Founding owner/Lead Planner

I grew up in Illinois and moved to Southern California in the early 2000's. I met my wonderful husband (online!) in 2010 and we got married in 2013. That's when I fell in love with wedding planning! You see, I found that I loved the planning process just as much as I loved my actual wedding day (don't tell my husband that!)! I just knew, from that point forward, that I had found my calling!

We now have 2 beautiful (and sassy) children that definitely keep us on our toes! I absolutely love rediscovering the world through their eyes!

People would describe me as extremely organized, very attentive to detail, and pretty straight forward. I'm always thinking one step ahead, just to be prepared. To unwind and distract my ever-racing mind, I love shopping, going to the pool, and watching reality TV (think Big Brother, Survivor, etc.)!

MEET KALEN

principal planner & stylist

My passion in life has always been people, their stories and helping to create everlasting memories. I first began as a photographer in the industry but quickly fell in love with wedding planning and the ability to help execute the perfect event for my clients.

The first wedding I had the pleasure of planning was my own in 2017, which of course Holly coordinated. Watching all the details come together was very satisfying and from then I was hooked. Together my husband and I have 4 amazing children, who definitely keep us busy!

In my downtime, you can usually find me volunteering or coaching, reading a good book, or watching stand up comedy specials.
