Your wedding planner
Your story.
Your wedding.
Our expertise.
With a passion for hosting and a knack for planning, I've always been drawn to creating memorable events. My journey in the wedding industry began a year ago, but my love for event planning started long before that.
As a Marketing Manager, I found myself gravitating toward taking on community and business events, which sparked a deeper passion for creating unforgettable experiences. Outside of work, I would take every opportunity to plan events for friends. But it wasn’t until I planned my own wedding that I knew it was time to take the plunge and turn my passion into a full-time career.
My approach to wedding planning is simple: I want to know your story. From the unique "how we met" moments to the proposal that sealed the deal, I believe these personal details are what make each celebration truly special. I work behind the scenes to make sure everything feels effortless so you can soak in every moment of your big day.
Let's work together to bring your dream wedding to life.
