Designing weddings, events, and travel experiences to bring your vision to life.

After years of experience and degrees in Event Management & Business - I'm here to make your dreams a reality!

A wedding is but a moment. The memories last a lifetime, the joy seeps into your everyday - but it’s only there to celebrate the love and commitment to one another. Marriage is a lifelong partnership. And I’m so blessed that we’ve conquered the first year, even more in love than when we began it.

My favorite wedding I’ve ever or will ever plan ♥️♥️♥️

Worlds get wider, deeper, taller when you travel.

How’s your world getting bigger lately?

Sometimes it’s the still, small moments that mean the world to us. 2023 is sure to bring many big moments, but I’m excited for the small milestones as well.

I’m still booking weddings into May! And I’ll be back around for bookings in the fall. Baby Smarrella will be able to hear new loves stories all the time ♥️♥️

Planning any event can be a challenge. But the end result is so worth it! I don’t just love the joy of weddings but the fun of Halloween hangs, pre-parenthood parties, and birthday bashes! What’s your next big get together look like?

Traveling inspires the soul. It inspires friendship. It binds us in ways nothing else does. Where do you want to go?

Whether it’s destination with long distance chats and on-location coordinating or in town with hands on planning, the joy of watching the couple finish their perfect day never changes. I love seeing happy, laid back couples run off into their sunsets. It’s a perfect way to end a beautiful day.

Friday we celebrated Lynnette and Peter Smith’s love and commitment to one another! It was my first contracted wedding under The Joy & The Journey and it was packed with emotion and ended with aching feet and smiles. It was such a privilege to walk alongside Lynnette and Peter and a beautiful experience working with The Eden and celebrating all night!

I am so excited for all the wedding, event, and travel coordinating I get to do in the future. I love my job!

Adventure

I think travel is a time to center. It’s a place that brings you life, a new city to explore, new air to breathe. Travel is about connecting to the world around you so you can live with more life, more curiosity, and more compassion. I want to help you find your adventure, your traveling spirit, your journey. I can’t wait to see where it leads.

Day-Of Coordinating

What do you need to make your wedding day precious, carefree, and the most enjoyable it can be? Having a Day-Of Coordinator gives you someone on your side. Someone to take care of all the little things. Someone who makes it so you don’t have to worry about the details. That’s where I come in. How can I make your day just that much more joyful?
