Stephanie Day

Your Partner in Stress-Free Celebrations, Events, and Adventures

I’m Stephanie, and I believe life’s biggest moments—whether personal or professional—deserve to be celebrated beautifully and stress-free. As the owner of Stephanie Day Events and Travel, I’ve spent over 20 years planning weddings, corporate meetings and events, and unforgettable trips that bring people together.

I wear a few hats in my daily business life—corporate meeting planner, wedding planner, and travel agent, which means I get to help my clients with everything from milestone celebrations and conferences to destination weddings and group travel. No matter the occasion, my goal is to make the process simple, seamless, and enjoyable.

With my industry knowledge and trusted connections, I save clients valuable time, money, and stress. From orchestrating polished corporate gatherings to designing once-in-a-lifetime weddings and getaways, I make sure every detail reflects the vision and purpose behind the event, prioritizing supporting my client’s needs, budget and desired outcome.

At the heart of it all, I love creating experiences that become lasting memories. Because whether it’s a bride walking down the aisle, a team celebrating success, or a family boarding a plane for an adventure, those are the moments that matter most.  Personally, my husband, two (almost adult) kids, rottweiler, and cat fur babies have driven me to grow my business as much as I grew my family over the years.

She takes time to truly understand her clients’ dreams, then pairs them with the right destinations, properties, and experiences through her exclusive network of Virtuoso partners. Whether it’s a river cruise through Europe, a sun-soaked Caribbean retreat, or a tailor-made journey to celebrate life’s biggest moments, every detail is handled with care and intention.

When she’s not scouting new destinations or attending global travel events like Virtuoso Travel Week, you’ll find Jenny exploring the world firsthand—most recently sailing Tahiti and French Polynesia with Windstar Cruises. These experiences allow her to bring back insider knowledge, special perks, and curated recommendations that make her clients’ trips even more extraordinary.

For Jenny, travel isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about connection, joy, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Anna Felix

Wealth Partner, Stronghold Wealth Partners

Anna Felix is a California native and Smart Money Strategist. Her background is in education and linguistic intelligence. Her roles as wife, mother, interpreter, business consultant and business owner were fulfilling and brought her happiness.

When she became a widow in 2010, she felt that she needed to become more financially savvy. Her search left her feeling that there had to be better information. She turned her pain into purpose, and today she empowers women and qualified men to figure out the best way to grow their money using the 3 S’s (Smartly, Safely, and Significantly.) This information is not easily available; it has to be searched for, and it’s necessary to avoid the financial booby traps that our financial system has set for us.

Anna can be your guide, serving as a financial GPS.  She shares strategies for managing financial accounts, investments, insurance, beneficiaries, etc.—so you can make savvy decisions even in a stressful time.

Lisa Rodino

Commercial Finance Strategist & Scalable Growth Advocate

I’m a Commercial Finance Specialist who helps business owners and real estate investors navigate the complex world of funding with clarity, confidence, and strategy. I’m known for going beyond the transaction, taking time to understand each client’s unique goals and crafting financial solutions that support long-term growth.
 
My expertise spans commercial and business lending, credit optimization, and deal structuring. But my work doesn’t stop at securing capital. I empower women-led businesses to scale sustainably, without working longer hours or taking on more clients, by leveraging simple tech and turnkey systems that expand visibility and unlock new revenue streams.
 
Whether I’m structuring loans, optimizing credit, or guiding clients through specialized programs like PPP, ERTC, SETC, or the Visa/Mastercard Settlement, my goal is always the same: to deliver solutions that align with each client’s vision and circumstances.
 
With a background in healthcare, I bring a rare blend of empathy and precision to everything I do. That experience taught me how to lead people through high-stakes decisions with care and clarity, skills I now use to help entrepreneurs build stable, scalable, and profitable businesses, even in unpredictable economic climates.
