Planning a wedding requires extensive time and research, from venues to invitations. Experienced planners bring invaluable knowledge and serve as your point person, allowing you to relax and enjoy your day. I've handled emergencies like fires, missing officiants, transportation issues, and plumbing problems—all without my clients knowing. That's my job and I love it!

Brides often have specific desires for their weddings. Stunning views, a fabulous photograher, great food, personalized decor etc. It's important that your wedding reflects your style and what matters most to you. Focusing on incorporating these elements will allow you to create your perfect day.

As a Wedding Planner, I often see couples feeling rushed to start planning immediately after getting engaged. The truth is, the best first step is to pause and take some time to get organized. Once you do, the planning process becomes much less complicated. Remember, a little preparation goes a long way 💍🥂 Over the next five days I’m going to share my top 5 planning tips. First up, creating your guests list. This is an important first step, and will ensure you don’t waste your time looking at venues that can’t accomodate your wedding.

Picking a wedding date is easier said than done, with many factors to consider. Flexibility can present more venue options. If you're considering a holiday weekend, check with family members who typically travel on those days.

While many brides dream of unlimited wedding funds, it's not realistic. Even if you have a budget in mind, wedding costs can be surprising. Sitting down and discussing a realistic budget is essential to ensure you have the day you want without overspending.

This week I'm passing along my top 5 planning tips. First up, creating your guests list. This is an important first step, and will ensure you don't waste your time looking at venues that can't accomodate your wedding.

// Margaret and Kyle \\
These two had an incredible day from start to finish. The weather was amazing and their venue served as the perfect backdrop for their Earth day themed wedding.
Guests knew it was going to be a special event when they received their gorgeous thick embossed, handwritten calligraphy-addressed invitation back in late winter. The bride, a talented artist hand drew and painted each table number. To add to the occasion each guest was greeted with their own personalized menu at their table setting.
Lots of personal touches for this wedding made guests feel welcomed and loved.
Congratulations to these two!

I love what I do. When people find out that I'm a Wedding and Event Planner they always comment that my job must be so fun. Their right, it is. I enjoy the experience of getting to know my clients. Hearing their love story and how it led to their engagement. Listening to their plans for the future and getting to meet their family and friends is such an honor.
I also have the privilege of organizing non-profit events, quinceaneras, baby showers, engagement and anniversary parties, and more.
I've been nominated for this year's Best of Cobb in the Professional Event Organizer and would love your vote.

I get calls every day from future clients who are looking for the perfect venue for their wedding. There are lots of options so narrowing it down can be challenging. Here are the 5 questions I start with right away in an attempt to get a clearer picture of what they want.
1. What is your budget?
2. Where (location) do you want to get married?
3. How many guests?
4. What time of year do you want to get married?
5. What type of venue are you looking for or not looking for? (i.e. elegant and classical, industrial and open, outdoor, an estate, mountain views, near the ocean, etc.)
Lots to consider when it comes to choosing a venue that is the right fit for you.
If you're ready to begin your venue search reach out to me. I have a vast amount of experience working with venues all over the southeast.
If your looking for some more tips check out this article from BRIDES magazine.

We've asked expert wedding planners to share their top tips to help you find your dream wedding venue.

Thrilled to be nominated for this year's Best of Cobb. If you have a minute I would appreciate your vote.

We are one day away from flipping the calendar to December and that means lots of parties and entertaining. I'm working on several events and focusing today on getting the final numbers in so I can order (and create) centerpieces. Don't you love ALL the amazing things you can use to decorate for the holidays?
Here are a few designs that my clients are using this season.

I love planning baby showers. For this client, I'm creating an autumn-themed event to celebrate a sweet baby boy who will soon join a family that has three little girls. These are the sweetest of days.
