Dear Friends, I am sadly stepping away from Weddings as I am expanding upon another venture that has also been my passion for most of my life. I always give 100% to everything I do and so I could not continue to run both businesses' and still be 100% and more kind of girl. To be a Wedding Planner/Director and Coordinator is a huge responsibility and I have been so honored and so Thankful to have been part of such amazing Weddings. Each Wedding has been an absolute gift to me . The friends I have made is priceless. To the couples I love, to the Vendors I have so enjoyed and to the wonderful world of design and creativity that has been such a huge part of my life, I bid Adieu as a Wedding Planner but not as a friend. I am still here and will continue to celebrate you all!
I am also very excited to tell you all that I shall be announcing something very soon for all of my Wedding Planners and Brides that I think will be a FABULOUS resource that will have my heart stamped all over it!
With LOVE always and THANK YOU for choosing me !
