Many a time, I am asked what makes a Certified Wedding Planner worth it. While I could go on and on about how I can help make your day the dream you’ve always dreamt of, I want to give you just a peek of what goes in to what I do behind the scenes.

Personalization is key when choosing colors, and with as many colors as there are vendors you have to call, you might feel like you’ve gotten spring fever. Never fear! We’ve got the perfect plan to get you saying “I do” to the color palate of your dreams and on to theming every detail of the reception to match. First things first: choose your season.
