UVA Chapel WeddingSo. You’re about to plan your wedding – the biggest, probably most expensive, and hopefully most memorable day of your life. That’s a lot of pressure. And you’ve decided to hire an experienced professional to help you. Good call! See? You’re doing great already.

Along the way, we’re going to:

  • Help you stay on track with your to-do list, so you don’t arrive at your wedding day stressed and exhausted.
  • Help you find trusted, reliable vendors.
  • Help you stick with your budget.
  • Help you remember all the logistical details.
  • Listen, without judging, when you need to vent.

We just want to ask one thing from you: Relax!

When you start overthinking things, relax. This is why you hired us. It’s our job to keep track of every detail.

When you start worrying about what might go wrong, relax. We’ve seen it all before, and it’s our job to fix any glitch that might come up.

When you want to supervise every tiny detail, relax. We'll help you choose a great wedding team, and you can trust these vendors to get the job done right.

When your wedding is a week away, relax. We’ve got this. It’s time to put down that wedding checklist and go out to dinner with your beloved. Time to start focusing on the marriage instead of the wedding.

Most importantly – when it’s your wedding day and your guests have arrived, relax! Don’t waste a single minute worrying about the details. THIS is why you hired us: so you can enjoy a fabulous wedding day with your loved ones.
