A Wedding Planner creates an intentional, comfortable, trustworthy environment.

We guide you through the process and we make it feel seamless and effortless. We handle all the email exchange, phone calls, scheduling and contract reviews. We manage the timeline, your payment schedules and your budget.

We keep you in the loop and updated throughout the entire process.

We chat on the phone with you, text with you, spend time with you and your family and basically become your new favorite relative! 🙂

Wedding Planning Tip: Make sure you like your Wedding Planner! On a personal level. Make sure you feel a connection. You become really close with this person so you want to like them.

Wedding Planners are not doing this just to build their own portfolio, they are here because they are passionate about what they do.

This is our job. We have planned countless weddings. We know how to make it easy and stress free. Why wouldn’t we share that with the world?!

We know how to save you a bunch of money & time. We are here to share our knowledge and give you an exceptional experience for one of the most amazing moments in your life. Trust us. 

Wedding Planning Tip: Don’t feel guilty for not wanting to plan your Wedding. Let someone else who has the experience do it for you. It is way easier and much more fun!

Think of it this way… If you wanted to make your own wedding gown to save money you could do a lot of research, pin every dress idea that you love, watch countless webinars, read designer blogs, research the best lace & fabric in the industry, teach yourself how to sew and dedicate countless hours putting your dress together.

Yeah, you could do it.

But why wouldn’t you just let a professional do it? They educated themselves, made mistakes and perfected their craft and found the best deals for the greatest fabrics. This would be your first time, and you are trying it out on your wedding?!

Ok so maybe making your own dress is a stretch but it is not much different than trying to plan your own wedding.

Meet with a Planner and find someone who you can trust and creates an intentional comfortable environment. You two are going to be really close so, as I said before – BE SELECTIVE!
