Fun Facts:
- Music is my therapy
- I ‘m pretty obsessed with my dog and normally take 5-10 pictures of him a day.
- After buying two wedding dresses for my wedding, most wedding dress shops here in Connecticut cut me off.
- I married my husband twice.. I am trying for a third wedding in Vegas..How much fun would it be to renew our vows by Elvis in a little chapel? It also gives me the chance to wear a Hayley Paige gown.
- I normally text my husband after a ceremony to tell him I love him and I am so lucky to have him in my life..yes I am a cheeseball!
- I’m a total germaphobe. If you tell me your sick I will slowly move away and most likely put hand sanitizer on my hands.
- If I wasn’t a wedding planner I would most like be a police officer. I want to help others but, I’m just too emotional to be a cop.
- I will start a dance party anywhere good music is playing. (I try to contain myself at my client’s weddings).
- I can’t live without lipgloss..or gum..literally I’m a ghost if I don’t have either of these.
- I live on watching the ID channel. The problem is I scare myself into thinking someone’s in the house and then I can’t sleep.
Favorite Venues:
Ugh! This is a hard one! I love vineyards, private homes and tented weddings best!

The storytelling. You can learn so much about a couple’s love story through the various details of their wedding day.
