Sofia Gutierrez
Everthine's Founder and Event Planner
Sofia is a proud first-generation Latina who grew up in San Diego, where 16 years of dance shaped her sense of rhythm, detail, and presence. She balanced that creative expression with academic excellence, serving as President of the Academic Decathlon. Leading her school’s Fashion Club, and graduating with numerous honors and scholarships, including a Presidential Award for over 200 hours of remarkable community service at Scripps Mercy Hospital, personally recognized by President Barack Obama. Her creative instincts led her to Los Angeles, where she studied Graphic Design, Business Management, and Visual Communications at FIDM. While completing four internships, her experience ranged from dressing high-profile runway shows, a Century City PR agency, to planning events for her university, like orientations, summer programs, and the annual fashion show. While in school, she joined the West Elm team & quickly rose to become Lead Home Stylist and Visual Merchandiser. Managing a team of seven stylists, while shaping the store’s aesthetic experience. There, she also supported the events department, contributed to social media, and helped launch a digital styling service pilot program. When the world paused during the pandemic, she pivoted to luxury travel, joining Viking Cruises. There, she designed personalized itineraries for ocean, river, and world cruises. Eventually, life brought her to Chicago, where she entered the world of commercial real estate. Sofia led planning efforts for art galleries, holiday parties, tenant appreciation events, and milestone celebrations. Tasked with overseeing logistics for more than 90 businesses, five departments, building vendor relationships and ensuring every event left a lasting impression. And then... something clicked. And that name became Everthine. The heart of a dancer, the eye of a designer, the brain of a strategist, and the soul of someone who truly believes in the magic of moments well planned.

Sofia is truly the definition of magic — she creates moments that make you feel seen, heard, and completely at ease. We were lucky enough to work with her for our wedding dance, an...
d it was one of the best decisions we made. Not only is Sofia an incredible wedding planner, but with over 16 years of professional dance experience, she brings a level of grace, creativity, and care that’s unmatched.
From the very beginning, she made sure we felt comfortable and confident. Our first session was a “vision experience,” where she took the time to really understand us — our song, our story, and the emotions we wanted to capture. She guided us gently through stretching, connection, and the art of intimacy in movement, helping us express love through every step.
She taught us at our own pace, with infinite patience and genuine encouragement. When nerves crept in (especially for the groom!), she adjusted effortlessly — always meeting us where we were, never making us feel pressured or rushed. Sofia went above and beyond: working around our busy schedules, sending us helpful videos, and checking in to make sure we felt confident along the way.
What makes her so special is the safe, joyful space she creates. Even for two people who had never danced ballroom together before, she made it feel natural, meaningful, and fun. Now, we’re not just excited for our first dance (a waltz with awesome lifts!)— we’re proud of it, because every movement tells our story.
We can’t recommend Sofia enough — whether for your wedding dance, planning, or just bringing your vision to life, she is pure magic.
