There are so many wedding venues in Virginia that offer amazing amenities and beautiful ballrooms, ceiling and chandeliers. I have seen quite a few but still have a lot more on my list to visit! I have had many opportunities to experience indoor and outdoor wedding venues in the last 7 years. In the current […]

It’s time to shop for your dream dress! I wanted to share a few tips from a planners perspective as well as from my experience working in a high end Bridal Boutique in my hometown of Richmond, Va. Shopping for your wedding dress should be a fun and exciting experience! Some brides have dreamed of […]

Maggie and Whit got married on March 13th just before the whole world went on lockdown. They definitely got married during a monumental year and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it! Maggie is an Annalise bride and one of my coworkers recommended her to me on a day I wasn’t […]

Claire and JR were honestly the best couple to have as my first Upper Shirley wedding clients!! If you remember me mentioning that I had a huge goal for 2019 which was having a wedding at my dream venue and only 2 months later that dream became a reality. Claire and her mom booked me […]

This is the third time I’ve attempted to write this year in review blog post. Why might you ask? It’s hard. So much happened in 365 days with my business and my personal life. Some might say, “well just write about the business part, that’s what your year in review should be about”, which is […]

It’s not January 1st which means I’m “late to the game” but I’m not. This was on purpose. I don’t know about you but the last 2 years I have thought long and hard about my goals for the year ahead. I’ve gotten excited about them and by the time the 1st comes around I’m […]

It definitely made my Thanksgiving week end with a bang in the most fantastic way! From the details, to the family, to the venue and so much more. It may have been rainy all […]
