Hi There!

I’m a Northern Virginia native, but call Virginia Beach and Richmond my home. I am a graduate of Radford University, where I met my husband. We have two fur babies, Wilson and Stella! When I am not planning luxe events, I can be found trying a new restaurant or traveling to the next destination on my bucket list with my husband.

Planning and design have been a passion of mine ever since I was a little girl. I founded this business to pursue my dreams of helping to bring awe-inspiring visions to life by creating distinct and memorable wedding days. My goal is to always help inspire my couples during the planning process. I believe that every couple is unique and their wedding should absolutely reflect that as well!

Our approach is collaborative, with our couples and vendor network. We work closely with couples to understand their vision and bring it to life with the help of a curated team of vendors that fit your budget and style. Our couples come in as clients but always leave as friends - and we wouldn’t have it any other way. There is no greater joy to us than getting to know our couples and working together throughout the planning process, from our first chat all the way to the last piece of confetti falling! I can’t wait to help make sure your dreams become a reality!

XO, Hallie
