Hi! I'm Courtney. I bring a warm, kind, bubbly energy into everything I do. My heart fills when I am able to facilitate meaningful moments and memories that will last a lifetime.

I am detail-oriented, focused and skilled at navigating the complex network of wedding planning. I love nothing more than to jump in and create calm out of chaos, and make it fun along the way!
Whether you are a Do It Yourself-er and need some backup the month leading to your wedding and the day- of, or if you have no idea where to start, I am here to ensure everything goes smoothly and seamlessly. I will focus on communicating with various vendors, designing your floor plan and wedding timeline, and corralling your wedding party. You sweethearts will only have to focus on each other.
