Looking for local country bands who play for weddings.

Hello friends and followers. I wanted to let you know that I have openings for May & June. If you need last minute help with your wedding please reach out and we can discuss your needs. I'm great at last minute requests. Bartending is my main focus this summer but I can decorate, coordinate, and clean up your wedding event as well. My number and email are listed on my page.

Hey friends if you are trying to loose weight, combat inflammation, and/or pain before your wedding date highly recommended you reach out to Dr. Brady Wirick at he is amazing and does free consultations. You have nothing to loose but weight and pain.

Thank you Susie for the beautiful cake you did for my parents 60th Anniversary. If you are getting married I highly recommend Susie. Her cakes are beautiful and delicious.

Wedding season is fast approaching. I still have open spots to coordinate, set up, and clean up your special day. All consultations are free, and I do not do high pressure sales. I simply just want you to know what your options are and give you an upfront cost so you can make an informed decision. I hear all the time from couples and their families that having to coordinate, set up their venue, and clean up the venue for the wedding was stressful and they wish they had hired someone to do it for them. That's where I come in. I save you the stress and time so you, your family, and friends can just enjoy your day. I work with the venue to make sure everything is done correctly to get your deposit back as well. Please call, text, or email me to see how I can help you. Weddings should be a time of celebration not added stress to you or your guests.

I finally had the courage to sit down and read my Sunshine Jar notes. I laughed and then I wept. I know I say it all the time but I blessed beyond measure because I have amazing people in my life who inspire me, laugh with me, cry with me, and you all know I'm a little crazy at heart and you still let me hang around. Life is not measured by what we own or what we do but by the relationships we build, the heartaches we endure, and the joy we share in our triumphs and happy times. Our journeys cross paths and our lives are enriched. Be quick to forgive, fast to fall in love, and be open to the natural flow of energy of life. And always lead with love.

Hi my beautiful couples and couples to be. I have reorganized my business model to really give couples what they are looking for from wedding coorinators. Here is the new model going forward. I do single services, which is Officiating and Bartending. Please call or email me for the fees. For day of wedding coordinating, decorating, and clean up the fee is $750. For that price you literally show up and you and your guests enjoy the day, and me and my team take care of everything. If you book any of my services and pay the 50% deposit you will get a full list of vendors and their information to help with your vendor selection 100% free. The reason for this change is I am finding many of the couples and their families are planning the vendors and really just want a Day of Wedding Coordination. Keep in mind the $750 for day is for you to have a hassle free and stress free day. Make memories not stress. It also pays for me and my teams drive time and their salary. On doing my research my fees are more than fair and below market value. Again, you can reach me on Facebook, my number is listed on this page, and so is my email. I look forward to hearing from you. ❤️

Hi to all my beautiful friends and followers. My health is stable and I am getting stronger everyday. After meeting with a few clients, services and prices will be getting a bit of a makeover. No worries these changes will benefit you way more than current offerings. Please watch for the post. Call or text me if you would like to know now. Website is still coming. Balancing my health, day job, and other obligations are slowing me down but they are no means stopping me. 😁

Hi Everyone. This last week I was diagnosed with a blood cancer called Multiple Myeloma. It's treatable but not curable. At first I was thinking about putting The Wedding Maven on hold, but I don't think giving up on my dreams is the answer. So I will proceed.

01/12/2024

I am so excited to meet the winners of the giveaway tomorrow. They don't know it yet, but I have a huge surprise for them. I have read their story several times and cry each time I read it. Love is such a gift and this beautiful couple definitely has a lot of love for each other. My heart is filled.

01/11/2024

I have selected the Bride and Groom that will receive $500 in completely free services just by sharing their love story with me. More to come. I will do this every January so for those who thought there was a catch, there wasn't. I hope I get more entries next December for 2025 weddings. ❤️

01/06/2024

I wanted to remind all you beautiful souls I offer single services like officiating weddings, vow renewals, bartending, or helping with just booking vendors. I do the research so my couples don't have to. If you are not sure you can afford a wedding planner/ coordinator because you have heard how outrageously priced they can be, please reach out to me. My services are very affordable and I have payment options. Please call, text, or email me about any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Only 2 more games as an Ice Technician at I keep trying not to be too sad because I will be planning beautiful weddings going forward. Let's go

12/14/2023

Big Hockey Tournament this weekend at here in Idaho Falls. I can't believe I have only 4 shifts until I say goodbye. It was always on my bucket list to work for an Event Center with a Hockey team and I will always be grateful for my time there. However, I find it is now or never to work on me, my health, and my life's dream of owning my own business. There may be a few tears saying goodbye but that's just because I am a big softy and a little sentimental.

12/12/2023

Looking forward to working with this team!

12/12/2023

As a Project Manager of 10 years, I managed budgets, timelines, deadlines, vendors, client expectations and had many happy clients and successful project launches. Brands you may be familiar with. Brands I worked with are Younique, Nuface, Algenist, PCA, Scentsy, and Versed just to name a few. When you hire me you get a wealth of knowledge in managing projects and a wedding by any other name is a project. I will give my couples weekly check-ins to see where we are at, a shared Google document that allows the couple to make notes and changes and to check to see where I'm at with vendors, what's booked, and what is left to book. I will help to reduce the stress and save the couple time, that comes with planning and taking care of the details. That way the couple, family & friends can enjoy the day and process. Call, text, or email me today. Reminder my capacity is limited to 3 weddings a month for now. Let's get you booked and on the calendar.

12/10/2023

I met a very talented lady this week who makes beautiful wedding cakes. I'm listing her as my top vendor for cakes. Susie owner of The Cake Box. Thank you Susie for your hospitality and showing me where you make your works of art. I look forward to working with you.

12/08/2023

Tonight I end my day with a heart full of gratitude. I am grateful for my family and friends, I am grateful for my future clients I will be blessed with meeting, and I'm grateful for the reminder today that when you put good out into the world, good always finds its way back to you in the most unexpected ways. Sending love and peace out into the world tonight. ❤️

I'm honored to serve our SE Idaho community by helping beautiful couples in the planning and coordinating of their special day. My experience includes 10 years as a project manager (managing projects from $15,000 in price to $5 million), a huge network of local wedding vendors, and 20 years of event planning. I have planned everything from corporate holiday parties to retirement parties. As a first year wedding planner and coordinator I am giving couples a fantastic price. Total cost for planning and coordinating your special day is only $1500, if you book with me by 12/31/24. Starting January 1, 2025, if your wedding is not previously booked, the price will increase to $2500. All consultations are free. Even with the first year's low cost, my couples will still get spoiled and get the full VIP treatment. I look forward to meeting you. Call or email me today!
