Thank you for being here! I have a passion for bringing people together and supporting small businesses. At Home Town Events, I blend the two. Collaboration is at the core of what I do to help you plan a stress-free wedding or event while supporting our beloved community. I have over 12 years of event planning experience, I'm a serial planner, and I find myself looking at my calendars for fun. I l

ove helping people celebrate special moments in their lives and in the lives of their businesses. I'd be honored to handle all of the details of your event so you can simply celebrate. I have always called Hamilton, New York home. I married my high school sweetheart and together we have one kiddo. I attended college and graduate school in Western New York, where I discovered my love for both event planning and the Buffalo Bills.

You can love DIY and still want professional guidance. You can be organized and still feel overwhelmed. You can want fun and structure.

That’s where thoughtful planning support comes in. Planning first, ex*****on second, stress last.

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his legacy of equality, dignity, and love for all. 💗

At the heart of every event I plan is the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, respected, and welcome. Love looks different for everyone, and the spaces we gather in should reflect and celebrate that.

I remain committed to creating inclusive experiences rooted in respect, care, and community — today and always.

Before you save a single inspiration photo, sit down with your budget. Not because creativity isn’t important — but because clarity is.

A realistic budget helps you:
✔ Set priorities
✔ Make confident decisions
✔ Avoid last-minute stress

Design is where the fun begins — but budget is what makes it sustainable.

One of the most common questions I get: “Am I behind in planning?”
The honest answer? It depends on your event type, guest count, and goals.

✨ General planning guideline:
Weddings: 12–18 months
Private events: 3–6 months
Corporate or nonprofit events: 4–9 months

There’s no “right” timeline — only the one that fits your priorities. Saving this for later? You’ll thank yourself.

I'm baaaaaack! And what a way to sign back on with one of my favorite couples- Rae & Adam!

Rae and Adam got married last September Bean Acres with the greatest wedding party by their sides. Both Rae & Adam were so involved with the planning, asking great questions along the way. What's even better? I just saw they are expecting their first child this year! Congratulations you two! 💚

💬 Planning Q&A Thursday
Q: “When’s the best time to start planning a summer wedding?”
A: Right about now! 🌸 Vendors book quickly, especially for outdoor spaces and rental items. Start with your venue and date, then build from there — and remember to leave time for all those fun, personal details ✨.

It’s been a busy year of weddings, fundraisers, and markets — and now it’s time for a little reset 🌿. I’m taking this slower season to rest, reflect, and plan for what’s next. If you’re in your own season of slowing down, here’s your reminder: rest counts as progress too 💛.

Feeling so thankful this season for the organizations and volunteers who pour their hearts into community work 💛. Every event, big or small, has a ripple effect — and it’s incredible to see people come together for a cause that matters.

🌿✨ Today is World Kindness Day, and a simple reminder that kindness doesn’t have to be grand to make an impact.

A smile. A thank you. Checking in on someone. Choosing patience. 💛

The smallest gestures often leave the biggest marks — and they’re what make our communities, our workplaces, and our relationships feel like home.

So today (and every day), let’s lead with kindness. It matters more than we know. 🌼
