Meredith Mauro - Owner, Celebrations Couture
Meredith's enduring passion lies in empowering individuals to reach their aspirations and infusing joy into the lives of others. After nearly 25 years in education, both as a teacher and school administrator, Meredith found herself prepared to step away from the school environment, while still yearning to foster connections and provide support to others. Her tenure in the field of education honed invaluable skills in customer service, meticulous attention to detail, innovative problem-solving, and, notably, the art of genuine listening to facilitate others in discovering their true potential. Now, embracing a new professional chapter in the fashion industry, Meredith eagerly anticipates the opportunity to continue spreading joy and fulfillment to others in the form of Celebrations Couture's meticulously curated selection of wedding gowns, prom dresses, homecoming attire, tuxedos, suits, and accessories catering to diverse tastes and preferences. The task is simple, spreading joy one dress (or tux) at a time!
