Traci Rushton, Director of Sales

Traci started in the hospitality and specialty event industry in 1989 while attending University of Houston.  After cultivating her knowledge of food and wine in the restaurant industry as General Manager and Banquet Director for several upscale restaurants, Traci transitioned to off premise catering.  Traci served as Director of Sales and Marketing of two premier catering companies in Houston.  Her desire to become more involved with the initial concept and overall production of events moved Traci to a position as an Event Producer with a National Firm.

In 2004, Traci launched her own business, Bash! Special Events, which specialized in designing, planning and executing elaborate social events for both local and national clients.  Let It Fly Events and Ellen Ramsey were a long-time favorite vendor to help bring ideas to life for many of Traci’s clients and in 2018, when Ellen acquired the inventory of another high-end decorator, it was the perfect time for Traci to join the team as Director of Sales and Special Events for Let It Fly Events.  Having worked together for over 20 years, the partnership seemed like a natural progression and has proven to be a successful pairing in creating many more memorable events.

In her downtime, Traci enjoys spending time with her husband Silas, who is in the wine business, her daughter Kelsea, a junior at Texas State University and taking walks with Bella, her Blue Lacy, along the beaches of Galveston.
