I always recommend securing your venue as early as possible—ideally 12 to 18 months in advance. Venues are the foundation of your wedding planning: once your date and location are confirmed, every other detail can fall into place smoothly (such as catering, décor, and guest accommodations). If you’re planning a destination wedding or considering a popular season, booking early is even more essential to ensure you have the best options available. The sooner you confirm, the more peace of mind you’ll have—and the more time we’ll have to design every detail around your chosen setting.
I believe every couple deserves my full attention and creativity, so I intentionally take on a limited number of weddings per season. This allows me to dedicate the right amount of time, energy, and care to each event, ensuring a completely personalized experience. My focus is always on quality over quantity—so when you work with me, you can be sure your wedding is never ‘just another event,’ but a unique celebration crafted with detail and heart.
A wedding planner is here to transform your vision into reality while taking away the stress of planning. I will guide you through every step—from helping you find the perfect venue and trusted vendors, to managing budgets, contracts, and timelines. On your wedding day, I ensure everything runs seamlessly so you and your guests can simply enjoy the celebration. My role is not only organizational but also creative: I design and coordinate every detail to reflect your story, your style, and your dreams. Think of me as your confidante, problem-solver, and creative partner, making sure your journey to ‘I do’ is as joyful as the day itself.
I offer tailored packages based on your needs, with clear upfront pricing so there are no surprises—everything is transparent from the start
Usually 1–2 trips are enough—one for venue and key vendors, and another closer to the wedding for final details. The rest we can handle together online
