My event planning website published today!!!

Laura and Keiths wedding featured on Brooklyn Bride!

Yay! The photos are in--Photographed by the awesome Khaki Bedford Photography-- A successful event I coordinated this Spring; the wedding of Laura and Keith took place at the Green Building in Carroll Gardens Brooklyn. The Bride chose a rustic but elegant theme and to top off the already beautiful/unique event the couple had dinner served through food trucks parked just outside the venue. What a cute idea and the guests loved it!

Add feathers for a bit of a pop to a classic bouquet.

I decided to add a little twist to my D.I.Y. wedding emergency kit for my rustic/modern bride. I found these AMAZING over sized Mason Jars at Target; http://www.target.com/p/ball-collector-s-jar-/-/A-12794404 and used them in replace of your typical basket or bag. I stuffed it with all kinds of wedding day must haves such as a tide bleach pen, sewing kit, protein bars, band aids, bobby pins, etc.

I found these simple, cute Thank You notes on Etsy at; https://www.etsy.com//handmade-newsprint-thank-you-notes-w. I sent them to my rustic/modern bride so she could remember to say thanks to those who helped her along the way during the planning process.

I've been MIA from this page for a little over a year now :-( but recently life has taken some AWESOME turns and I am BACK and ready as ever!

Check out my wedding wire page. Awesome discounts for July and August brides!

Ladies its wedding season!!! Are you a bride on a budget? Have you spent the last year planning every grueling detail of your special day and you'd like to make sure everything goes exactly how you planned? Would you like to relax the month of your wedding and know that all the last minute details are being communicated? Would you like to relax on your wedding day, knowing that all of your plans and hard work are not going to waste? Why not hire a month-of-planner?

It is official! I've finally taken the plunge and started my Month-of-Event Coordinator business! I'm truly thankful to all of my friends and family who believed in me and inspired me and pushed me to take a venture into something that truly makes me smile! #nomoreordinary
