Thrilled to be named a Best Planner by @brides for my 4th year! Thank you to all of my clients and creative partners who help me make the magic happen and a special thanks to @annapriceolson and the ladies at Brides for working so hard on putting this list together. It means so much to all of us to be recognized for what we do. @peytonfrank is the best for putting this video together for me ❤️
Our last event before Miss Rona shut everything down, and she was a beaut. So much going on behind the scenes this past year, but not much in front. We don’t kick things off again until fall, so get used to seeing this flower-filled gal in all of her intricate color palette glory, as well as some “throw backs”. The only alternative is me posting my lunches and cats, yall. @josevilla | @maxowensdesign | @theolanatx | @whimhospitality | @peytonfrank
Gilded western met modern indulgence at The Hotel Crescent in Fort Worth. The tables were overflowing with greenery to feel like a field brought indoors. Our menus took center stage — walnut wood, playful type inspired by the girl dinner culinary experience, and a pale gold mirrored acrylic starburst brought the whole look into focus.

The magic in the details. ✨ Every element of Gilded West hosted at the Conservatory at The Crescent was a tribute to the enduring legacy of Fort Worth – an elevated western expression shaped by impeccable detail. Curated tablescapes layered with texture and warmth set the tone, while Executive Chef @chefprestonpaine ’s thoughtful menu carried the narrative of the event with refined, Western-inspired flavor. Live music performances filled the space, the bar stirred spirits both crafted and classic, and bespoke table settings framed each conversation. From the seating vignette to the final bite, the event proved that true elegance is woven from the smallest details, each one an ode to the modern West.

Planning your wedding isn’t my “dream job.”
It’s just what I happen to be pretty damn good at.
I’m a former live TV director who’s allergic to copy-paste weddings, has a high bullshit detector, and lives for logistics with a creative streak. I don’t do vague timelines, soft budgets, or trend-chasing (except this video I was forced to do against my will by my social media team). I do real talk, bold ideas, and getting it done - on time, sometimes on budget (let's be real, yall have expensive taste), and with zero surprises.
If you’re looking for someone to nod politely and say yes to everything… could never be me.
If you want a planner who will take the reins, elevate the vision, and make sure everyone (including you) knows what the hell they’re doing - let’s talk.
Stop falling for wedding industry propaganda
The same people telling you to "keep it simple" are the ones profiting off your insecurity. Your wedding budget isn't too big, your color palette isn't too bold, and your guest count isn't too small.
Kirby's after-party went full nocturnal glamour, proving that sometimes the absence of color makes the most powerful images

Sarah and Zach wrapped up their brunch wedding the only way you should in Cape May on Memorial Day weekend, at the beach, cooler full of rosé, watching the sunset with their favorite people toasting to forever with plastic cups and your ride-or-dies.
Happy anniversary, Sarah and Zach. Here's to many more sunsets together.
