“Do I really need a wedding planner?”

It’s one of the most common questions I hear—and the honest answer? It depends on how you want to feel on your wedding day.

Whether you’re planning a cozy celebration or a full-blown fête, the size of your wedding doesn’t matter as much as your peace of mind. A planner’s job isn’t just timelines and vendor emails—it’s making sure the day flows smoothly, so you don’t have to carry the mental load.

Let’s talk about the different levels of support planners offer, why venues love when we’re around, and what you might not know if it’s your first time behind the scenes of a wedding (spoiler: it’s more than you think!).

Tap through for the full scoop—and if you’re still unsure what kind of help you might need, I’m always happy to chat 💌

Happy Pride Month, friends 🌈💛

Let’s have a real conversation. Because visibility is powerful, but action is what makes change.

If you’re a wedding vendor, you have the power to create a space where all couples feel safe, respected, and celebrated. And yes, that starts with your website, your forms, and the language you use every single day.

Too often, LGBTQIA+ couples are met with assumptions. From gendered contact forms to sometimes exclusionary terms like “bride & groom.” But it doesn’t have to be that way. We can do better and it doesn’t take a full rebrand to get started.

This Pride Month, I’m sharing 5 small, impactful ways you can make your business more gender inclusive. Because inclusion isn’t a trend or a checkbox. It’s a reflection of your values, and it shows in the little things.

Let’s build an industry that doesn’t just “accept” love in all its forms, but celebrates it fully. Loudly. Proudly. Authentically.

Swipe through. Take what resonates. Share it with someone who needs to see it.

Because love is love. And every couple deserves to see themselves reflected in the people they trust with their most meaningful moments.

🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Let’s talk about one of the most underrated wedding planning moves: renting your decor. 💡✨

DIY might seem like the budget-friendly, personal option—but it often ends up being more expensive, more stressful, and more wasteful than you think.

Renting, on the other hand? Saves time, money, and the planet. And yes—you can still have a wedding that feels like you. From velvet lounges to funky glassware, rental companies have stunning pieces that are just waiting to be discovered.

(Seriously—a vendor recently told me she has show-stopping items that have never been rented. Wild.)

If you don’t know where to start, I’ve got you. I’ll help you source unique rentals, style every detail, and skip the last-minute decor chaos.

✨30✨

I’ve been looking forward to getting out of my 20s and into my 30s for the last few years because I felt that 30 would be when my life truly began.

My 20s were hard and filled with challenges, imposter syndrome, and lots of life lessons, but now that I’m 30 I realize that everything that happened in my 20s is what made me who I am today! The things I’ve faced in the last decade have allowed me to enter my 30th year with an amazing group of friends, the most supportive husband in the world, and a business that feels like my true calling.

So thank you 20s, and cheers to all that will come in the 3rd decade of my life 🫶🏿

Thank you so much to for hosting my birthday celebration, for decorating it beyond my wildest imagination, for capturing the essence of the day, for the DELICIOUS cake, and and for putting on the best drag brunch a girl could ask for 🤍🤍🤍

If you’re LGBTQIA+ and feeling nervous about getting married right now—especially with everything happening politically and the rise of conservatism—I see you.

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and fully celebrated on your wedding day. That’s why my Fall Pop-Up Elopement on October 18, 2025 at Starling Lane Winery is completely inclusive and welcoming to all love stories.

Whether you’re LGBTQ+, non-binary, or just looking for a space where your love is met with joy (not judgment), this is for you.

We’ll handle all the details—from live cello music and a personalized ceremony to stunning photos and cake—so you can focus on what really matters: each other.

Your love is valid. Your marriage is beautiful. And you’re more than welcome here ❤️

Yesterday’s wedding was so wonderful 🤍
The sun came out just in time to bless a beautiful day filled with love, tradition, and celebration. I was thrilled to see this amazing couple embrace the bride’s Jewish heritage. From the chuppah to the hora to the delicious challah shared with their guests, it was so cool to witness 🤩

I always encourage my couples to honor their culture in a way that feels true to them, and this wedding was a perfect example of how meaningful and joyful that can be for everyone!
