Ready to meet for that coffee date? Let's do it!
WE’LL BE A GREAT FIT IF…
You love the idea of saying I DO with the jaw-dropping backdrops of the West Coast.
You want that incredible wedding but don’t want the planning to takeover your life.
You want to be involved in the planning decisions but want to streamline the process so you’re choosing the right fit for the best value.
You throw away the thought of a fully traditional wedding to add in your own unique traditions that reflect you both.
You believe in celebrating your big day rather than working it.
You believe in planning a marriage more beautiful than your wedding.
1. You're hoping for a planning bestie in this process. Trust me, I will be MORE excited about your wedding than you.
2. You aim to showcase the unparalleled charm of the West Coast! I thrive on orchestrating weddings that push logistical boundaries.
3. Your vision extends beyond the wedding day—let's create a marriage that's even more beautiful.
4. You want to embrace breaking tradition. Choose only the ones that are meaningful to you.
5. Efficiency, meticulous spreadsheets, and planning sessions over a glass of wine catered to organizational, Type A personalities.
Meet Stephanie
Owner, Planner + Officiant
I'm the mushy-gushy, bubbly, organization-obsessed Wedding Planner. I believe in strong relationships and building that foundation during the planning process. I enjoy helping time-strapped couples plan, simplify and personalize their once-in-a-lifetime moment, so it turns out to be everything they ever hoped it would be (and then some.) I truly believe in a marriage more beautiful than your wedding and am happy to continue the celebration of your marriage as your officiant.
