Well, hello friends! Gabby Sharp here!
I thought this was an excellent opportunity to reintroduce myself again.

Born and raised in the great state of 208!
I turned 28 this month, and I’m coming up on my third year planning and coordinating in the wedding industry.

After leaving my first full time job of almost 7 years with the Better Business Bureau, all I wanted to do was focus on the business I was building from scratch, and weddings weddings weddings. My husband and I purchased a fixer upper home in Kuna two months later, that is still, very much, a work in progress.
We quickly realized I needed to continue working…elsewhere. But I wasn’t just going to work anywhere. I can only do what my heart truly wants to do, and without a doubt, I thought of no other place than my local Subaru store that I wanted to work for.

I interviewed to be a Lot Attendant, and though I didn’t get that position, I couldn’t have imagined what ideas they had for me instead.
Becoming both the Compliance Officer and Dealership Admin, it’s my duty to safeguard guest and company privacy. I absolutely love what I do day in and out.
I’m returning home today from the Subaru National Business Conference; this photo was taken while I was there. Subaru of America recognizes 6 employees (representing the 6 stars in the Subaru logo) who go above and beyond every day in what they do.
I was selected as one of the semi finalists, which was SUCH an honor! I’m beyond grateful to not only be working for the best automotive brand, but to have been recognized amongst hundreds of other nominees.
If you don’t know, now you know. Outside of weddings, you’ll find me with my second family, at Larry H. Miller Subaru!

Love…it’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru.

I might as well face it, between Weddings on the weekends and Subaru on my week days…

I’m addicted to LOVE!!! 🤍

A story book of a wedding day… 📖✨

The couple, their family, their friends. The photos captured this elegant day exactly as it was. So much love for these two precious humans!!

Shout out to — the one behind the Wooden LED signage! He’s local, and loves creating custom designs for anyone! I’ve referred many of my couples his way. Hit him up for your own custom, beautiful, wooden LED (dimmable 😉) sign!

Today’s my birthday!!! 🦀 🎂 🎉

Ever since starting my business, planning and coordinating for weddings and all sorts of special events, I truly feel I’ve found my calling. I just like helping people, it’s as simple as that. I believe every couple deserves a planner/coordinator no matter what their budget is. I have bent and twisted myself for the last couple years to make others happy, and at the end of the day… that’s really all that matters to me. If you’re happy, I’ve done my job right!

AND WITH THAT! What better way to kick off my day than to offer a great deal for newly engaged 2025 & 2026 couples!

FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF JULY—
I’m offering $300 off services for new clients who book with me through the end of this month.
ALREADY MARRIED? Even better!
Couples referred by one of my previous clients will receive an even BIGGER deal!

For my bday, I ask that we all reflect on gratitude for one another. I cannot continue doing what I do without the support of all of you! My couples, my friendor-vendors!! You all mean so much to me, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support!

Big thank you to for this super fun shoot we did my first year in business.
Felt appropriate to share this one for today! 💕

🎈🥂 XOXO

These two have such a radiant love for each other.

Nani and Ben, along with their family (yes I really mean that!) hired me in early 2023 for their June 1st wedding.
Every planning meet had so many helpful people involved, it was a truly amazing experience having their families collectively being involved!

I’ve said it before— life long friendships with my couples is the biggest compliment I can receive.
But this family? I definitely feel I’m a part of it now.

MAHALO 🌺🌿💜

✨The Jurbans✨

I cannot say it enough, I LOVE my couples! And I love recommending the best vendors for their best day.
Congratulations again!!

XOXO

4 weeks ago, my friends said “I DO!”
It’s such an honor to help some of my closest friends and family members on their wedding day. As always, couldn’t have done it without the amazing team on our side!

Happy Mother’s Day to all! 💐🌞💕

I wouldn’t be who I am today without my mom, who I’ve always called “mamas.” We had some fun at and the Five Mile nursery picking out our fleurs to plant for the season!

Thank you for the ADORABLE Mother’s Day box with cake and a mini bouquet! 🍰

And of course, had to grab a bundle of soft pink peonies from ~ her favs. 🌸

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful Sunday day!

Dearest husband,

Did you always know we’d make it in life together?
Did you know we’d encounter so many adventures and difficulties?
And through it all, our love remains, what was, still is.

Little did you know, my obsession for you and our love would completely consume me, I didn’t know what to do with all of this love. Until, I made a business of it.

I’m home late on the weekdays for meetings, and I’m robbed of weekends without you. But still you remain, still, you encourage me, and still, you are proud of this love I am able to share with others. My heart overflows with the love I have for you, and I’m so grateful to share the same love to each and every one of my couples.

I cannot teach this to anyone, and no one can learn this from me. It’s simply what makes me, me. The very foundation of what helped to shape, Sharp Planning.

Happy Anniversary, mon éternité. 🤍

xoxo

When “Classy Sophisticated” meets your fun side…🪩

After all, it’s your wedding day, have it the way you want! That’s exactly what Courtney + Dustin did combining soft florals and lush greenery with pops of so…many…disco balls! 🤩
Featured on guest tables, the seating chart, cocktail stirring sticks and yes, even their cake! Not too little, and never too much!

These two have my heart forever.

🌸 Amour Spring 🌸

The season of new beginnings, fresh blooms, and so much love.
The groundhog says it’s going to be an early spring, so I’m holding him to it! 🦫

Madison + Jack were married in April last year, we had so much fun together. One of the few wedding parties who I deeply connected with and wanted them ALL as my friends! I love these two, and all of their people.

A great vendor team really makes the day, I cannot stress this enough.
I had an excellent idea of repurposing the florals down the aisle to guest table centerpieces, and I’ll continue to use this money-saving hack, for life!

I’m not super great at updating on Facebook as much as I am on Instagram… but I wanted to let everyone know, I have select availability for November and December dates.
Otherwise— I am BOOKED FOR 2024! 🎉

Looking forward to another beautiful eventful year! 🍊🌿✨

The Carters were the whole vibe on NYE! 🖤🤍

The best first look reaction, from everyone. 🖤🤍

For Kristal and Chris, married on New Years Eve… I knew they had to do a First Look in order to get pre-ceremony photos together and with their wedding party before we lost sunlight at 6pm.
At the same time, I knew the Bride’s son was just hanging with all the guys anyways.

So… why not have him involved too?
And I’m so glad we did.

Thank you for creating such movie-like art
✨ ✨

With my breath taken away, I’m honored to experience these moments with my own eyes.
More of this incredible night to come!!

01/09/2024

I love when couples know exactly how they want their day to look…and feel…🕯️🌺🍂

Melissa + Colin were married in the most gorgeous October month. Each time I saw these two, they had the biggest smiles on their faces, all day long! Not only did the bride make her own bouquet and all the floral arrangements, she also made her own wedding dress that everyone couldn’t get enough of!

The day simply felt, magical.

12/28/2023

2023 is coming to a wrap… but not without completing a NYE wedding!! I’ll be closing out this weekend with a bang— my 32nd wedding of the year. 🥂

32 weddings… 32 beautiful couples who instilled their trust into me to help bring a strong team of vendors together, timelines in order, and ensure all needs were listened to, cared for, and met. When I began planning and coordinating just last year, did I think I was going to be booked and finishing this year with 32 weddings? No. Will I do it again? Most likely… not.

Leaving my full time job of 7 years with the Better Business Bureau, learning the ins and outs of good business practices and ethics in different industries… I finally found what I truly enjoy most— helping others, and love! Thus began Sharp Planning. It was a quick turn around after my husband and I purchased our first home in October last year, that has no doors, no baseboards, a kitchen with no drawers, the list goes on… and the list isn’t cheap, so I went back to work. Doing so, I knew I wanted something I loved as much as I love weddings. Ladies and gentlemen, my second life, working for Subaru.
Monday - Friday, and every weekend with a wedding or two, and not a dull moment in between.

This new year, I’m finding time to enjoy doing things for myself again. Jack and I have a whole project home that stares at us in the face every day. We’re ready to roll up our sleeves and finally get to work on it, together.

This is not a step back from business, business is still as usual. This is only a graceful reminder to myself that I am my own person who has their own life too. I should enjoy my time off without feeling like I shouldn’t be. More time for friends, more time with my mother, my husband, and the home we are trying, so very hard, to create.

2023 was the busiest and most selfless year I gave myself, and 2024 will be the absolute opposite and just as rewarding.

I’m not one to post photos of myself, but my industry brother helped set the mood for my vision into the new year.

As I tell my closest vendor friends and couples I work with; I’m here for you, for life. And to your support, my gratitude is beyond immeasurable. xx

Oh Wedding Cake… Oh Wedding Cake… 🎶

I hope everyone had a lovely holiday with family and friends surrounding.

back at it again with another beautiful design for Dayna and Cory’s Christmas themed wedding! Not just pretty, but oh so delicious too. There’s a reason I call him Idaho’s King of Cakes!

Christmas of LOVE…♥️

Oh yes they did!
Dayna + Cory’s holiday themed wedding was one I truly looked forward to all year! Can you tell why?!
They didn’t shy on any details for a second.
I know “Planning” is in my name… but I’ll say it again and again— you are the real planners. I just make sure it goes exactly the way you both want.

Huge thank you to the vendors I cherish most and continue to work with xoxo

The gratitude and full heart feels November brings out, has come to surface. 🤎🍂

Reflecting back to Gabby + Matt’s June wedding at the beautiful has me wrapped in the warmth of what this season is all about.

November has always been a reflection month for me. I sit back and look where this year has taken me, where it’s taken others, and where it’s leading us.
I’m incredibly thankful every day for my couples and everyone who I get the chance to help and work with.

Thank you, THANK YOU, all, for the continued support and life long friendships you’ve created with me. Couples, vendors, venue owners, all walks, I give my sincerest thanks to you.

xoxo
