Why Should You Incorporate a Reveal into YourWedding Day Timeline?

What even is a Reveal?

A REVEAL is when you take a space, item, or area and hide it from the Bride and Groom and then show it to them to see it for the first time.

In other words it’s seeing THEIR vision come to LIFE.

Here’s our thoughts:

1. You have worked hard on your wedding and making your dream come together, so you deserve to celebrate that and see it as one cohesive piece.

2. The Grooms should be given an option for a reveal too!

3. You want to create moments of awe and excitement throughout the day. This helps make core memories that can stick with you for a lifetime.

4. It helps the Bride and Groom slow down and take it all in.

A reveal can be hard if you don’t have a Wedding Planner because you may be doing lot of the set up, and you don’t have anyone preparing the surprise for you in advance. Also, there is no one ensuring you have time in the schedule of the day to make this happen. So reach out….we are happy to help your dreams come to life ✨

We are remembering this perfect Spring day when Jess and Hayden committed themselves to each other for life. When I started planning this wedding, there were certain things Jess knew she wanted. And one thing was to get married at the The Arboretum at Penn State

It definitely did not disappoint! Stephanie Walizer Photography did an incredible job capturing these special moments between these two beautiful souls. I was able to sit back in awe of their love for each other and think about how amazing of a life they will continue to have together.

We visited Gillbrook Farms with a couple today. It is set in the rolling hills of Warriors Mark, and this venue has that perfect serene, rustic aesthetic. It is a family owned, thoughtfully curated venue with class and many possibilities! You can tent various parts of the property or use everything as is. Many people get married under the weeping willow but have the back up option for under the Barn. For those looking for a Barn venue that can accommodate a lot of people (up to 300) this venue is a great option for you!

Audrey Snow Photography did a fabulous job with capturing Kayla and Nate’s engagement. Check it out on her blog

Kayla and Nate found the dreamiest place for their engagement photos, right on their family’s property. In the most beautiful fields of grasses and flowers, it was as romantic as it comes. Though that was as much due to their sweet relationship as anything else. I can’t wait for their wedding ne...

A big congratulations to Carissa and Justin! Justin proposed on the beach of Santa Monica, Cali. And they quickly reached out to begin the planning process. The minute I met them I knew I wanted to be a part of their life. We can’t wait to tell your story! Thanks for entrusting that to us. ✨

We have a NEW update for our future clients. With much consideration, we will be offering TWO packages to chose from for your wedding planning needs:

The Standard Package
(Partial Planning)

The Premium Package
(Full Service Planning)

Stay tuned for the breakdown of these two options. Over the last year we have found that our clients prefer we be the MOST involved in the planning process that we can possibly be. Thus it only makes sense for us to no longer our Essentials Package (which was close to what people think of as a Day of Coordinator).

We do however have a wonderful recommendation for a local planner that we trust to provide this service. And we would be more than happy to chat with you about that.

So 2025 clients, we are looking forward to diving deep into that planning process with you and making your dreams come to life. ✨

How do you keep your guests dancing all night?! 🪩

1. Plenty of dance floor (don’t compromise on this! If you don’t have enough space ask your planner to tear down some guest tables to make room)

2. A banger first dance song. No but really…think this through and work with the your DJ or Band on ideas if you don’t have any.

3. Hire an experienced and seasoned DJ or Band. Need recommendations? Reach out! We know plenty.

4. Hire enough bartenders so that there is not a long line at the bar. A long line at the bar means less people on your dance floor.

5. Hydrate your guests! And give them a late night snack. The better they feel the longer they stay. And the longer they stay the more they dance.

6. YOU be on the dance floor. Your guests are there for YOU. So you can set the tone and energy for the night. And your friends and family should follow.
