I caught the planning bug back in 1994 when I planned a formal dance at my high school. At 17 years old, I successfully organized the entire event - without the help of the internet! Since then, life has lead me down different paths where I have worked as everything from an executive paralegal for a Fortune 500 company to a diamond salesperson for the largest jewelry chain in the United States. In almost every job I have had, I have been responsible for some type of project/event management.
Over the years, I also helped plan several weddings for friends and family (and even a couple for myself!), but continued to work corporate jobs primarily.
I moved to Germany a few years back with my then husband, and was unable to work while living overseas, so I spent my time travelling as much as possible. Unfortunately, due to a domestic violence situation I had to leave Germany early to come home to Georgia and rebuild my life. I decided to turn a horrific situation into something positive, as I could now follow my true passion!
More than 150 later, and I can’t express how grateful and lucky I am to be able to do what I love for a living! I consider it a true honor when couples trust me with their wedding day. Every time I see my clients share their first kiss as a married couple, I still get a little giddy inside. At the end of the day, I measure my success by the smiles on the faces of my couples, and I look forward to seeing many more in the years to come!
