Meet Natalie, your event aficionado and entrepreneurial creative ✨🎨

With a background in video production, graphic design, Fortune 1000 corporate events, and a Master’s in Business, Natalie brings both creativity and strategy to every celebration she plans. She knows the ins and outs of the industry and how to bring the event vision to life with an artistic flair while operationally sound!

When she’s not planning weddings or corporate events, you’ll find her planning themed movie nights (because there’s always room for more planning), learning a new craft, renovating her house, or experimenting with creative food and drink concoctions.

Think we might be a planning match?

Wedding tip you didn’t know you needed:
Hide a Q-tip in your bouquet!

Why? Because when emotions hit hard during the ceremony (and they will 😭), you and your bridesmaids can subtly swipe away tears, no crumpled tissues, no makeup smudges, no awkward nose wipes in photos.

Tiny trick. Big impact. You’re welcome. 😉

Planning your wedding? Here are 3 things couples often forget on their big day, so you don’t have to!

1️⃣ Emergency Kit Essentials: blister covers, stain removers, sewing kit, and yes, extra deodorant!

2️⃣ Payments & Tips: Keep those envelopes ready for vendors and helpers.

3️⃣ Contact List: Phone numbers for vendors, family, and your bridal party, just in case.

But don’t stress, as your Day-of Coordinator, we have all of this covered! We keep track of the details behind the scenes so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your day.

What’s one thing YOU forgot (or almost forgot)? Tell us!
