MY FIRST REAL FORAY INTO EVENT PLANNING?
Was when I threw my parents a surprise off-site 25th wedding anniversary party - before I was old enough to drive or hold a job (not recommended!). But, it was that experience that sparked my passion for all things festive; something that has only been reinforced by my love of beauty, God’s plan for marriage, and of course - food (hence the name!).
Working with and on behalf of my delightful clients, soaking up the joys of motherhood, and basking in sunny days with good book and a glass of iced coffee.
Beating around the bush, wasting (money, resources etc.), eating meals that aren't delicious.
Hard work and integrity, that "a failure to plan is a plan to fail". That there is joy in every season, and that ice cream can be eaten at any hour of the day.
On a personal level, I love to work with color and enjoy a design challenge. One of my favorite parts of being a wedding planner in Virigina and West Virgina is the natural beauty that abounds. I have been blessed to live most of my life in the Shenandoah Valley – it is a beautiful place for work and play. When I’m not fine-tuning the particulars of an event, you can find me spending time with my family - probably in the kitchen and generally seeking to live a life the glorifies the name of Jesus.
My favorite part of being a wedding planner? Getting to share in the sparkle of our wonderful couples as they embark on their lives together!
