Exceptional and experienced planning, design, and coordination for New England weddings.

Cows were unpaid actors.
Emilia and Nick's ceremony took place on the family's farm in Stonington, CT, which had never hosted a wedding before, but with that gorgeous backdrop, how could we not?
Swipe to see what the rest of the property looked like that day. Hint - sailcloth tent, big red barn, and custom walking paths, all on land that's been in the family for decades.
This is what we do! We take the place that means everything to you and figure out how to make it work, how to make it beautiful, and how to seamlessly work the logistics with no surprises (except a few cute cows).

Two properties, one unforgettable day for S+C.
A ceremony overlooking Long Island Sound on one private waterfront estate, then a vintage trolley ride to a second property for cocktails on the lawn and dinner under a sailcloth tent.
Two full setups, two rain plans, a custom route for guest transportation, intentional landscaping across both sites, and it still felt completely effortless to everyone there.
That's the magic of planning a private property wedding with someone who specializes in these incredible events.
If your family has a special place, be it a waterfront home, sprawling backyard, or beloved estate, and you've ever wondered if you could host a wedding this beautiful, you can. And I'd love to help you make it happen. ✨

Mallory + Garrett 🤍

From the aisle kiss that had the whole church on its feet, to a reception where every design detail came together just as we dreamed it, this day was pure magic from start to finish.

Saltwater Farm Vineyard was the perfect backdrop, and the candlelit tables, elegant florals, and greenery-draped crystal chandeliers made the room feel like a celebration. Don't even get me started on the dance party 🪩

Mallory, Garrett, and both of your families, thank you for trusting me with a day this special. It was an honor to bring your vision to life.

The absolute most perfect at-home wedding for E+N. Every logistical detail seamlessly managed. Every design element carefully chosen to reflect their personal style. And a crowd of over 200 who came very, very ready to party.

A tasting today turned into a memory tonight.

Sitting across from a couple planning their wedding at Smith Farm Gardens earlier this week brought me right back to A & N's wedding and honestly, I love these reminders of why I do this work.

The most remarkable alfresco dinner at golden hour, the bridesmaids in their gorgeous dresses, the incomparable landscaping at the venue, and one of the sweetest couples I ever worked with.

This is what a wedding feels like when nothing is forced and everything is intentional.

If you're dreaming of something that feels this unhurried, beautiful, and completely yours, I'd love to be part of it. A limited number of 2027 dates are still available. Find the link in my bio.

Thrilled by the news that Emily & Patrick's romantic celebration at Smith Farm Gardens has been featured on Inspired By This! From lush white florals and abundant candles set on specialty lace runners, to an iconic petal toss and a vintage-inspired cake, every detail felt like it was right out of a fairy tale.

If you're dreaming of a wedding that feels just as meaningful as it is beautiful, I'd love to help bring your vision to life! Select weekends are available in 2027.

Delamar Mystic has been an incredible addition to the southern New England wedding scene.

Set against stunning views of the Mystic River and directly adjacent to the iconic Mystic Seaport, the property was the perfect backdrop for E & S's late-summer celebration.

We leaned into a color palette designed to pop. Soft apricot, creams, and sage greens were intentionally layered to glow against the muted blues of the water and the hotel’s serene, neutral interiors. The final result was one of my favorite events of 2026.

As a planner, I review a lot of extraordinary wedding galleries.

But I rarely see a gallery where in nearly every photo, the bride is radiating joy the way Abby was. To be entrusted with a celebration so beautiful, and filled with so much love, was an incredible privilege 🖤
