Hometown: Winter Springs, FL. Graduate of the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!) followed by a few fabulous years in Charleston, SC. I now reside in Annandale, VA with my husband, Jon, daughter, Isla, and son, Brooks.

Loves: My amazingly supportive friends and family, all things Southern- especially the food (I make some mean shrimp and grits), peonies, being on the water, football season, and everything from the 80's. 

Favorite part about planning: Building relationships with my clients throughout the process and getting to see their joy on the day-of. No matter the type, size, or budget of the event, I feel incredibly rewarded seeing the final product come together and having a happy client! That is why I do what I do.

Principal & Lead Planner

Favorite Part of Event Planning: I love the wedding day excitement! I love taking on my clients' priorities as my own. Marriage is very special to me. I feel, in some small way, I'm helping my clients celebrate the start a great adventure. It's very rewarding. 

Associate Planner

Background: I’ve been in the events industry for 12 years, gaining expertise from work in hotels, associations and venues across the city. I spent much of that time with Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants, mostly coordinating weddings. In addition to planning local weddings, I’ve been very fortunate recently to travel around the world several times a year executing corporate and social events. 

Hometown: Cumberland, ME. After graduating from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in upstate New York, I lived in Boston, where I met my husband! We moved to the DC area 8 years ago. After we got married, we left the city and bought a house in Fort Washington, MD. We are renovating, decorating and loving the ‘burbs.

Loves: Midcentury décor mixed with modern accents, Provence rosé during a brilliant sunset, overflowing cheese & charcuterie boards, organic floral arrangements filled with fluffy flowers, off-season walks on the beaches in Maine, experiencing new cities & countries like a local

Favorite Part about Event Planning: Appreciating the little moments between the big ones on the wedding day - quietly calming the bride before she walks down the aisle, the emotional groom as he sees his bride for the first time, the mother of the bride lovingly watching the father-daughter dance, the touching maid of honor speech, the bride and groom’s exhausted, jubilant final twirl on the dance floor. After all the hard work with the couple during their planning process, I feel like part of the family, so I treasure these moments too.

Associate Planner
