"I met Valerie and quickly realized a coordinator and wedding designer is what we needed! Before the big day we had a few meeting where Valerie presented me with very detailed information and asked all the right questions to make sure she had every ounce of detail she needed. Along with coordinating she helped with decor and created a beautiful vision.


"Best Wedding Decision We Could Have Made!"

The night before she was hard at work helping decorate our barn from table settings to hanging drapes, and doing an aisle walk through for our wedding party.

Day of, Valerie coordinated with all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about a single thing. Our day would not have been what it was without all of her help both decorating and coordinating and is the BEST wedding decision we could have made. I would 100% recommend Valerie to anyone planning a wedding or any party!"  

Valerie was an invaluable team member for our elopement! Since she had recently been to Iceland, she was able to scout some locations and figure out what would be possible for our day as far as transportation and any stops we needed to make. She made us a day of schedule that had everything we wanted on it, and she had a back up to the back up plan as well, which I appreciate so much!
Valerie also took care of the items we would need for a picnic and the florals that we used. We opted for faux greenery bouquets (no flowers, just leaves and thistle, and it was GORGEOUS) and pocket square (highly recommend pocket square florals instead of a traditional boutonniere!) Valerie listened to everything we wanted and got our input and approval during the planning process. We felt heard and we really loved her suggestions as well!
She is an actual gem of a human and we felt so lucky to work with her. (did I mention she did all of this in less than a month?) she made sure to have multiple check ins with us and was in communication with us every step of the way. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her!

" Valerie was INVALUABLE for our Elopement in Iceland"

I handle all the details—from timelines and vendor communication to problem-solving and the rehearsal. I make sure everyone is where they should be and manage the little things that make a big impact, so you can enjoy every moment with peace of mind.
