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!

Having these moments with your Dad will be among the best memories of your wedding. Both you, and your […]
A Toast to Mothers! As we enter Mother’s Day week I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the importance of family in a wedding. The wedding ceremony is the blending of two families into one and while some portions of the ceremony ritual dictate how this happens, I want each of my planning clients to also take a few moments to relax, enjoy and take a deep breath. I also want their families to do the same. Savoir […]
We all know entering any special event an experience for the entire mind, body and soul. It’s something for each of the 5 senses and one of my favorites for my clients to think about is the sense of touch! Every client thinks about sight and sound, and quite obviously taste – but touch is of equal importance. In many cases, it relates to the other senses. If you touch something – it’s because the sense of sight made […]
