My name is Shelia (She’la) Woods, Owner of BackWoodsAffair. My company is an Event Planning and Digital Legacy Service based in the New Jersey area.
MY STORY
Event planning takes a lot of dedication and creativity; my enthusiasm, commitment, and experience encompasses unparalleled organizational and resourceful skills and has led me to create countless memorable moments for clients, family and close friends.
After the Covid crisis, in addition to family and friends reaching the golden years, I have since expanded my BackWoodsAffair portfolio to not only offer Event services, but also Catering services and Digital Estate Planning and Legacy services. I still plan to support my family and friends, but for a fee; as I am an entrepreneur “chasing the bag” and loving it!
The Details Matter - from the announcements to the thank you for coming, to the rest in peace, no detail is overlooked; tying together all the essential details from design and production to operations and management; creating an impressive event or legacy document with rates that are affordable.
BWA extends a free initial 1-hour Consultation, in-Person or Virtual.
