Few people can say they met their future spouse at Indiana University’s Little 500 week long festivities. I can say that. Add Grace and Graham to the list. The minute I met them and they told me that, I knew we were destined to work together on their upscale Hoosier Homecoming wedding celebration! Our similarities didn’t stop there! Grace’s mom, Debbie, and I share a birthday – what’s not to love about us Leos right 😉 , as a child […]
Abby and Matt, along with their families, are such warm and gracious people! They wanted their day to be filled with beautiful flowers, family tradition and great food — they had it all! When Matt proposed Abby’s parents immediately took them to Meridian Hills Country Club for a glass of celebratory champagne. The Club has long held a place of family tradition and celebration, so hosting the wedding reception there seemed natural. It was the perfect location for their early […]
Lauren and Tom wanted their summer wedding to have a French provincial warmth to their farm wedding, and undoubtedly they achieved this. They have impeccable taste and it shows in every detail; whether it be the clothes they wear, the stores where they shop, or the vacations they take – naturally their wedding was going to be rich in detail, charm and beauty. Just like the two of them. After meeting at Yale during a freshmen picnic for athletes, the […]
Sara and Curtis have known one another forever! It’s impossible to see a photo of one without the other. They actually went to the same elementary school! A mere 2 weeks before their wedding, they were finally in the same city as each other having survived a 4 year long-distance relationship because of attending different colleges. As often as possible one would travel to the other school for football games or mini-vacations. One semester they even both traveled to […]
Shelby and Brian are two people you meet and you know will be your friends for life. They are warm, engaging, smart and funny. So are their families. Shelby’s mom has a saying, “Beauty is as beauty does.” Her entire family is beautiful – inside and out. Her new son-in-law is as well — and frankly, so are his amazing parents. They hosted the wedding of Brian and Shelby without a second of hesitation at their home and are among […]
I’m lucky. I get it. I get to help couples and families plan an incredible celebration and share in special, intimate moments. I get to see private, quiet moments with wonderful people. I get to see things few people get to see, and I get to share in these quiet prayers, whispered conversations and silly conversations just before a bride walks down the aisle with her father and I am humbled to be present in the moment. I’m not immune […]
My Disney background has helped shape my entire career – from bringing more than just a little pixie dust into the lives of each client, to ensuring each event has her own Fairy Godmother. I want to make sure every event has an element of magic, imagination and fun. Imagination is where is all starts! I love seeing how clients bring their own personalities into a wedding – so let’s talk about how we can do that. (and… we won’t […]
From the moment I met Margo and Bob, I was welcomed into their home and their lives with open arms and I knew it was going to an amazing weekend full of celebration, laughter and of course, fantastic Italian food! Their engagement party was only a few days after we first met, and I was asked to attend so I could meet each of their children. What a stunning family. The kids (and by this I mean – wonderful, smart, […]
Every once in a while a couple just touches your soul. In 14 years of planning weddings I’ve been lucky enough to have this happen to me several times throughout the year. It’s one of the reasons I am so discerning about the number of clients I take a year, and one of the reasons I interview each client so thoroughly as much as they interview me. My only regret with Andrea and Patrick — time. Patrick proposed to Andrea […]
Think about it – we talk about food from the moment a person is born. “How is the baby eating?” “What was their first food?” We ask children, “what is your favorite food?” (often to the answer of ice cream or pizza) and as we begin dating that question “where do you want to go for dinner?” is an important one – so when planning your wedding menu it’s a critical point. Here are a few tips to help navigate […]
