TRACIE MORRIS, CEO + Detroit Certified Wedding Planner
Meet Tracie
Why You Should Hire Me!
Hi! I’m Tracie—passionate, transparent, and deeply committed to giving couples the stress-free wedding experience they deserve. When we work together, you’re never navigating decisions or details alone. Most couples tell me they wish they had reached out so much sooner—and you’ll feel that same relief the moment we connect.
I’ve been obsessed with weddings since 1999, when I became a Certified Wedding Planner through Weddings Beautiful Worldwide. With 26 years of hands-on experience, national features, and multiple awards, it’s rare to find another certified, highly vetted planner in Detroit with my level of expertise.
Top venues like Saint John’s Resort and Fox Hills Golf Club personally recommend me because of my proven track record with hundreds of happy couples. My background as a catering sales manager, combined with degrees in business, marketing, and travel, means I approach every wedding like an architect—turning empty spaces into extraordinary celebrations.
From flawless logistics to thoughtful design, I excel at problem-solving on the fly, managing vendors, and bringing your vision to life with creativity, precision, and care. My clients feel supported every step of the way—and they see the difference in the results my team delivers.
Your wedding deserves expertise, intention, and someone you can trust with every detail.

My Secret Sauce…
My Approach To Your Wedding
I believe every couple deserves a wedding that truly reflects their love story. That’s why my team and I take the time to get to know you—so your celebration feels personal, intentional, and uniquely yours. From selecting the right venue to curating florals to building a flawless timeline, I’m a logistics expert who ensures nothing is overlooked.
My couples are busy—working, studying, and juggling life. You don’t have hours to decipher contracts, manage vendors, create floor plans, or learn wedding etiquette. That’s where I step in as your Detroit Certified Wedding Planner. I handle the details so you can enjoy the experience.
My passion for weddings started young—from admiring every detail at family celebrations to planning school events and being voted “Most Organized” by my classmates.
Let me bring my lifelong love of events and professional expertise together to create the wedding you’ve been dreaming of—without the stress.
