Danielle and Josh were the sweetest couple! You could tell their love for each other is evident. They had the most beautiful day saying “I Do” on Middlebrook Farm and dancing the night away under a tent next to the garden with an incredible band from KC. No detail was missed on this one 🤍

IT’S OUR 1ST BIRTHDAY! 🎈

One year ago I officially launched Ten Fifteen Events and it’s been a fun journey since.

I’ve learned a lot as a business owner, tried new things, pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone and been a part of some really beautiful wedding days.

Thank you to all of my couples for being so incredible and inviting me to be a part of your day. To the sweet vendors who have welcomed me in with open arms, referred me, given advice, and become such great friends. To my coordinators who help with all of the day-of things to make wedding days smooth. To my friends and family for supporting me always. And to my husband for being my behind the scenes “build it, fix it, load it, pack it” guy, sounding board and biggest cheerleader. I couldn’t do any of this without all of you. So thank you 🤍

I’m eternally grateful and can’t wait to see what another year from now looks like. Cheers and happy birthday, Ten Fifteen 🥂✨

Simple black & white elegance but not a detail missed 🤍

Still swooning over Brooke and Max’s beautiful day. Brooke knew she wanted simple and understated but simple certainly doesn’t have to be boring. From the seating chart to the place cards to the florals to the tablescapes, every choice was so intentional and beautiful.

Brooke + Max 🤍

This crew brought the party and kept it going all night. To know Brooke and Max is to love them and you can tell how loved they are when you’re in a room with their friends and family. You just can’t help but want to have a good time in their presence.

Cheers to the Evans! May you keep the party going for years to come 🥂✨

Brooke and Max’s big day was windier than ever but they embraced it, Brooke rocked the wind-blown hair look like a champ, and they didn’t let it bother them a bit. All the gorgeous photos for proof 🤍

I was talking to another vendor friend this weekend and we were talking about the *value* that wedding planners bring to your big day. Outside of the obvious reasons for booking a wedding planner (timeline, hiccups, etc) do you know the value of what you’re booking?

The value of a planner really comes in their connections, partnerships, the reassurance and peace of mind they’re bringing to the table. They’ll usually save you anywhere from 10-25% of your total wedding costs. Almost a quarter of your budget! They’ll review and negotiate contracts before you sign on any dotted lines. They’ll help solve any issues or snags you run into. And they’ll make sure your day goes off the way you intended.

Having troubles expressing your vision to your florist? We got you.
Caterer insisting that you have paper plates over porcelain dinner plates? We’ll handle it.
Venue sent you a lengthy, complicated contract? We’ll walk you through it and make sure we can agree to all the terms.

Yeah, sure, you’re getting a full timeline and someone to point your vendors to on the day-of. But you’re also getting a lot more than that when you book a wedding planner.
