Weddings have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents were both admired teachers who were often invited to former student's weddings, so I had been to dozens before I even started working in the industry! I loved observing the beauty of these events and became completely enthralled with weddings when my older sister got married when I was 10. Keeping up with her wedding plans was so much fun that I started planning fake weddings after school (and sometimes during school!)

After running a successful wedding florist for nearly 4 years then being a venue manager and wedding planner for a year, I decided to start my own business focused on joy, inclusion, and unique wedding planning. I am a planner by nature. At any given moment I have at least 3 planners/calendars nearby, so I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to realize I was meant to be a wedding planner! 

Some more about me:

  • I have a cat named Smokey who is my entire world and has completely taken over my camera roll. 

  • I love sports and have season tickets to the Rockies and Broncos. 

  • I tend to speak in pop culture references (thank you Gilmore Girls)

  • I love movies and saw 49 movies for the first time in 2025
