A little about me: I have three fur babies. Tilly (cat), Jax (Morkie), and Penny (Golden Doodle). I live in Amelia Island, Florida. I am obsessed with anything and everything Disney. I have an interesting background to say the least. Like most recent high school graduates, I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I knew I had two passions! I loved to throw parties and was completely obsessed with true crime television. Back then I had no clue that party planning was a real job. Social media wasn’t as big and there definitely was no Pinterest. Realistically thinking I needed a career. I decided I wanted to become a Detective! Yes.. just like on the serial killer documentaries I loved. I eventually graduated from the University of North Florida majoring in Criminal Justice and double minoring in Psychology and Business.

While in college, I never stopped throwing parties! I was always planning birthday parties, showers, themed parties, holiday parties, annual parties, and I even organized a big charity fundraising event. I took party planning to a whole new level. I was extremely detailed and task oriented. My friends would even make jokes at the fact that I had “party planning meetings” and “party planning teams” for a party. It was more than just a party to me. It was seeing my ideas come to life and seeing everyone’s faces when they arrived. People close to me began getting engaged. I was asked to help plan and execute weddings. Something magical happened.. while the brides were stressing over the details, I was the complete opposite. I got an adrenaline rush! 

I realized that Wedding Planning was a legit thing that I could make a career out of. a few of my friends trusted me with their special day and that is when the addiction began. I enjoyed talking to vendors. I absolutely thrived with the wedding timeline! I created a “wedding day guide” for my friends. I gave the packet to every vendor and every person in the wedding party. My goal was to make sure that any question that could possibly arise was answered in the guide so that no one would have to bother the bride and groom that day. After seeing my “wedding day guide”, I was approached by people who were impressed at how meticulous, detailed, and organized it was. I WAS GREATLY ENCOURAGED TO PURSUE THIS CAREER AND

That, my friends, is how a wedding planner was made. 

After college, I took a job as a police officer and worked my way up to Detective. I will save all of my cool Detective stories for when we chat! Many people say that a Detective and a Wedding Planner are completely different. That could not be further from the truth! Being a Detective I’ve had to be able to multitask many duties at once, problem solved, think outside of the box, handle difficult situations, communicate, network, and ultimately tell a story!!!! While an investigation is a story of it’s own, a wedding is a love story!! 

My ultimate goal as your wedding planner is to tell your beautiful love story. When your day comes, I promise I will be the one trying not to cry while fixing the bottom of your dress as I am sending you down the aisle to your…

happily ever after.
