How it Started…
Hi beautiful friends,
We wanted to share a little bit of the story behind Crowned: A Prom for Moms, because it truly comes from our hearts.
Long before there was a red carpet, a DJ, or sparkly dresses, there were just two moms — the two of us — talking endlessly about how much we all crave a place to simply be seen. A place where women could show up, feel supported, laugh together, and remember the parts of themselves that sometimes get buried under the roles we carry.
The idea of a “prom” came from something so simple:
We wanted a night where we could get dressed up again.
A night where we could get ready with our friends, laugh in the mirror, and feel that familiar excitement build.
A night to dance to good music with women who just wanted to have a good time.
A night where we could get ready with our friends, laugh in the mirror, and feel that familiar excitement build.
A night to dance to good music with women who just wanted to have a good time.
No bar hopping.
No figuring out where to go next.
No guys bumping into us or getting in the way.
Just a night where we could set down the “mom,” “wife,” and “partner” hats — even for a few hours — and step back into ourselves.
So we created Mom Prom… and what we didn’t expect was how big it would become. It was never just about one night. It became a spark, a gathering place, a reminder for so many of us that we’re still whole, vibrant women underneath all the responsibility.
And that’s why we’ve grown it into Crowned — because this community deserves more. More connection, more joy, more moments that remind us who we are.
Our dream is to continue building a space where women feel held, inspired, and celebrated.
A community that lifts each other up.
Events that bring us together in the best ways.
And memories that last long after the music stops.
Thank you for being part of this with us.
We are so honored to create this magic alongside you.
With so much love,
Sally & Karly
