Here’s why you have to trust the journey!

Save and share this with someone you know who might need to read this.

Grateful for the journey in the wedding planning industry, it's no walk in the park, but with each challenge, God reaffirms my purpose.

Just wrapped up a call with my bride, Mysia, finalizing details for her upcoming 12/21/23 wedding. She shared that the journey hasn't always been easy, and hiring me was a bit scary, but their trust in God continues as they approach the big day.

To those tempted to give up, remember, challenges shape us. Shoutout to Gary & Mysia my incredible couple, who reminded me why I'm on this path. Your testimony blessed me today!

Tears shed, but glory to God for the ride ahead. 🙏

The Groom’s Experience is here!

TGE is a 1-Day Pre-Wedding, soirée curated for grooms-to-be.

The mission of TGE is to guide newly engaged grooms through the wedding planning process by providing a 7-step process designed to take them from the Ask to the Aisle.

One of the most asked questions, we get from our grooms is “what am I suppose to do? The wedding is about her so I really don’t need to do anything right?”

Gentlemen, this could not be more Wrong!

There are so many things that need to be done before your big day, for example: establishing a budget, deciding on a venue, and choosing a color palette, just to name a few. However, oftentimes the groom tends to leave those tasks to the bride.

As the big day approaches, every tiny detail is important. If you are the groom-to-be, you may be asking yourself: “what’s a man to do?”

TGE was birthed from countless grooms-to-be asking “how do I prepare myself for my day?” When do I choose my groomsmen?”
“Do I have to accompany my bride to all these meetings?” “Don’t worry about me, just make sure my bride gets everything she wants.”

Well gentlemen, we are here to help! You will no longer be clueless on your big day! You will no longer be stuck in a small hotel room waiting for someone to tell you what to do next.

Join us on Sunday, November 6, 2022 at 3pm for an experience, The Groom’s Experience!

You will be treated to insight from top industry experts, local entertainment, pre-marriage tips and techniques for your wedding day, along with lite bites, bubbles and luxury giveaways.

Bring your groomsmen and your bride-to-be and come learn with us as you prepare for one of the most important days of your life.

We promise to answer your questions, solve your problems and provide you an experience like none other.
You won’t be disappointed!

Purchase your ticket now while they last! Space is limited.
