My planner really brought the fun back into the process for me. I loved that she embraced my ideas and feedback throughout the process, because like me, she's a creative spirit with a ton of great ideas. I know my wedding turned out better because of her. We really became like long-time friends that could laugh and joke about my crazy ideas, anxieties etc."
Shari King-Thomas
I've been in the wedding planning industry for over 14 years. As a former middle school and high school Language Arts teacher I was a natural project manager and wrangler of people. I was always a creative with a passion for all things interior and fashion design, so I naturally gravitated to wedding planning as it incorporated these elements and so much more. Overall, I love the institution of marriage, and as a wife and minister, I'm able to bring my couples clarity about their purpose of coming together that lasts well beyond the wedding day.
We're passionate about serving our clients with a spirit of excellence and ultimately allowing them to enjoy their brief season of engagement with peace and excitement. Our couples become like an extension of our family, and we often become a sounding board and shoulder to lean on during a time that can be full of emotion. There's nothing more satisfying than knowing that our clients fully trust our expertise, vision, and intention to always keep their best interests at the forefront of our leadership.
