About the Community
Magic is meant to be shared.
We built this calendar to gather fantasy lovers in one place—where events, stories, and experiences can be discovered with ease. By connecting creators and attendees through a centralized hub, we’re turning scattered moments of wonder into a thriving, connected community.
We believe collaboration over competition strengthens the entire fantasy space, and that shared visibility benefits everyone.
Meet the co-founders:
Tanya D. Fowler
Meet Tanya Fowler, the owner of Bookmarked Weddings and Bookmarked Events & Social Club. With a deep love for romance, imagination, and meaningful connection, Tanya approaches every celebration as a living narrative. Whether curating a wedding day that honors a couple’s love story or designing a magical, fantasy-inspired gathering that invites guests to step into another world, Tanya is known for creating experiences that feel like stepping into your favorite chapter—unforgettable, transportive, and magical.
Kaitrin Acuna
When she’s not pretending to be of the fae, Kaitrin Acuna can be found creating and photographing whimsical events, and helping others build and market their own. She is the creator of The Velvet Jest Connecticut Fantasy Ball, and is passionate about the intersection of inclusion, activism, and fantasy. She is the photographer for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, and has documented the Nebula and Hugo Fantasy awards. When not in the business side of fantasy, Kaitrin spends every free moment working on her fantasy novel and reading worlds by others.
Rachel Avery
Rachel Avery is a seasoned photographer with over a decade of experience. As a creator, she has dedicated herself to turning the magical visions in her imagination into visual narratives.
In 2022, Rachel launched Moon Rae Portraits, a photography venture focused on fantasy portraiture. Here, she brings to life whimsical worlds through the power of lighting, costume design, and creative collaboration. Her photography allows clients to step into their favorite characters, capturing their stories in ways that feel both ethereal and real.
