absolutely blown away 🎶✨ We were treated to a suite by our friends at @forma_mgmt (thank you, Katie!), spent quality time with dear friends @simplytroy , @nycgaydad , and @melissa_fancy , and met some wonderful new friends over an incredible pre-concert dinner at @monarchrestaurants . And best of all, the night raised $100,000 for Toys for Tots! 🎁 What an incredible and festive way to kick off the holidays. Thank you, Jordan, for your generosity, always!

SHINING BRIGHT in Fort Worth, Texas last night at the Celestial Celebration - Dune Sandstorm was the inspiration for the design - at @crescentfortworth with my fabulous friends @themediasocialites and made new TX friends too. Walked into the stunning @crescentfortworth hotel and into the Fog of Mystery at the sexy party with elevated Jell-O shots and incredible music. I love getting to visit new cities and hotels as a part of my @simplytroy job. The best perk for being able to know what is in the luxury space around the country. Simply grateful for the invite!! Oh and the @canyonranchfortworth spa before the event was beyond divine and the best way to acclimate to a new city and time zone before the party. Looking forward to a future visit for sure!! #simplytroybringingthejoy ……….

Kicking off the holidays, Ralph Lauren style. 🧸🎄✨☕️ 🍪👖🎁 #RLHoliday We stumbled upon the @ralphlauren holiday pop-up in West Hollywood this weekend and it was pure magic. A “Simply Spontaneous Saturday Social” indeed! The highlights: ☕️ Iced coffee & treats from @ralphscoffee 🌿 Designing our own holiday wreath (proceeds went to charity!) 🍊 The smell of dried oranges & cinnamon sticks is now filling up our front porch and the wreath custom designed by us looks awesome on our front door! 📸 Plus, we got to meet the Polo Bear!! 🐻 Family fun done simply right and in vintage RL style. Who else is ready for the holidays? 👇🏻 xoxo Troy @simplytroy
