“In 20 years, you’re gonna wish you had more fun. So have more fun!”

I can’t even recall where I came across this first but it has become so central to how I operate that I’m glad my eyes flitted across it at some point in my lifetime.

Here’s the deal: no one gets to the end of their life and wishes they spent more time stressed out about the color of their napkins at their wedding or fighting over seating charts with their great-aunt Sally or skipping a holiday meal with family because they felt like they had to look a certain way. Now, I’m lucky enough to not know what I’ll wish I spent more time on in my life yet (I’m only in my mid-30s! I’m just a youth!), but I do know that I am gonna keep trying to squeeze as much joy out of this life as I can!

So what does this have to do with wedding planning? This is a distinct era of your life! It’s got a time boundedness that means you can really maximize the fun you feel in this time! But how do you do it?

🥳 Celebrate each win and decision. You found the band you like AND they’re available on your date? WOOHOO!
😘 Date nights aren’t just for reconnecting with your partner during your engagement era. Use them to keep connected to your friends. Talk about non-wedding things. Your people are going through but life stuff too! Hold space for everyone’s joy.
😎 Keep the bigger picture in perspective. As I like to say, you’ve already made the most difficult decision (deciding who to spend your life with), the rest of this is just frosting!
🥹 Remember that this is just one of maaaaaaany things you could be celebrating with your closest people throughout your life. It’s a big deal but it sure as hell shouldn’t be the last thing you celebrate!

What’s a line you’ve read or heard that still sticks with you and is informing how you’re planning your wedding? Tell me in the comments!

Nobody warns you about this when you start your wedding planning journey ⤵️

→ People will have opinions about EVERYTHING. Guest list, venue choice, whether Uncle Mark gets a plus-one (he does not, for the record). Boundaries are about to become your new best friend.

→ You'll second-guess every decision. Usually at night. Usually when you should be sleeping. Did we pick the right photographer? Is this menu too basic? (Breathe. You're doing great.)

→ Vendor contracts are long. Like really long. Read them anyway. Twice if you need to. Future you will be so glad you did.

→ Someone will inevitably ask, "so when are you having kids?" At your engagement party, wedding shower, and, possibly, while you're literally cutting your wedding cake. We wish we were joking, but we don't make the rules; we just silently judge them.

→ The Pinterest board and reality have a… complicated relationship. That $47,000 floral installation? Yeah, we're working with a slightly different number. And that's completely okay.

→ You'll care deeply about things you never thought you'd care about. Napkin colors. Table shapes. The exact shade of ivory. Welcome to wedding planning, where suddenly everything matters and also nothing matters.

→ Decision fatigue is real, and it is HEAVY. By month three, you'll understand why some couples just elope in Italy. (We support both choices, btw.)

But after nearly a decade in the wedding industry, here's what I want you to know: Planning your wedding doesn't have to feel like this. You can have help. You can protect your peace. You can make thoughtful choices that reflect your values without sacrificing your joy or mental health in the process!

✨ What's been the most surprising part of your planning journey so far?

Truly couldn’t think of anything spookier 🔮🍬✨🧟‍♀️

Friends, here's your reminder that my 2026-2027 books are open, and if you book a full planning, coordination, or officiant package by December 31st, you'll get 10% off.

Not sure which package is right for you? Let's break it down ⤵️

✨ Full Planning is for couples who want support from the very beginning. This is where we build your vendor team together, map out timelines, talk through big decisions, and handle every detail from your first call to your last dance. You're getting my full brain, my vendor connections, and a process that keeps everything organized + moving without you having to manage it all yourself.

✨ Coordination is for couples who've already done the planning but want someone to manage the ex*****on. I step in a few weeks before your wedding, review everything you've already booked, finalize timelines, confirm all the details with your vendors, and run the show on your wedding day so you can relax and savor your special day.

✨ Officiant Services are for couples who want a ceremony that feels like them. I, or one of our other officiants on staff, will write and deliver a ceremony that reflects your story, your values, and the kind of love you're celebrating — whether that's heartfelt, playful, deeply personal, or all of the above. This can be booked on its own or added to planning or coordination packages.

Still not sure which one you need? Head to the link in my bio to set up a quick chat, and I'll help you figure out what makes sense for where you're at in the process!

This discount expires December 31st, so if you've been thinking about it, now's the time to go for it!! 💕

If you're staring at a 10-page venue contract, wondering if "non-refundable restroom attendant fees" are normal… you're not alone 😂

One of the first things I do with every client - for planning or coordinating - is go over every single contract, line by line. From venues to rentals to catering, I've reviewed hundreds. So I know what’s standard, what’s a red flag, and what’s worth asking about before you sign.

When you’re dealing with this stuff for the first time, it’s hard to know what’s normal. Is that payment schedule typical? Are those overtime fees reasonable? What happens if something goes sideways?

I can't give legal advice, but I can help you spot things that seem off based on what I’ve seen before. Sometimes it’s worth pushing back. Sometimes it’s just how that vendor operates.

Either way, you deserve to feel completely confident in what you’re signing.

Currently planning and feeling overwhelmed by all the fine print? This is exactly what I'm here for 🥰 Link in bio to inquire.
