How I help
more about my event planning and wedding planning services
Here's a little secret... extraordinary, one of a kind weddings don't just happen. They're planned, well-prepared, and professionally executed. With an average of 15 vendors to hire it's easy to see why nearly 60% of couples otherwise exceed their desired budget by thousands of dollars when planning on their own.
Knowing where to start the planning process is often stated as the number one frustration for newly engaged couples. Hiring a planner is one of the smartest first steps you can take.

SERVICE OVERVIEW
1
one time planning consultation
I believe everyone can have a spectacular wedding. Knowing where to start, what to prioritize, and why certain details can't be missed makes all the difference in your planning experience and forever memories.
We'll spend up to two hours together reviewing your details and dreams. You'll walk away with the same list as my clients so you can have the day you deserve.
2
rehearsal dinner planning
Can you really expect your parents to know what kind of rehearsal dinner you want them to arrange for you? And wouldn't it be lovely if they could spend the time before your wedding celebrating with in-town guests, and not finalizing last minute rehearsal details?
Allow me to help them, or you directly, and plan the perfect night. No matter what your style is I'll make sure everything is set up and ready to go. That's one more thing you can cross of your list.

invitation suite & rsvp management
invitation suite & guest rsvp management
Don't have the time (or the desire) to prep, package and mail your own Save the Dates and invitations? Can't say I blame you.
When you book your planning package, don't forget to ask me to add this service!
Standard service covers up to 150 guests and includes invitations, mailing details, and managing guest RSVPs.
4
hourly add-on service
Because sometimes things come up unexpectedly, or there's a few items that extend beyond the standard scope of your package I also offer the option for hourly add-on services.
What this means for you is that I'm guaranteed to be available to help you out, no matter what comes up. Consider it your stand-by service option for when you find yourself in a pinch.

the yoga bride
I'm a big fan of couples prioritizing their day with the things that mean the most to them. Obviously, a wedding planner helps tremendously with the ebbs and flows of planning your special day.
But just in case things start to feel hectic, I have partnered with The Yoga Brides to offer all my couples a private yoga class for creating mindfulness and peace. Even with the smoothest planning process, it's still the most delightful way to prepare, ground yourself and be fully present on your wedding day.

planning your destination event
A destination event might have you traveling to a state near me where you need a local planner to help with the logistics from afar. Or, it might be taking your special celebration to a special place.
I'd be thrilled to help you make that happen. Same great service guarantee, just for further away. I'll help you adjust the typical planning process for your location. We'll cover everything together.
Mention destination when you send me your inquiry and we'll be sure to confirm the details during your complimentary consultation call.
