What benefits are there to using a wedding planner for newly engaged couples?
"Clarity and a great direction for wedding planning."
Has there ever been a wedding you planned that was outside of your comfort zone? "Plenty. I absolutely love when we can incorporate so many different colors and textures into a wedding scape. It really gets us so excited for how we can really change up the space."
How do you incorporate a couple’s personality within the wedding planning process?
"It's really important to first get to know the couple and understand what makes them happy and how they want to be intertwined in the details. Some couples like to go with more subtle details and others like to really make it a statement. Wedding trends also hold a huge influence on this day and age wedding couples."

"Definitely Meghan Markle and Harry's wedding, I cannot imagine how incredible the rich history and traditions that were incorporated into the wedding."
What is one wedding memory you will always remember?
"My favorite memory of each wedding is the moment the wedding couple walk into the wedding reception space
and see how the whole room comes
together and see the finalized room put
together. Their face of awe is just absolutely incredible and makes my heart so full to know that I was part of
this couple's huge day!" busybeesevents.com
