Question 1

Do you take on multiple weddings in a day or weekend?

Accepted Answer

No! In fact, I take on a max of 12 full-service weddings per year, about one per month, in order to focus fully on each couple. I do take on several virtual clients at a time, but since those packages do not include day-of coordination, I'll never be bouncing back and forth between events on a single day or weekend.

Question 2

How much time should we expect to spend with you?

Accepted Answer

As much or as little makes sense for you! I'm available for phone, virtual, or in-person meetings as well as text and email. However you prefer to communicate, I'll be there to respond!

Question 3

Are you part of a team? Who will we be working with?

Accepted Answer

I'm a one-woman show! Depending on the complexity of your wedding, I may bring on an assistant or two for the day of, but you'll work directly with me throughout the planning process.

Question 4

Do you also plan other events, like showers or rehearsal dinners?

Accepted Answer

Yes! However, these must be added on to a full-service package; I don't plan these events as one-offs.

Question 5

Describe your experience. How many weddings have you planned, and what are they like? Any specialties?

Accepted Answer

I've planned everything from 10-person elopement lunches to 500-guest country club buyout weddings! I love the uniqueness of each wedding and each couple. My specialty is helping couples remain calm and relaxed on their wedding day by ensuring every detail is handled smoothly, regardless of the size, location, or complexity of the wedding.

Question 6

Can you help with destination or out-of-state weddings?

Accepted Answer

Yes! While I’m based in Washington State, I offer virtual planning services and am happy to assist with destination weddings and elopements. I've noted some other locations I'm familiar with in the markets that I serve, but I'm always excited to travel and work somewhere new!

Question 7

Do you charge travel fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no. As you can see in my profile, there are several markets outside of Washington that I'm experienced in, and I'm happy to travel wherever you need me! However, I don't charge a specific "travel fee"—it’s already factored into your total proposal cost for a seamless, all-inclusive rate.

Question 8

Do you work with all couples?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Love is love, and I’m dedicated to creating inclusive, welcoming, and meaningful celebrations for every couple. I can't wait to hear your love story!

I offer several Virtual Wedding Planning packages that combine a la carte services like budget planning, RSVP management, and timeline creation for those couples who have most of their planning handled but need expert guidance to tie up the final details.
