ABOUT US
"Extremely organized" and "thorough" are words that have been used to describe our team.
For us, we focus on the details and think that every milestone deserves a celebration, not just the big ones.
We see ourselves as the ultimate partner in event planning and seek to create an experience unlike any other. We'll approach your event with high levels of attention to detail and communication and promise you'll walk away not only as a favorite client, but also as a friend.
We welcome all kinds of couples, regardless of their sexuality, gender, race, religion, or body size.
We work with guests lists, budgets, and events of all sizes that place a value on creating a quality guest experience.
Columbia, Missouri is home but we love a good road trip and serve all over our beautiful state – Columbia, Jefferson City, Lake of the Ozarks, Saint Louis, Kansas City, Hannibal, Branson, Springfield, Joplin and every great place to call home in between.

Entertaining & planning events is what I was born to do...
My dedication to organization and the details found it's way into event planning at an early age as I would make it a habit to celebrate my birthday for a month at a time. (Still do years later!)
Growing up in a very social family with a knack for hosting events, I quickly learned how to be the "hostess with the mostest" and became the planner for just about any event I could.
Fast forward and I took the leap in October of 2019 to put wheels on this crazy dream of mine to bring quality, fun, and service driven wedding and event planning to my community and I haven't looked back since!
Today, it's my goal to take the headache out of planning weddings and events so clients can receive the gift of enjoying an amazing memory created especially for them! When I asked myself what I wanted my clients to feel after they worked with me, it was an easy answer... DELIGHT!
I adore fun couples, a lively party, and fine details that come together
to tell a grand story. I've never walked away from an event without calling my client a good friend and never will. It's my goal to put relationships at the forefront of my work.
Personally, first and foremost, I'm married to my husband Scott, momma to Auggie and bonus momma to 3, and I'm a lover of my animals, Ava and Louis. In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors and you'll find me most Sunday's at Coopers Landing, Chiefs football, any sort of basketball game, and creating outrageous Amazon carts only to press "save for later" the next day. I never pass up a reason to wear bright colors or sequins or share a slice of cake. I promise to be your biggest hype girl and right hand (wo)man on your big day!
It would be my absolute privilege to serve you!
