We are the team lead for your vendors keeping things on schedule or adjusting as things happen and they sometimes do, we problem solve as issues come up so you don’t hear about them while we remain calm and friendly. Our wedding management collection is the minimum service because we know it allows us to deliver the excellent service you deserve and we are not satisfied with anything less. Our role is much more than what you may have in mind for day-of coordinator as we always go the extra mile and our reviews from our satisfied client showcase the results. Wedding Management is the peace of mind you deserve for your special day!

We are  excited to chat with you about your vision and where you are in the planning process so we can help you determine which collection would be the best fit to make your big day stress free and fabulous!
