Our Services

Event Management (you may know it as month of coordination). We'll give you the wedding planning workbook to help keep all your wedding details and expenses on track. We'll meet a few times (and text lots) before your big day, taking over vendor communication, creating timelines for your vendor team and the wedding party, running your rehearsal and setting up, taking down and handling minor emergencies day of. You plan all the big details and select the vendors you love, we'll make it all come together and allow you to actually enjoy the day stress free.

Partial and full planning is for the couples who want a professional hand in the selection of vendors that meet their style and budget needs, freuquent meetings to keep them on track of tasks, and planners to do the heavy lifting of research and selection for their day. You get to enjoy your engagement and show up for the fun details (cake tasting anyone?) while we are basically your personal assistant for all things wedding during the process.

Let's get started today!

Your wedding hero

We will sing from the rooftops a massive recommendation to anyone planning a wedding - hire Julia!!! We hired her for month of coordination, and everything she did was exactly what we needed. From set up to take down, we didn’t have to lift a single finger. All she needed was a couple of inspiration photos, and she executed it all perfectly. We didn’t even see her putting away all of the decor thru the night! Even though the timeline started late due to late guests, she worked her magic and made sure everything we wanted to do was still fit in by the time the photographers had to leave. Julia was an absolute dream to work with. Any changes or questions were addressed immediately and she handled it all with the grace and strength that we didn’t know we needed. She kept me calm when I was stressing about the timeline a couple of times and was always there when we needed her. It was like dealing with a friend from beginning to end, so fun and so personable! She is who you need to ensure your day goes perfectly and stress-free.
