We are fueled by the energy a special event creates. Our goal with any event is to provide a tailored and incredibly personal experience—from the initial planning stages to final goodbyes.
What do we do exactly?
We plan experiences. Both your experience throughout the process, as well as your guests experience at the event. We dive into the ugly parts of planning—logistics, contract negotiations, detailed budgets. We start by outlining your priorities. What do you want to remember about this experience? What do you want your guests to remember about your event? We put pen to paper and carefully curate an event just for you.
We believe the best events are multi-layered, progressive, and delightful. Surprise your guests throughout the night with thoughtful detail and impactful design.

Wedding Collections
We love the frozen moments of time that are created at weddings. We love the families, the emotion and the love. We also know you have many vendors working together on this one day and we know how to keep everyone on the same page. We know the things you forgot to ask. We know the “what if” scenarios. We know the anxiety around planning and spending and wanting to truly step back and actually enjoy your event–because you should. You deserve to be present, relaxed and not worry about the details. We’re here to help you achieve that!
Comprehensive Wedding Planning
This is a full-service, soup-to-nuts planning and design experience. It provides the client with the assured knowledge every detail of your planning and event will be handled precisely. From selecting the perfect venue to curating a vendor team that works with your style, personality and budget, we handle it all. With unlimited in-person, email or phone meetings, we cover everything from transportation and hotel room blocks, to complete design conceptualization and budget management to personal details and attire. Be sure to read the “Design & Production” and “Coordination” paragraphs too–because all of that and more is included with this collection.
Design & Production
We approach design personally. With attention to value, function, experience and budget, we allow the client’s personalities to be the leading voice in design conceptualization. We define your interests and ideas to style a cohesive and visually stunning event. We create a comprehensive design outline, sharing an overall vision, punch words and color palette then breaking down each element of your wedding from a statement bar to paper products to linen choices. We then communicate the approved design outline to all of the necessary vendors, including florist, rental companies, lighting designer, stationery designer, cake artist, to make sure every visual element is cohesive. Each of these design-specific vendors are recommended, met with and booked within our services included in this collection.
Coordination
Beginning more than 60 days from your date, and with unlimited email and phone correspondence, we’ll take over communication with vendors and finalize planning. We’ll create an itinerary and firm up details with your vendor team. After two additional planning meetings, we’ll lead a final walk-through at your venue. On your wedding day, our team oversees all logistics. We set up and style every detail and heirloom. We coordinate the small and large things—from your ceremony processional to family portraits to the quiet moment with just the two of you. We ensure the night runs smoothly and punctually. The night ends with overseeing breakdown and neatly packing away any personal items and gifts.
Destination Wedding Planning
We love working with clients to help them plan a destination wedding stateside or navigate the logistics of planning a wedding internationally. Our destination portfolio includes the British Virgin Islands, the gulf coast of Florida and wine country, California. Our team has the knowledge and skillset to extensively research the desired market, plan logistics and design virtually, and coordinate and manage on-site anywhere in the world!
Corporate Event Planning
Company launch, team meetings, networking events, trade shows and expos, silent auctions and fundraiser galas—we have the knowledge, experience and resources to plan and execute your team meeting of 20 or your fundraiser for 500. Detailed budgets and timelines, strategic marketing, press content and connections, industry resources; we customize every event to your needs.
Editorial Design & Creative Collaboration
Narrative, styled photoshoots can paint a picture for a newly minted company website or create a cohesive aesthetic for a print publication. We love to collaborate with fellow creatives, local shoppes and companies, to produce creative content that benefits both parties. We’re available for workshop design, magazine or blog publication stylings, brand campaigns, and more.
Social Events
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on any occasion that is cause for celebration. An anniversary or birthday party, shower, holiday gathering or family reunion, we’re here to help make it a special memory that you and your guests never forget! And perhaps most importantly, we enable the hosts to enjoy the party--and not stress about logistics.
