Happy Halloween everyone! I know it has been a while since I have posted or reached out. I have recently been undergoing some major life changes and am still in transition, but want you all to know that I am still here! I have some really exciting events and partnerships under contract to look forwardContinue reading “Happy Halloween!”

Three summers ago, when I started this business, I coordinated a sweet little wedding out near Corbett. My thoughts are with the host family as they are in the area on the evacuation list from the Eagle Creek Fire. I have so much anger towards those teens who mindlessly started the fire.

Outdoor wedding venues in the Willamette Valley are seasonal, and fully rely on gorgeous weather to beContinue reading “I couldn’t be more relieved…”

I just took a look around the mess that surrounds me. There are wedding decoration budget spreadsheets open in four tabs of my browser. I’ve got several PDF venue contracts open which make the fan on my laptop speed up with that recognizable ‘whooshing’ sound, symbolizing “she’s getting hot captain!” I’m feeling the heat and looking for daycareContinue reading “Feeling Blessed”
