Cheers to THREE years! I launched on this day in the summer of 2021- not knowing the incredible journey that was ahead of me. I’m extremely grateful for my clients who have trusted me and my team— & every person who’s been in my corner to help me build from the ground up- to many more 🥂

Madi and Philip’s fall wedding in Fayetteville was what dreams are made of. The ceremony on historic Old Main Lawn, custom details at every turn, and an EPIC party!

One of my MOST favorites to plan— the bride is one of my very best friends! Swipe til the end to see me as bridesmaid + wedding planner😝— not a role I take lightly or do often, and no one else I would do this for at 5 weeks postpartum. My team killed it so I wouldn’t miss any of the fun!

More to come!

To say I’m thankful today would be an absolute understatement. The Lord has blessed my family and business immensely this year and it’s not lost on me that I’m extremely fortunate to do what I love every single day.

🧡Thankful for the families we serve and the trust they have in us.

🧡Thankful for the support of our family, friends, + —who I wouldn’t survive without.

🧡Thankful to be a wife + a healthy baby girl’s Momma.

Wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
