Happy ✨ wedding week ✨ to Jamie and Molly! These two are getting married at this weekend, and I can’t wait to see their vision come to life!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

Jamie and Molly’s story starts back in 2012 at a tailgate in Madison, when their spark first started. Every few years after that, their paths would cross again and the spark would brighten. There would always be plenty of flirty banter but the distance always seemed too far.

In 2021, they were seated at the same table at a wedding, and after few rounds of liquid courage, Molly asked Jamie to dance, then on a date, and he gave the quickest and surest yes of his life. Since that first date weekend, and the many four-hour drives to see each other, there’s always been love tethering them together, drawing them closer and closer, until they could both see clear as day that they liked where this is going, and always will.

I can’t wait to celebrate the two of you for your wedding this weekend 🥂

🎉 Our first wedding of 2025 is coming up this weekend at !

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Anne and Phong 💍 I have had the privilege of working with these two for the last year plus, as we have worked together to plan their perfect day!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

Anne and Phong met in August of 2021 at Yola’s café for what they thought was just a simple coffee date—even though Anne does not drink coffee. What was initially meant to be only an hour ended up being two and a half hours and a start to their love story. Right after the date, Phong asked Anne for a second date, and she said yes. From that point on, it has been a series of milestones and challenges and a great story.

Phong received Anne’s mother’s blessing early January of 2022, and before the end of the month Anne said yes! April of 2023 Phong proposed to Anne, and a month later both families went on a trip to Vietnam together, for an engagement / wedding ceremony for Anne’s family. They share a love for movies, cooking, and travel, which has strengthened their bond and brought them closer together. They are now ready for their official new start as husband and wife, as they begin this new journey together!

I can’t wait to help see your wedding day through, and all the wonderful things your future has in store for you 🥂

And just like that, we are kicking off our final wedding week of 2024!

Happy -- w e d d i n g w e e k -- to Katelyn and Alex!! The big day is almost here, as we prepare to celebrate these two at this weekend 💍

Here’s a little glimpse into their story 💫

Katelyn and Alex had their first date in July of 2022 at Full Mile Beer Co. That date quickly turned into feeling as though they have known each other for a lifetime. 2.5 years later they’ve enjoyed sporting events, cabin trips, and beach vacations including to Panama City Beach, FL where Alex proposed right by the ocean on a beautiful October evening. They can’t wait to start this next chapter of their lives as a married couple with their black lab, Millie, by their sides.

I can’t wait to celebrate with you this weekend, as you start this new chapter of your lives together! 🥂

What’s better than a week that ends with pie?! A week that ends with pie AND a wedding!!

We are kicking off a wedding week for Kristy and Tryg, who are getting married at this weekend 💍

Here’s a little bit into their love story 💫

Tryg and Kristy met while attending graduate school at the University of Minnesota. Their love blossomed through drinks that turned into hours of thoughtful conversation and dates that turned to a series of adventures wandering the snowy streets in Minneapolis. The couple has since moved to Pennsylvania where they have started building their lives together. Over the past five years, the couple has enjoyed exploring the outdoors, enhancing their culinary skills, and embarking on several East coast adventures. Cheers to many happy years!

I can’t wait to celebrate the two of you this weekend!! 🥂

We are celebrating • w e d d i n g w e e k • for Amelia and Caleb, as they are exchanging vows at this weekend 💍

Here’s a little sneak peek into their love story 💫

Caleb and Amelia had their first date in February of 2022 at Hop Haus Brewing Company. While snow was blowing outside, they enjoyed getting to know each other over a beer. Almost three years later, they have gone on many adventures including exploring the outdoors, long road trips, relaxing vacations, and a special hike around Pheasant Branch Conservancy where Caleb proposed. They are very excited to start this next journey, creating a home together and continuing to adventure.

I am super excited to have been on this journey with Amelia and Caleb! I can’t wait to celebrate them this weekend, and see some familiar faces alongside them as well 🥂

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to Trenna and Ryan! We will be celebrating their wedding on Friday at 🥂

Here’s a little glimpse into their life story 💫

We met back in the summer of 2018 thanks to the good ‘ole dating app, Tinder. We quickly bonded over a shared love of food, drinks & cooking, Jesus, & enjoying all kinds of events in the Madison area. Two years later, we became dog parents to the one and only, Bandit, our rescue min pin! After spending 2 years living in a one bedroom apartment throughout quarantine, enduring work from home, Zoom birthday celebrations, game nights, and bible studies, & not being able to go out & about like we used to, we had to keep it interesting! So...we bought a house in December 2022! Shortly following, in April 2023, Ryan proposed to Trenna in the kitchen of their home stating...”I thought of a million ways to do this and I just wanted to do it in our forever home with my forever person.” We’ve so enjoyed our engagement season and look forward to all that God has in store for our lives as husband and wife!

I can’t wait to celebrate with the two of you as you start this new season of life as husband and wife! 💍

Happy • w e d d i n g w e e k • to another great couple! Kaitlin and Michael are getting married at this Friday 💍

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

We met online right as the world was shutting down for COVID. As unfortunate as everything was, it gave us the opportunity to slow down, get to know each other, and connect on a deeper level.

When Michael proposed, everything he planned captured our relationship and love story perfectly. We have really loved traveling, cooking together, and spending time with our two dogs. We’ve spent the last few years starting to build our life together and can’t wait to continue seeing where things take us!

I can’t wait to celebrate with these two on Friday, and help bring their wedding dreams to life! 🥂

I always say I’m bias in my opinion on the importance of hiring a wedding planner for your event, but it truly is one of the best decisions you can make for your day 🤍 There are so many moving parts that make up a wedding day, and behind the scenes details we tend to, that many couples aren’t even aware of, to ensure a flawless event for couples and their guests.

Your day will fly by, and you should be able to be present for every bit of it, soaking up all the moments, creating memories, and reveling in the joy of new beginnings with your partner!

Executing the perfect day starts well before your event. I still remember the initial inquiry and consultation with Lindsey, and our many check-ins leading up to their wedding day, carefully planning all the details, sorting through the logistics, and unfolding a beautiful day on June 1, 2024 💍

Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Marten, for allowing me to assist you in your wedding planning, and to see through your special day! 🥂

In just a couple days, Zach and Annika will exchange vows , and start their new chapter as ✨ husband and wife ✨

Happy •• W E D D I N G W E E K •• to this lovely couple!! I am so excited to see their day through this weekend, and help celebrate the two of them!

Here’s a little glimpse into their love story 💫

They met online in 2018, and spoke for several weeks while Zach was touring with one of his bands, before they met in person. They were long distance for a little over a year until Zach moved in with Annika & her dog, Teague, in Milwaukee. (Teague has since decided he is Zach’s dog.) They bought their house in Sun Prairie in 2020, and adopted their second dog, Suki, in 2022, and have been living happily ever after!

They like to go to concerts, eat great food & travel as often as they can. On one trip, they ended up stuck at the Dallas airport for 12 hours, but it made them realize that they make a pretty good team in stressful situations! They can’t wait to cross more places off their travel bucket list together as husband & wife 🤍
