Building atmosphere out of a blank canvas requires beautiful, thoughtful aesthetics as well as sincere expectations, flow-driven timelines and well curated vendors.
It's a balance of visual and service and I help you find that balance.
When it comes to a great event - I believe that hospitality is at the heart of it.
"...hospitality is a selfish pleasure - it feels great to make other people feel good"

I offer Full Planning for clients that want me to come alongside them to create the perfect day. I am very hands on throughout the process with venue and vendor meetings / selections, budgeting, contract reviews, design and floorplans, timeline creation, event execution, etc.
I do not offer a traditional Month/Day of Coordinating package, instead I offer Partial Planning. I have found this keeps me in the mix while still allowing the client to take the lead in their planning. Once we hit a month out it's very easy for me to step in with vendors to finalize details. From this point I will coordinate the details all the way through close of your event.

Ideally hiring a full service planner prior to choosing your venue and vendors will provide resources to you that you may not even know you need and can help you manage the budget from the very start.
When considering a planner, make sure your values and expectations align with one another. Your lives will be hyper-connected throughout the planning season - why hire a planner who doesn't connect with you in the ways that matter most?
Discussing event budgets may not be the most glamorous part of event planning, but it's essential for minimizing stress. While I do not have minimums with clients, partnering with seasoned event professionals is crucial which naturally sets a practical minimum on event budgets. This ensures a high standard of service and expertise, essential for a successful and stress-free event.
The primary factors influencing your budget will be guest count and aligning your wishlist realistically (While Pinterest can be inspiring, it may not always fit financial constraints).
Realizing the value in hiring someone who knows the ins and outs / ups and downs of planning a once in a life-time event is essential. I have never known anyone who regretted hiring a professional planner but I often hear regrets from those who don't.
Event planning is time-consuming work that can add unwanted and unnecessary stress to event hosts which ultimately keep them from enjoying the event. Professional planners as well as seasoned vendors are super familiar with the event industry and generally have an instinct for event flow which allows them to move through the planning process smoothly.
