the whole enchilada aka full-service planning
You know guac is extra, but you don’t care. You’re willing to put forth the extra investment to get what you need (yes, guac is a need most days and to you, a wedding planner + doer is no different). You either simply don’t have the time at this point in your life to oversee the details, you go to Target for one thing and walk out with twenty (okay, there’s a little bit of that in all of us) or you may just want to treat yourself and have a professional do all of the heavy lifting! Just like the menu at The Cheesecake Factory, planning a wedding is overwhelming. You need someone to simplify the process and provide limited, handpicked options that fit your personality, style and budget. You prioritize being present, want to show your guests a dang good time and you value memorable experiences. However, in order to make all of the above a reality, you need a full-service planner + doer to lead you to the promised land. From the moment I'm hired until the last light is turned off, I'm committed to making the planning process enjoyable and your big day unforgettable.
Budget Planning
I work with you to establish priorities, build a custom, realistic budget template, regularly track budget condition and provide guidance on ways to save and where to splurge.
Event Design
You dream, I’ll design. Whether you give me one word, a color scheme, your favorite photo or a collection of inspiration pieces, I’ll use it to create a cohesive design concept (including a personalized end-to-end design kit) and ensure it’s incorporated in every aspect of your event down to the littlest detail.
Project Management + Organization
Dotting i’s and crossing t’s makes my world go ‘round. Fueled by my obsession to check things off lists, I make your planning process smoother than a southern drawl. You and your vendors will never be left to wonder with timely reminders, regular check-ins and a comprehensive wedding weekend timeline.
Event Production
This is when planning turns to doing. Myself and at least one assistant planner will execute your event start to finish. I coordinate your rehearsal and all elements of your ceremony and reception, alleviating any unforeseen crises. Your only responsibility is to show up, look amazing and have the best day ever.
Vendor Sourcing + Management
I source and recommend vendors that fit your budget, style and personality - creating the ultimate team. I review and negotiate contracts and serve as a liaison between you and all hired vendors.
Personal Assistance
At the time of booking, you gain unlimited access to a personal assistant/trusted advisor/adopted bestie for the entire planning process. From scheduling appointments and attending tastings to stamping invitations and song selection, I am here.
Guest Relations
I treat your friends and family like my own. Whether it’s booking transportation, assembling and distributing welcome bags, creating a personalized wedding weekend agenda, providing a list of must-see and do’s or fielding questions, I am committed to cultivating the ultimate guest experience.
Fun Facilitation
I make sure your fun tank is full throughout the entire process. My goal is for expectations to be exceeded, cheeks to be sore from smiling and your event to leave a lasting impression.

homestretch aka wedding management
You’ve booked the venue and other big-ticket vendors. You have the majority of the planning under control, but eventually you want to hand over the reins. You’re used to being the organizer, Airbnb booker, reservation maker, group text leader or you have someone close to you that is - but come the big day you want to be able to let loose, make the main thing the main thing and enjoy your special day with all of your favorite people instead of putting them to work. You prioritize being present, want to show your guests a dang good time and you value memorable experiences. I’ll make sure your plans are protected and that you’re sprinting the homestretch with a smile on your face, not limping and gasping for air.
