Friends, colleagues, and clients.
I have some BIG NEWS! This wedding planner will be the mother of the groom! For many years, my son, whom I affectionately refer to online as Boy Wonder, has found the lady of his dreams and asked her to marry him.
Oh, she said YES!!!! EEEK!
We are excited for them both. From Johannesburg, South Africa … she is far from her family, friends, and country. So we welcome her with open arms and enfold her to our family.
The kids want an intimate and small wedding (micro). I am grateful that they said “Yes, Please!” for me to help them navigate and plan the details.
Quick engagements are fun but can be stressful when you don’t know where to start. The most significant benefit is that there is no time to second-guess your decisions. Hiring a wedding planner can be a Godsend in these situations. More information to come!

Happy 31st Anniversary to us! You know we do this every year and I would like to be glammed up, but that just isn't us. Planning a wedding can be difficult but not as challenging as it is to stay married. We have had our ups and downs, but every day we choose us. Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸

Here we go again! The USPS is requesting to raise its rates for First Class stamps, again. They just raised them in January 2024.
If approved, this will take place on July 14th. They are requesting to raise the Forever stamp (and others) from $.68 to $.73.
I'm noticing more and more clients moving towards online RSVPing - for the ease of it, AND frankly, the USPS has not been the best at delivering on time.
If you have an upcoming event, buy your stamps in advance!

Concluding this discussion, if you're going to go with a Sweetheart table, why not try this? I designed this on the brick porch/patio at the private estate wedding. It was perfect. The couple was elevated so they could look out at all of their guests, but they weren't right there next to them. And their wedding party perfectly fit at a larger round table in front of them. I love this so much, and so did the couple. What do you think?
What is your favorite? Estate Table? OG Head Table or Sweetheart table? Comment below!

Here's another Sweetheart table that is cozy, intimate, and dramatic. It's such a win-win, but know you are still on display. Guests can see you at all times.
So, I've been talking about Estate tables or Head Tables, and honestly, they're not for everyone. Sometimes, the wedding party is too big, or there isn't enough room at the venue, or there is no wedding party. What do you do then? Enter the Sweetheart table—a small table that is cozy enough just for two, the couple of hour.
If you're going this route, be sure to make it a show-stopper! Use the ever-popular artificial green shrub backdrop.

Here's a bit of a twist on the OG Headtable: it's in a U-shape. Sometimes, that works well with your venue. I know it's absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful backdrop, like at this wedding. Loved all of the styling.
But if you are going to go with the OG Headtable design for your wedding (that's where the couple and the wedding party face out to the guests, who get to watch them eat 🫣) go BIG or GO HOME. Which is what we are looking at here. What I love about this, besides the sheer gorgeousness of it, is that there is a round table just for the couple, so they stand out a bit. 🤍🤍🤍🤍
This may be my favorite estate table. Why? Because their dog sat politely at the couple's feet while they ate. Who doesn't love that? ME ME ME, I love it!e

In 2020, we will have been in business for 17 years serving the Tri-State. WOW! The years and events have flown by. When I first started this little event planning business, I sought out to do something that fed my soul and also allow me to be in business for myself. Throughout the years, I have forged meaningful and awesome relationships with event professionals that work tirelessly to create special memories. And with my clients that let me (and my team) into their personal lives for a short period of time, but hopefully in their memories forever. It’s quite an honor and a responsibility, as there are no do-overs. You have one shot ... to make it the best celebration possible.
Our event philosophy is simple:
Create an atmosphere for our clients to make the best decisions possible to plan a meaningful event. That includes creativity, guest experience, fun, realizing your financial comfort zone, and designing an event that truly reflects their personality and soul.
Look for moments to create that will be treasured memories forever.
Work collaboratively with other vendors, it is a team effort to create a seamless celebration. As planners, we rally the team and execute your wishes.
Be authentic, real, and laugh! Because life is just too short.
Thank you to all of my previous clients who have trusted me, referred my sweet little business to others and helped the #pfeteam grow. Thank you to all the wonderful event professionals who keep on going, every day, and every weekend. Love you all.
