✨ It’s been a while since I’ve done a proper re-introduction—so if you’re new here, or newly engaged—hi, I’m Freedom! ✨
I’m the heart behind Plaid Pineapple Events, where I specialize in wedding coordination that bridges the gap between “day-of” and full-service planning. Over the past five years, I’ve had the honor of coordinating weddings for so many incredible couples—and with each event, I gain new experience, insight, and purpose in what I do.
Most couples don’t need someone to plan every single detail—but they do need someone to step in, organize everything they’ve worked so hard on, and make sure it all flows seamlessly. That’s where I come in.
While my official coordination role begins 90 days before your wedding, we’ll connect well before then. I love building relationships early—getting to know your vision, offering vendor suggestions, and making sure we’re aligned before the final stretch.
✨ Each wedding packet I create is carefully tailored to fit the couple’s unique vision and priorities—but always grounded in a solid, logistical structure to ensure smooth timing and flow from beginning to end.
Once we hit that 90-day mark, I step into full coordination mode: creating timelines, confirming logistics, leading your rehearsal, and managing every detail on the day itself so you can truly be present.
And here’s something important to know—every element of the timeline and layout I build has meaning and intention behind it. I don’t just fill in a schedule—I think through the flow, the feeling, and what will serve you, your vendors, and your guests best on the actual day.
For example:
• I also strategically seat family members during the ceremony processional. Instead of placing the bride’s family on the “bride’s side” (which ends up behind her), I seat them on the opposite side—so they have a clear view of her face during the ceremony, not just the back of her head. Same for the groom’s family. It’s a small adjustment that makes a meaningful difference for those who want to take in every moment.
• I start with bride and groom portraits immediately after the ceremony—because that’s when emotions are high, your makeup is fresh, and you’re glowing from just saying “I do.” These photos capture the raw, beautiful energy of the moment. It also gives the two of you a few peaceful minutes alone to soak it all in before the pace of the evening picks up. Meanwhile, your family and wedding party can relax and enjoy cocktail hour before we move into group photos.
• Then we go into family portraits, followed by wedding party and final couple portraits, which allows me to transition smoothly into lining everyone up for the grand entrance without unnecessary delays.
• I schedule cake cutting before dinner begins (especially for buffet-style receptions) because it makes sense on so many levels. Your photographer can capture this sweet moment while the setup is still clean and beautiful—with no crowd in the background, since everyone is still seated. That means no one misses the moment, your photographer gets the content they need, and it doesn’t disrupt the momentum of events later in the evening. While guests are moving through the buffet line at their own pace, I’m able to quietly cut and plate the cake behind the scenes—so dessert is ready when they finish eating. It keeps everything flowing naturally, without stopping the party mid-reception.
• For sparkler exits, I light the sparklers from the bottom up so they burn upward and brighter—making for more dynamic, magical photos.
• And yes—I come with a fully stocked emergency kit. From the obvious (safety pins, sewing kit, bobby pins, Advil) to the unexpected (white paint pen, earring backs, glue, stain remover, double-sided tape)—I’ve got it all. Just in case.
I approach every wedding with a tactical and thoughtful mindset, keeping things calm, efficient, and exactly how you envisioned—because you deserve to be present for every beautiful moment.
✨ To my current couples—you’re always welcome to reach out. Whether you want to celebrate a win, vent about the stress, ask a question, or just say hi, I’m here. You’re never a bother—just keep in mind that during peak season, response time may be a bit delayed (but I always follow up with care!).
I’ve been so honored to be part of the Carriage Hill Farms team, but I’m also available to coordinate weddings at any venue. I also take on more than just weddings: from corporate events to engagements, baby showers, and private parties—if there’s a reason to celebrate, I’d love to help bring it all together.
Outside of Plaid Pineapple, I work full-time at Four Seasons Pest Control as the Director of Processes and Efficiencies. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM (and often longer during our busy season), and I’m also a proud mom of two amazing kids. Life is full—and beautifully busy—so for 2026, I will be limiting my wedding bookings to two per month in order to protect my time, energy, and the quality of experience I give each couple.
If you’re planning your big day or a special event and looking for someone who brings structure, heart, and intentionality to the process—I’d love to chat. 💛
