Hi! It’s been a minute since I’ve posted (life has been crazy 😅) but I’m still here! Some updates:
• The next round of weddings kicks off this weekend with Ellen & Kevin and I’m so excited to work with their amazing vendor team!
• Almost two weeks ago, my girlfriends gave me the absolute best bachelorette weekend a girl could ask for and I’m so thankful for every one of them! (swipe for the Harry Styles night outfits 🤩)
• I am currently booking for 2025! Email [email protected] to set up your consultation!
And that’s all for now! Stay tuned for all the pretty August wedding content to come 🥰🤍✨

Amanda & Liam 🤍
The most traditional, timeless wedding for a classic love story - the quarterback of the high school football team married the captain of the cheerleaders! You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day filled so much love (and of course a packed dance floor)! 🥳
Fun fact: Amanda and I met years ago while we were both working at the Regal Room and it was so special to be a part of her day after working so many weddings together 🥹
Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs. Callejas!! 🥂🤍✨

Shannon & Christian 💛
These two booked with me all the way back in 2022 and we built their wedding from the ground up! Their wedding was held at Shannon’s parents’ farm and it was truly so special to work with this incredible team of vendors and see every detail come to life for such a beautiful day. Shannon and Christian are also two of the nicest, coolest people - I had the best time planning with them and their families! 🥰
Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Budney! 🥂🤍✨

These two dated in high school, reconnected years later and made it official this past Saturday! Their wedding was one for the books with the dreamiest outdoor set-up, cutest first look, and an incredible vendor team to bring it all together. You could truly feel the love from all of their family and friends, and I’m so happy to have been a part of it! 🥹
Cheers to the Olechnas!! 🥂🤍✨

Reception moments ✨
When building your timeline, I always suggest front-loading your reception and doing all of your special events (first dance, parent dances & toasts) right after you are introduced and before dinner! The main reason? Your guests have just taken their seats (which can sometimes take a while after everyone has been enjoying cocktail hour!) and their attention is already focused on you. Once they sit down and dinner is served, people may be at the bar, walking around mingling, and overall just ready to dance!
When we work together, we’ll go over all of your special events and build your timeline a way that makes sense for everyone: the couple, vendors and guests! ✨🤍
