Planning an event should be exciting, not overwhelming. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning from the very beginning, guidance as your plans come together, or professional coordination on the day of your event, my goal is to create a celebration that reflects your vision while allowing you to truly enjoy the experience.
Every event is unique, which is why I offer planning and coordination services tailored to your individual needs. From vendor recommendations and timeline creation to logistics, design guidance, and event management, I’ll help ensure every detail comes together beautifully.
My background as a professional wedding photographer has given me a perspective few planners have. After documented weddings for more than 11 years, I’ve had the opportunity to witness firsthand what helps a wedding day flow beautifully - and what can unintentionally create stress.
That experience has given me valuable insight into timelines, vendor communication, and the countless details that help create a relaxed, seamless celebration. I bring those insights into every event I help plan and coordinate.
My goal is simple: to create an event that feels effortless, so you can focus on celebrating the moments that matter most.
Whether you’re just beginning your planning journey or simply need support as your wedding approaches, I offer a range of services tailored to your needs.
Depending on the level of service you choose, planning may include timeline development, vendor communication, logistics management, ceremony and reception coordination, event setup oversight, and much more.
No two celebrations are alike. Some couples want guidance from the moment they book their venue, while others simply need someone to bring all the moving pieces together as the event approaches.
Together, we’ll determine the level of support that’s right for you and create a planning experience tailored specifically to your event.
