Kicking off 2025 with a heart brimming with gratitude and excitement! I was honored to recently join on her Podcast to share my journey as a wedding planner, business owner, and proud mom of three.

Since launching my business in 2015, I have had the privilege of crafting over 250 unforgettable celebrations at some of the world’s most iconic venues for truly amazing clients worldwide. Each event and client holds a special place in my heart, and I take immense pride in our award-winning work. However, amidst all the accolades and beauty, my greatest joy and accomplishment remains my role as mama.

In our heartfelt conversation, we dove into the real struggles of balancing a thriving business with the demands of motherhood. It’s completely normal to feel nervous about starting a family while juggling a business, but let me reassure you: it can absolutely be done! Motherhood has gifted me with a unique perspective and competitive edge that enrich my work, making me a better wedding planner and CEO.

I couldn’t do this without my incredible husband, my loving family, and our excellent support system. They are my backbone, cheering me on every step of the way. I am also profoundly grateful for my friends, fellow business owners, and industry colleagues who inspire me, provide honest feedback, and remind me that we’re all navigating this journey together—especially during the messy moments.

To my clients who cherish family and kindness, thank you for believing in my vision to create events and meaningful experiences. Our “no asshole” rule isn’t just a policy; it embodies the compassion and respect I strive to cultivate in both my work and personal life.

As we enter this new year, I am filled with hope and the unwavering belief that we can have it all—successful careers and cherished family moments. Let’s embrace 2025 with open hearts, a fresh perspective, and a commitment to lifting each other.

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner? The last few months have been a creative whirlwind as we’ve partnered with and to sprinkle festive magic into beautiful homes and commercial spaces. From coastal blues to nostalgic hues, velvet bows, and a dash of disco—we’ve been busy with so many fun and festive projects!

Because disco is all about fun, freedom, glamour, and a hint of rebellion, why not blend traditional elements with modern sparkle? ✨ Our friend ’ gorgeous tableware adds the perfect pop of color and joy to complete the look.

Last Saturday, five miles down a bumpy, sandy beach road, we journeyed to The Gurnet, a serene and beloved summer haven in Plymouth Bay. Welcomed by a historic family farmhouse and the billowing sailcloth of a Sperry tent, a celebration of love unfolded against a backdrop of unparalleled beauty and grace.

Dressed in coastal whites, blooming hydrangeas, and soft pops of blue, with a striking and intentional balance of simplicity, Kate and Matt’s wedding was a night to cherish. Yet, the true magic of the evening came from the love that enveloped family and friends, filling the air with pure joy and warmth. We feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of such a beautiful celebration and to witness love in its purest form. Congratulations to the Provosts on a magical beginning!

This past weekend marked the beginning of our 2024 wedding season at Shepherd’s Run, which was nothing short of extraordinary. Haley and Paul’s wedding was a beautiful culmination of some of the finest vendor partners in New England coming together to craft an unforgettable event. The celebration radiated love, joy, and sheer beauty, making each moment special and leaving a lasting impression on all who attended.

The overall design was timeless and classic, gracefully capturing the essence of Haley and Paul’s love story and inspiration with nods to a spring garden party. The day itself was a masterpiece, boasting a breathtaking mix of greens, yellows, and peaches, perfectly reflecting the charm of the vineyard with vibrant spring colors and an array of exquisite florals, including lily of the valley, peonies, and chamomile. A breathtaking fog rolled in just before the Beatrix Ferrand Walled Garden ceremony, creating a magical, romantic atmosphere that lingered throughout the day into the warm spring evening.

The sailcloth tent on the east lawn, with the Narrow River and the main manor serving as backdrops, offered a stunning event experience. Adorned with lush greenery and florals, it was complemented by a custom dance floor, bespoke artwork and stationery, monogrammed linens, and sage green trellis woodworking, to name a few heirloom details.

The start of a new season is always filled with anticipation, and such unparalleled beauty is truly a gift. Here’s to love and unforgettable moments this season and beyond and to the joy of sharing them with you!

We’re excited to share that Katherine and Pat’s quintessential Marblehead wedding, held in September 2023, has graced the front page of !

Their special day was meticulously crafted, each detail carefully considered to capture the essence of the breathtaking coastal landscape. The Corinthian Yacht Club in Marblehead, Massachusetts—K+P’s cherished haven—served as the idyllic backdrop. Embracing the coastal grand millennial aesthetic and drawing inspiration from the allure of historic coastal captain’s homes, every detail was thoughtfully curated to showcase a harmonious palette of serene blue and green tones, complemented by block-printed linens, natural textures, and carefully selected hard goods.

Even a touch of rain couldn’t dampen the splendor of this occasion- only adding to the beauty and resilience of the day. Each element, from the decor to the ambiance, exuded a timeless sense of coastal charm and effortless sophistication.
