I stumbled into a job with a wedding planning company while searching for a creative outlet—and I instantly fell in love with it. I realized how naturally it blended everything I was looking for: a space where I could channel both my Type A, hyper-organized nature and my love for artistry and design. With a background in hospitality and a degree in design, it felt like the perfect fit. I’ve always thrived in the social energy of events, but it’s the emotional depth of weddings that keeps me inspired. I live for those unfiltered, unforgettable moments—like when a couple sees each other for the first time. My goal is to create space for those moments to unfold, so my clients can be fully present in the joy and meaning of it all.
When my couples look back on their wedding day, I want them to feel like it was the most incredible day of their lives—truly unforgettable in every way. No regrets, no second guesses—just total confidence that every detail reflected them and that they were fully present for every beautiful moment. I want them to remember how it felt: joyful, effortless, deeply personal… and to wish they could relive it all over again. My goal is to create a day so seamless and meaningful that the only thing they’re left wanting is more time to soak it all in.
Outside of the wedding world, I’m constantly inspired by architecture and fashion—especially European influences. There’s something about the balance of structure and artistry in historic buildings, tailored silhouettes, and old-world craftsmanship that translates beautifully into event design. I’m drawn to thoughtful details, layered textures, and timeless elegance—elements that tell a story without saying a word. Whether it’s the curve of a staircase, the stitching on a couture gown, or the patina of aged stone, I find endless inspiration in the way design can evoke emotion and create a sense of place.
What lights me up most is when a client comes to me with the desire to do something different—something unexpected—and gives me complete creative freedom to bring it to life. There’s a special kind of magic that happens when a couple fully trusts me and my team, even if they can’t quite see the vision yet. That’s when we get to dream big, push boundaries, and create something truly memorable—an experience that’s not only beautiful, but completely unique to them. Those are the weddings that stay with you.
I’ve been lucky to travel quite a bit, and every place I visit leaves a mark—but there’s something about historic Rome that truly captivates me. The layers of old Roman architecture, the sense of timelessness, the atmosphere—it would be a dream to plan a wedding that draws from that rich history and beauty. That said, what excites me most is designing events that embrace their surroundings. Whether it’s a villa in Italy, a coastal town, or a tucked-away gem, I love leaning into the local culture and letting the setting shape the experience.
