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 […]
Anyone who knows me outside the event world knows I call the West Baden Springs Hotel in the French Lick Resort “Mecca” – many who know me inside the wedding world know it too. I love the rolling countryside of the Southern Indiana hills as you approach. I love the iconic yellow brick beacon that appears like a mirage out of the countryside. I love the stunning architecture that sweeps stories into the sky. I love the attention to detail […]
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 […]
Every once in a while as a wedding planner, you get a client who just allows you to run! This time I got to run in circles (..and I didn’t mind) 😉 Tim and Kristen were finishing their Masters degrees at Notre Dame when she and I met with her mom for lunch the day before Christmas Eve when I said, “I have an idea…” with a grin across my face. She said “run with it.” Finally – after having […]
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 […]
Megan+Phil culminated an amazing week with their wedding celebration! What started out as oh, you know an average week … just graduating medical school – ended 7 days later as husband and wife 🙂 – just another average week for these two amazingly beautiful people! Megan and Phil infused their fun-loving spirit and heritage into their entire weekend’s events. The concept “tying the knot” inspired the invitation which infused a beautiful Celtic symbol into the whole celebration. The […]
