If you've got little ones walking down the aisle, consider having them walk together! There's power in numbers and less chance of someone getting confused. Also, if you can, make sure they attend your wedding rehearsal! There's no guarantee with children involved, but this raises your chances of a successful processional.

What's your favorite song to break it down to? I'm personally a big fan of some Lizzo on the dancefloor

Looking to host a last minute fundraiser this holiday season? Read some how-to's on the blog!

The idea: a magical afternoon of festive family fun, complete with hot cocoa bar, ornament decorating, letters to Santa, and of course, a killer Christmas concert by local band Matthew Bell & the Next of Kin.

I got to share my business story with Voyage Dallas! I LOVE what I do and was honored to be a part of this series!

Today we’d like to introduce you to Becca Schmitt. Hi Becca, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story? I started my career in event planning right out of college, almost completely by accident. I was looking for a job in writing, editing, or something remotely re...

Happy Halloween! What are your spooky plans for tonight? Personally, I'm a big fan of handing out candy, but my neighborhood isn't a popular spot for trick-or-treaters, so I usually end up eating it all myself 😅

Beer burros (like these pictured from my friends at ) make the cutest addition to any event and are becoming more popular! They can serve bottled beverages of any kind and your guests are sure to love them.

When you're on a limited budget, you can't splurge on everything, but picking a couple unique touches like these donkeys can add that extra pizazz to your event.

Are you a fan of beer donkey trend?

I had a unique challenge earlier this year helping a business owner plan a launch party for her new life coaching business, She Rises. She wanted to introduce her services to the community, while showcasing her offerings in a fun and engaging way.

The concept she brought to me was to combine two activities to draw women in: charcuterie and succulents! Thus, the event was born.

If I had to pick one trend to keep from 2022, it'd be pearls. I LOVE the pearl details we've been seeing this year. In hair pieces, shoes, veils, and more, the simplicity is classic.

I spent the last two months in Europe exploring, working, and filling my heart with a lifetime of memories! I’m back in the States (for now) and ready to crush this season of events, but I’ve got lots of new insight to share and I can’t wait to bring you content to help you plan the destination wedding of your dreams!

Choosing the right venue is an art form. For this themed surprise party, we needed to recreate a 2000s Manhattan nightclub. With some easy modifications and decor, a private downtown office made the perfect backdrop. Little touches, like this tapestry hung behind a window, make all the difference!
