For more than 27 years, I have poured my heart into the wedding industry, and it still feels like a blessing every single day. I started in 1998 as a wedding DJ, and that experience showed me how powerful a wedding day truly is—the joy, the emotion, and the connections between people.
In 2015, shortly after moving to sunny Myrtle Beach, I founded Barefoot Wedded Bliss, a boutique company dedicated to creating beautiful and stress-free beach weddings. Today, I feel honored to help couples from all over the country experience the magic of a stress-free beach wedding on the sand.
I’m a people person and a planner at heart, so getting to know my couples is truly one of my favorite parts of what I do. I don’t just want to know dates and details—I want to hear your story, your vision, your worries, and your dreams for your day so I can make it feel genuinely “you.”
When we work together, my goal is to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely supported from the first message to the final “I do.” I bring a calm, professional approach with a fun, easygoing vibe so planning feels exciting instead of stressful.
My Passion for Each Wedding....
Even after decades in this industry, I still get excited for every single wedding. I feel those same butterflies and burst of joy when I watch a couple walk onto the beach, hear the waves behind them, and see everything come together just the way they imagined.
Every ceremony is personal to me because I know it’s one of the most important days of your life. Being trusted to create that moment is something I never take for granted.
What I Want For You?
At the heart of Barefoot Wedded Bliss is my belief that every couple deserves a beautiful, relaxed, and meaningful start to their married life. I want you to feel seen, heard, and genuinely taken care of, knowing that I’m handling the details so you can simply be present in the moment.
When you choose me as your planner and officiant, you’re not just booking a beach wedding—you’re sharing your love story with someone who truly cares about bringing your dream to life, one wave, one sunset, and one “I do” at a time.
Thank you!
