On a rainy Saturday in May, a YEAR ago, we celebrated with Lauren and Trey! It was the sweetest, most intentional ceremony, followed by 200+ guests dancing in the rain with their favorite couple. One of my favorites to date, and I’m so happy we got to be a part of it!

Just a couple of wedding creatives dreaming up event venues and getting excited about plants.
For some reason, Sarah and I never ever take pictures when we’re together, even though we love each other a lot. Thankfully, I have a handy photographer husband by my side most of the time, and I love that he got these shots of us just being us. 🩵

Just a little peek into the fun we had celebrating Addi and Steven! Y’all, when I tell you that this couple and their family and friends were an absolute dream. I was chatting with about reliving this day, and we both wished we could work with these two again and again.
So happy to share these with you - more to come. 🩵

Springtime has got us reminiscing on Lucy and Matt’s joy-filled wedding last May. 🍀
We believe every wedding should reflect the couple’s vibe and personality, and the season is a huge aspect of that.
Spring is curious and whimsical and joyful and fun. So excited for the spring weddings to come!

We ask every couple who books with us what is most important to them on their wedding day. For Rachel and Nick, it was spending a relaxing weekend in the woods with some great food and wonderful people. They could not have picked a better venue!
This friends-and-family-focused wedding was so heartwarming. Everyone had a great time mingling outside with the soft sounds of the waterfall in the background.
My favorite moment was when the couple gave a surprise gift of flower bouquets to each other’s parents as part of their wedding ceremony!
The weekend was a perfect fit for these two, and you could feel how the flexible schedule and casual setup relaxed them. As we were leaving, I went to say goodbye to the bride who was relaxing in the hot tub with her closest friends, and she was so happy!
Your wedding should reflect who you are - as individuals, and as a couple. Remember that you don’t have to do everything on Pinterest, or everything that you’ve seen at other weddings. Do what makes you happy. 🩵

We call them “All you need” elopements because you can choose exactly what’s right for you. Whether you just need an officiant and a location (and maybe a couple witnesses), or you want to add flowers, cake, photos, or more, we have all the options! Let us help make your elopement perfect and worry-free. 🩵
Kind of in love with this photo that I just stumbled across. This was such a cool elopement during the first frost of 2022 with the best, & ✨

In every wedding, there are one or two things that really stand out and stay with you.
For Nathan and Michael, what stands out to me is the joy on their faces, how happy and excited they were, how much fun they had, and how their friends and family were a huge part of that. Their support group, especially their parents, stand out in my mind as one of my favorite wedding memories ever. Their parents and wedding party were there to make sure that the day overflowed with joy, and that’s exactly what happened. Everyone was just so happy and loving, and it makes my heart smile every time I think about these two!
When I look back on Nathan and Michael’s wedding day, I see what I wish for every one of my couples - a purely joyful and worry-free celebration. I’m so thankful to everyone who was a part of their weekend for making it so special for them. 🩵
- shoutout to Eliza for always capturing the most HEARTFELT images!

The new year has got us thinking about fresh starts, living life to the fullest, and prioritizing relationships with the ones who matter most.
This past September, Tory and Nick came together with their people for a weekend full of community and renewal. They hosted trail runs, hikes, yoga, lake activities, meals, and of course, the most beautiful celebration of marriage and the beginning of their life together.
We love happy, fun couples like these two so much! We love the weddings that celebrate friends, family, fellowship and love, and we can’t wait for all the awesome celebrations to come in 2024. ✨🩵

A genuine connection with local vendors and a love for people in love - these two things sparked Squirrel’s Nest Events, and they have been our focus ever since. We are all about making sure our sweet couples are excited and worry-free during planning, and connecting them with the most perfect vendors for their vision and budget. With our signature wedding option, these goals are instantly met, plus there’s a wonderful bonus of creative freedom for us and our vendors that doesn’t come with traditional wedding planning. This creativity brings elements of love and passion into our signature weddings that goes above and beyond. I wish y’all could see how excited everyone is through the planning process and during setup in wedding day, just waiting to see everything come together so beautifully. I can’t tell you how thankful our couples are to be able to completely relax during planning, and feel like guests at their own wedding. These events are our absolute favorite thing - it’s a perfect experience for each couple, and so much fun for our vendors! Reach out to see what our signature weddings are all about!

Wrapping up wedding season for 2023 and I am just so thankful for my amazing couples. Especially those who trust me as much as Peggy and Christian did!
They were planning from afar, and they chose one of our signature weddings, which are my absolute favorite. We had a conversation about budget, stress factors, and what was most important to them, and then they allowed me to make all the decisions based on their vision board and budget. This is such a fun option for me, and it allows my couples to truly enjoy their engagement. On wedding day I heard Peggy say “This was exactly what I wanted - I get to feel like a guest at my own wedding”. For me, this was the perfect way to end my year. Thank you, Peggy and Christian, for being so wonderful!

These sweethearts celebrated their anniversary last month, and they also started a new great big life adventure, so I wanted to give them a shoutout. On top of having the most amazing wedding with every beautiful fall detail at the perfect venue, they are incredible humans, and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to meet and spend time with them both. A+B, a belated happy anniversary and congratulations!!

Fall is by far the busiest time for our family. 3/4 of us have birthdays in fall, and we of course have to celebrate both anniversaries. Add in the fact that this is peak wedding season for this photographer/planner duo. Crazy times! Thank y’all so much for all the birthday and anniversary wishes, and for the love and support. Sometimes with our jobs, it’s hard to stop checking emails long enough to enjoy a whole day with family. We are working on creating that balance, and we truly have the best clients. Happy October, y’all! 🩵🩵🩵

This past weekend’s wedding at Delaney Ridge was absolutely perfect.

Some couples just pull at your heart strings a little extra. David and Chris’s wedding day will forever be a favorite. I’ve never heard more heartfelt speeches, seen bigger smiles, or witnessed more joyful tears. When you have a couple as completely overjoyed to be getting married as these two, that day stays with you forever. Happy anniversary to David and Chris (and Jasper)! Always loving on your sweet little family. I hope y’all have a perfect day celebrating today!!

Shoutout to all the grooms out there! In this industry sometimes there are a lot of references to brides/bridal things, but y’all, all partners/marriers are equally important and excited to plan their weddings! We see you, we know how excited you are for your wedding day, and we are here to plan with you!

I’ll share more from this BEAUTIFUL gallery soon. But y’all, this is my shameless boast.
As people-pleasers and problem-solvers, a planner never wishes for a hurdle, but when they happen, our skills spring into action to keep things going smoothly. In this instance, for whatever reason, we actually had to create a bustle on the fly. So we did, and I’m telling you, I have never been more proud of any other accomplishment. This lady can DANCE, hard, and that dress wasn’t light, either. The bustle made it through a dance party with the powerhouse Emerald Empire Band, AND the Hora, and it was so beautiful. 🥹 Okay, boast over, but I couldn’t live without bragging just a little bit. 🤷🏽‍♀️
