What is your trademark or super power?
Managing chaos with a BIG smile on my face!
What do your specialties include?
I'm a boutique event planning company, so I have the luxury of working one-on-one with my couples and providing them with an exclusive and intimate planning experience, either virtually or in person. I could go on and on about how detail oriented I am or how I can solve problems on the fly. But what I think is more important, is that I have the ability to connect with my couples and provide them with a stress free planning experience; something that most brides would love to have. Everybody deserves to enjoy their wedding day.
Do you have a signature aesthetic?
Each of my weddings represents the couple so while I don't have a signature aesthetic for all of my events, I would say that I gravitate towards a Timeless & Classic style - I love a good trend, but classic never goes out of style.
Who is your dream client?
My couples are busy professionals who don't have time to handle the details of planning their wedding. They are either local to Middle Tennessee or are originally from Middle Tennessee but have since moved out of state. They have a clear vision for their big day and put their 100% trust in me to make it a reality.
What are the first steps you take with new clients?
I love connecting with clients and building a relationship first! Couples spend so much time working with me throughout the months leading up to their big day. It's so important that we mesh well and more importantly, that we get along. I take time learning their communication styles, interests, and personalities. In doing so, they learn the same about me! These pieces are key to building a strong relationship, all of which are built on trust.
On my days off you can find me…
Spending time with family, enjoying a hot yoga class, or scoping out another hidden gem in Nashville. I love exploring and trying new things.
I’m dying to take a trip to…
Europe! I studied in London for one year and it just wasn't enough time. I want to go back and travel across Europe. There's so much to see!
If you owned a restaurant, what food would it serve?
Seafood! I'm a New England girl, what can I say.
