Happiness is a passion of mine. Bringing a smile to your face, that moment when you see just how everything has come together, bringing your vision to reality... That is what drives me.

Helping others, creating beauty, and bringing joy and positivity into other's lives is what I do. It's what I love.

I am a mom, a wife, a sister, a daughter, and a friend. I am a dreamer, and I am a believer.

I have a background which prepares me perfectly for every wedding and event which I coordinate. I grew up around weddings with a mother and friends in the industry. In college, my first direction was in art, architecture, and interior design. In school, I also studied and worked in photography, furthering my understanding of light and design composition. A change of course would earn me a degree in psychology, and from there, I worked for 9 years with mental health clients and victims of crime. I began my business as a side hustle; Something beautiful and happy, in a world where I was surrounded by trauma and crisis. Eventually, my side hustle grew to be more than just that, and I was inspired to leave the security of employment to pursue my passion... this journey... as a full time wedding planner and entrepreneur.

Since then, my husband and I have welcomed our 2 sons, Finn (age 3) and Merrick, into the world. (If you have a meeting or phone call with me this year, you may get to meet our newest addition!) Parenthood has been a huge, but amazing challenge. This life, this balance... I am so lucky to be where I am, raising my family, and to have the opportunity to build my dreams and to work with such amazing couples, vendors, and team mates. I love my life.
