Description

This service is for you if you want someone to handle all of the major pieces of the planning process. While you want to be a part of every decision, you’d prefer to leave the heaving lifting to us so you can enjoy your engagement. We will provide answers to your questions and solutions to any issues that may arise throughout our time together so that things progress smoothly throughout the entire process.

This service is for you if you have started the wedding planning journey but need expert guidance to tie it all together. We step in to fill the gaps-helping you select and coordinate vendors you haven't booked, while keeping your style and budget in mind.

A wedding under 50 guests is considered a “micro wedding.” This service is for you if you’re planning a smaller celebration with close friends and family to celebrate your union. A micro wedding is perfect if you want a wedding and all of its traditions on a smaller scale so you don’t feel overwhelmed by the process and its complexities.

This service is for you if you want to handle all the planning but want a stress-free wedding day. We take over the execution, managing timelines, coordinating vendors, and handling any unexpected hiccups — so you can fully enjoy every moment.
