11.8.24 🤍
The last little sneak from Amber & Carter’s day (for now).
There’s so much I could say but I’ll leave it at this: the first clip of this video just really hits me in the feels. I’m no where near perfect, and I learn a new lesson every single day, but those first few seconds are what I’m most proud of. The best design, timeline, or accolade could ever top the relationships we form with our clients.
To our CBE couples who have placed their trust in us - we love you so. None of this would be possible without you 🤍
Here’s to wrapping up an incredible whirlwind of a year!
What the reel said 🫶🏼 To my engaged couples looking for a planner who loves the details, a good design, and a seamless workflow, you’ve landed in the right place! We are currently booking for 2025 and would love to hear from you via our website or email. Who knows, it could be the start of something really fun and special! 🥂
Two whole years of CBE (!!!), I can hardly believe it. When I think about this last year, all I can think is “all in”. I took the leap and went full-time planning, leaving the safety of my corporate career behind, brought on two incredible team members, dug deep to establish our brand, added 20+ weddings to our portfolio, worked with THE kindest couples, and made some really valued friendships along the way. It hasn’t always been perfect, but it has always felt right. When you know, you know. And I just know there’s no where I’d rather be than right here. Year two was one for the books, but something tells me year three may top it. Ready to bring you all along for the ride 🤍
Between all of the TikTok advice and Pinterest DIYs, are you wondering if a planner is actually, REALLY worth it? If it’s within budget, we obviously give it a resounding yes, and think your vendor team would agree. We get to share a lot of really beautiful things on our feed, but the hours behind the scenes to make it happen don’t ever make the cut. So, what all are we really doing leading up to wedding day? 1.) Vendor selection and management - recommending and securing not just any vendor, but those that we truly think are a good fit for the couple and vision and we trust to provide the highest quality of service. 2.) Budget management - with those vendors comes payments, which all impact your budget. We pay careful attention to this aspect, being strategic with where funds are allocated while keeping our clients priorities top of mind. 3.) Vision realization - taking a Pinterest/mood board full of multiple aesthetics, wishes, and ideas and pulling them together into cohesive, unique design board is our specialty. With almost fifty events under our belt, we’ve never created the same look twice. 4.) Timeline creation - the timeline is the foundation of your day and it’s important that it’s detailed, intentional, and comprehensive. 5.) Guest management - someone has to manage seating arrangements, accommodations, and transportation, and it shouldn’t have to be you. 6.) Problem management - problems are going to arise throughout planning, it’s unavoidable! BUT, it’s our job to anticipate and mitigate those issues before they arise, providing solutions quickly so you can get back to engagement bliss. 7.) Ceremony and reception execution - yeah, those design boards are great but someone needs to be in your corner, making sure it’s executed to expectation. Measurements, delivery times, and the flip schedule aren’t things that need to be top of mind for you! And most importantly, number 8.) Being your biggest support system and cheerleader - whatever
11.22.23 - The Biondolettis 🫶🏼
When we first met Natalie and Nicholas, they shared how important and meaningful it would be to get married on her grandmother’s land with their closest family and friends. We scheduled a walkthrough shortly after and I quickly learned that this day and location was going to tell a story that I couldn’t wait to be a part of.
Overall, the goal was intimate, romantic, and simple. So, on the day before Thanksgiving, we were able to transform what is usually used as storage for equipment, into a dreamy reception space.
It was perfect, personal, and just so…them. Here’s to you, @nataliebevis and @mm90films. We are so grateful we had the chance to celebrate alongside you.
