When you hire a wedding planner, you’re not just hiring someone to manage a timeline.

You’re trusting them with one of the most emotional, high-stakes days of your life.

We are there when the bride takes a deep breath before walking down the aisle.

We calm nerves when the mother of the groom gets teary-eyed.

We ensure every detail—the ones that mean the most to you—are executed with precision.

It’s more than just planning.

It’s about understanding, anticipating, and delivering an experience that feels effortless.

💫 Luxury isn’t just in the design. It’s in the feeling. And that’s what we get to create.

I was 17, standing in the middle of the patio at the South Thompson Inn, surrounded by candlelight and anticipation.

I wasn’t the planner—I wasn’t even supposed to be involved.

I was just a guest at a close family friend’s surprise wedding.

The risks were high. What if he said no? What if the moment didn’t land the way she dreamed?

It wasn’t a disaster waiting to happen, but there was a wonder to it all—a fragile, fleeting chance to create something unforgettable.

And unforgettable it was.

To this day, I remember that wedding almost as vividly as I remember my own.

It was the first time I thought “I would love to give this to people.”

The first time I realized how a single night—when done right—becomes a memory people carry forever.

Fast forward to now…

I create those moments on purpose.

Events that feel effortless, elegant, and impossible to forget.

📩 DM me “WEDDING” if you’re ready for a wedding that people will remember for a lifetime.
p.s- Only 5 spots left for 2026! I am booking up fast!

You’re busy.

Your career, your family, your life—it’s already demanding enough.

But now, you’re supposed to plan a high-end event on top of it?

Most high-achieving clients think they can do it all—until they realize:

They don’t have the time to manage the details. Vendor calls, menu tastings, seating charts—each decision takes longer than expected, and before they know it, deadlines are looming.

They assume luxury planning means “just picking the best of everything.” But true luxury isn’t about excess—it’s about precision, intentionality, and effortless ex*****on. The wrong mix of vendors, designs, or logistics can turn an elegant event into a chaotic one.

They try to oversee everything themselves—until they’re drowning in details instead of enjoying the process, they feel exhausted, worried about missed deadlines, and stressed about unexpected hiccups.

This is exactly why high-profile clients hire an expert planner—not just for aesthetics, but for seamless ex*****on.

I can help you take everything off your plate while ensuring every moment of your event is flawlessly curated.

You show up. You enjoy. You celebrate. I handle the rest.

Let’s plan an event that doesn’t just impress—it leaves a legacy.

There’s a lot of advice out there on what to do for your event, but there are three things you simply cannot afford to skip if you want your event to be flawless.

Every event is unique, but no matter the occasion, these three tips will make or break your success.

1️⃣ A Strategic Timeline
This isn’t just about scheduling when guests arrive or when dinner is served—it's about crafting a seamless flow for the entire day. Every transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception should feel effortless. Timing is EVERYTHING. And don’t forget to account for those unexpected delays (we all know they happen).

2️⃣ Cohesive Vendor Coordination
Your vendors need to be on the same page and work in harmony—not just show up and do their job. Creating a team of professionals who communicate effectively with one another is key to ensuring that every part of your event flows seamlessly. From the photographer to the florist to the caterer—everyone must work towards a single vision.

3️⃣ Guest Experience—The Hidden Layer
What most people forget is that a luxury event isn’t just about how it looks—it’s about how it makes people feel. From the moment your guests arrive, they should feel taken care of. Think about transportation, comfort, personalized touches, and the small details like a thank-you gift or a curated experience. A luxurious guest experience is unforgettable, and it elevates everything.

💡 If these tips feel overwhelming, don’t worry. I’ve got your back. From the timeline to the vendors to the smallest guest detail, we ensure these elements come together flawlessly so you don’t have to stress.

Let’s make your event the experience of a lifetime—send me a message if you need support turning your vision into a seamless reality.

Planning your event should be exciting, not stressful.

But when unexpected fees start popping up—extra charges for things you didn’t account for, hidden expenses that seem to come out of nowhere—it can quickly turn your dream day into a nightmare.

You’re budgeting for one thing, and then all of a sudden, the costs start piling up in ways you didn’t expect.

It feels like you’re losing control, and the anxiety begins to set in.

You want everything to be perfect, but those surprise costs make you second-guess every decision you make.

With me, you won’t have to worry about that.

Transparency is key.

From the very beginning, we’ll go over everything so you know exactly what to expect, no surprises.

What you see is what you get—no hidden fees or last-minute charges.

You deserve peace of mind when planning your event, and I’m here to make sure you get it.

Let’s create something extraordinary without the stress of unexpected costs.

You’re in the early stages of planning your event, and suddenly, it feels like there are a million things to consider.

You’ve got a long list of decisions to make, and honestly, it’s starting to feel overwhelming.

Should you start with choosing a venue or finding the perfect photographer?

Do you focus on the theme first, or is it the catering that should come first?

Every direction you turn, there’s another choice to make, and it’s hard to know where to start.

It’s completely normal to feel lost at this stage.

You’ve probably got a vision in your head, but when you try to break it down into steps, everything feels like it’s too much to handle at once.

The choices are endless—venues, vendors, decor, food, entertainment, guest lists... how do you prioritize? How do you know what’s truly important in the sea of decisions?

This is where many people get stuck.

The planning becomes paralyzing, and before you know it, the joy of bringing your vision to life feels more like a chore than a celebration.

The truth is, trying to tackle everything yourself right from the start can easily lead to stress and frustration.

Instead of diving into decisions without a clear path, it’s crucial to have a plan—a strategy to help you take each step with confidence.

Having someone to guide you through these early stages can make all the difference.

A professional planner helps you sort through all the choices, clarify what matters most to you, and set a clear path forward, so you don’t feel like you’re drowning in options.

With the right support, the planning process can feel exciting again, and you’ll be able to enjoy the journey, not just the end result.

You don’t have to figure it out alone—let the planning be as enjoyable as the big day itself!

A few days ago, I got a referral from a client I worked with 2.5 years ago.
It’s a reminder of how much an event can mean—not just in the moment, but long after it’s over.
I shared the news with my husband, Nick, and as we talked about it, I realized how much it resonates with me.
We were reflecting on our own experiences and the events that have left a mark on us.
It’s not just about the décor or the logistics—it’s about the feelings, the connections, and the memories that last.
When someone trusts me enough to recommend me to others, it tells me that we didn’t just pull off an event—we created something that made a lasting impression.
That means so much to me.
To know that a client is still thinking about their event with gratitude, years later, and sharing it with others?
That’s the kind of impact I strive for.
It’s why I put everything I’ve got into making sure every single detail is just right.
I want the experience to be something they’ll always remember—and when you’re able to create that kind of impact, it’s worth every bit of effort.
Event planning isn’t just about making everything perfect for one day. It’s about crafting a meaningful experience that stays with you long after the last guest leaves.
If you’re looking to create an unforgettable event that leaves a lasting impression, I’d love to help bring that vision to life.

PSA: Your event should be all about you. While everyone will have something to say, it’s your vision that should come to life.

You’re sharing your Vision of your Event and you’re probably hearing a lot of well-meaning advice.
Your friends, family, and even coworkers all have their own ideas about what your event should look like, who should be invited, and how everything should feel.
It’s natural to want to make everyone happy, but here’s the thing: this is your moment.
You know deep down in your gut that not every suggestion is what you really want, but there’s that voice—the people-pleasing Penny—telling you to just go along with it.
Easy Penny, stay back!
This isn’t about trying to meet everyone else’s expectations.
This event is about you—your style, your personality, your vision.
It’s easy to get caught up in the pressure to please everyone, but in the end, it’s what you want that matters most.
You deserve an event that truly reflects who you are, not one that’s shaped by what others think is “perfect.” Whether it’s a sophisticated wedding, a milestone birthday, or a luxury corporate event, every decision should feel like it’s a reflection of you.
I’m here to listen, guide, and make sure your vision stays front and center.
No more second-guessing or compromising just to avoid disappointing anyone.
I’ll take care of the details so your event doesn’t just meet expectations—it surpasses them.
It’s time to create the event you’ve always dreamed of.
Let’s turn those ideas into reality, without the chaos of competing opinions.

Ready to make your vision come to life? Let’s chat today and start planning an event that is all about you.

You’re thinking of a DIY Event, but then you realize all the extra stress it will bring…

Planning a luxury event isn’t just about ticking off a list of tasks.
It’s about creating the exact atmosphere you envision and making sure every detail—whether it’s the décor or the schedule—falls perfectly into place.
I’ve heard the horror stories of people trying to plan their own events.
The stress involved makes it almost impossible to enjoy any of it.
The last thing you want is to be scrambling at the last minute, feeling overwhelmed, and missing out on the moments that matter most.
Trying to manage everything yourself often leads to stress, burnout, and frustration.
With so many moving pieces—like handling vendors and keeping everything on track—it’s easy for things to slip through the cracks.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
When you work with an experienced planner, you get to step back and leave the stressful details to someone else.
You can actually relax and enjoy the event, knowing that everything is being handled by someone you trust.
I’ll make sure your vision comes to life—without the hassle or worry on your end.
You deserve to be present at your own event, soaking in the experience.
Let me take care of the details so you can focus on what truly matters: your guests, the special moments, and creating unforgettable memories.

Let’s turn your vision into a reality.

Together, we’ll create something timeless.
