I have been planning weddings for over twelve years and each wedding always holds a special memory to me. It is a special day and no matter how many weddings I see, I always appreciate how important it is to my couples.

Every time I sit down with a couple, I see the excitement and joy in their face. I also see the stress that sometimes comes along with making big decisions when they are trying to put on the event of their lifetime. There are always many factors that come into the planning like, money, parents, religion and trying to please others. I like to reassure them with my experience that it all comes together with organization, creativity, a little humor and of course choosing the right professionals to help guide them through the way.

When it comes down to the planning, I really listen to what the couple wants and envisions not what I just did the weekend before. I take in all their considerations and I help create their ideal wedding. I want to make sure the wedding reflects the couple’s personality and why they fell in love.

My passion for my work comes naturally. There is nothing quite like The Wedding day. Everything happens so fast and you really have to be on your toes. The day is full of greeting guests, dealing with vendors, pinning flowers, sewing buttons, making sure the cake arrives on time, handling small crisis and of course comforting the bride. It’s the best job I can ever imagine. I was born to do this and at the end of a long day; there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a happy couple enjoy the day they wanted when they first met you.
