Congratulations!
You’re getting married.

Welcome to your Planning Suite! This is your hub for creating your ceremony. Whether you’re ready to dive into your love story, lock in the logistics, or find inspiration for your vows, you’ll find everything you need right here.

My goal is to make the ceremony the easiest (and best) part of your planning. Take your time; I’m with you every step of the way.

12-6 Months out | 6-3 Months out | 3 Months-2 Weeks out

Phase 1

The Vision & The Vibe

When: 12 – 6 Months Out

This is the dreaming stage. Before we get into the who stands where logistics, we focus on the feeling, this phase is all about capturing your unique dynamic and deciding what kind of atmosphere you want to create for your guests.

A high-level look at our journey together. No stress, just milestones.

Phase 2

The Heart of the Matter

When: 6 – 3 Months Out

Now that the foundations are laid, we start building the content that will make your ceremony truly memorable. This is where we focus on the words you’ll say and the songs that will soundtrack your biggest moments.
