Is This You
You want a dol that is beautiful and correct.
A dol marks a milestone that matters deeply, and it deserves more than a rushed party. The doljabi, the backdrop, the food, the flow of the day, each one is a chance to get it right or to leave the family scrambling.
We plan the whole celebration, in modern or traditional style, so the day is beautiful, the traditions are honored, and the family is present for it rather than running it.
- You want the doljabi and setup done correctly.
- You want it beautiful, and worth the photos.
- You want to honor the tradition, your family's way.
- You would rather be present than run the day.
For The Family
Grandparents included, traditions respected.
We ask what your family wants to preserve, how you want the doljabi handled, and which relatives should take part, then build those details into the plan before the day.
So the grandparents feel honored, the traditions are right, and you get to simply be present with your child.
Want your family's traditions handled correctly? Let's talk →What We Handle
The whole celebration, done with care.
The doljabi
The table and the objects, set up correctly for the moment everyone waits for.
Backdrop & design
A setup worth every photo, in your palette and your style.
The dessert spread
The dohl table and food, beautiful and generous.
Hanbok & details
The attire and the small touches that make the day feel complete.
Guest hosting
A flow that keeps guests looked after and the day moving.
Modern or traditional
Your family's way, honored either direction, with care.
The Difference
A milestone, treated like one.
A dol is over in an afternoon, but the family remembers it for years, and so does the camera. The difference is in the setup, the pacing, and the care for the details you would never have time to handle yourself.
We bring that care, so the day is beautiful, correct, and yours to simply enjoy.
Plan Your Dol →Kind Words
What our clients say.
We wanted our daughter's dol to feel beautiful and traditional without looking dated. Karina understood exactly what we were trying to create, and Eric helped make sure all the planning details were taken care of. We actually got to be present with our daughter and our families.
Sophie & David Kim
Planning a first birthday with a baby is already enough work. Karina took the event completely off our hands, and Eric kept everything organized behind the scenes. We could actually focus on our daughter.
Jessica Lee
The details were beautiful, but what we appreciated most was how easy the day felt. Karina and Eric handled everything around us so we could spend the day with our families.

Good To Know
Dol questions, answered.
What is a doljabi?
The doljabi is the moment the child chooses an object said to hint at their future. We set the table correctly and coordinate the moment so it is calm and photographed well.
Can you do a modern or a traditional dol?
Either. We honor the traditions your family wants and design the rest, modern, traditional, or a blend, to your taste.
How many guests do you plan for?
From an intimate family gathering to a large celebration. We scale the design and the plan to your group.
Do you handle the backdrop and dessert table?
Yes. The backdrop, the dohl spread, and the design are a big part of what we do, built to look beautiful in person and on camera.
Can you host bilingually?
Yes. We host in English and, where it helps, in the family's language, so every guest feels included.
