Hi lovely!

I'm the heart behind The Wedding Muse and the calm, detail-loving wedding bestie you want by your side during one of the most important seasons of your life and on one of the biggest days of your life!

Before becoming a wedding planner, I spent over a decade working in healthcare, where I learned how to stay calm under pressure, think ahead, and take care of people during really important moments. Today, I bring that same steady, caring energy into every wedding I’m part of.

As a certified wedding planner, I'm your timeline architect, behind the scenes ninja, problem-solving wedding bestie. I’m who quietly makes sure everything runs smoothly, from managing wedding day timeline and vendors to fixing the little things before you even notice them. My couples often tell me they felt more relaxed simply knowing I was there.

My goal behind all of this is simple: I want you to feel supported, confident, and completely free to soak in every magical moment of your wedding day while I take care of the rest.

Because you shouldn’t have to manage your wedding…
you should get to fully experience it!

Services

Thoughtfully managed from your first toast to your final send-off

For intimate celebrations and courthouse “I do’s” followed by a beautifully coordinated evening.

I step in to create your custom reception timeline, coordinate with your vendor team, oversee setup, and manage every transition throughout the evening, from grand entrances to toasts, dining, and your final send-off.

So you can be fully present with your guests, knowing every detail is thoughtfully handled and the entire experience flows seamlessly from start to finish.

For couples who’ve started planning but are realizing they don’t want to figure everything out alone.

The perfect balance between doing it yourself and having a professional by your side.

You’ve made some progress, maybe secured your venue or a few vendors, but now you want guidance, clarity, and someone you trust to help bring it all together.

I step in to refine your vision, create cohesive design direction (including custom mood boards), and recommend trusted vendors that truly align with your style and priorities. From there, I guide decisions, assist with vendor communication and booking, and help organize the moving pieces so everything starts to feel clear instead of overwhelming.

As your wedding approaches, I help develop your timeline and ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered, so nothing is missed and everything flows exactly as it should.

You’re still part of the process, but you’re no longer carrying it alone. Just supported, confident, and actually able to enjoy it.

A high-touch & luxurious start-to-finish experience designed with intention and managed with care.

Prefer to hand everything over and truly enjoy the process?

From the very beginning, I step in as your trusted guide managing every detail from design and vendor curation to timelines, logistics, and seamless coordination.

Together, we’ll shape your vision through curated inspiration and custom mood boards, then bring it to life with a thoughtfully selected team of trusted vendors. I handle research, recommendations, contract guidance, and appointment scheduling so every decision feels clear, aligned, and effortless.

As your plans come together, I create your custom master timeline, oversee communication with your vendor team, and ensure every detail is organized with care and intention.

Your experience extends beyond the wedding day itself, I coordinate your rehearsal, and can assist with rehearsal dinner and next-day brunch recommendations and reservations, so the celebration flows beautifully from beginning to end.

On your wedding day, everything is executed with care and precision by a dedicated team, allowing you to be fully present, relaxed, and immersed in every moment.

Whether you need reception coordination, wedding day oversight, or comprehensive planning support, each package is intentionally crafted to bring clarity, structure, and peace of mind to your celebration.
