Maya Moves was created for couples who want to feel confident on the dance floor without committing to multiple lessons. The private one-hour session begins by reviewing your wedding details and song. Your dance is kept short (about 1:30–2 minutes) so it feels natural and easy to remember. You’ll learn how to stand comfortably together and 3–4 signature moves (a dip, a spin, and moments that fit your song’s vibe). No traditional ballroom steps, just modern, natural movement that looks effortless. You record videos at the end to help when practicing. Maya Moves offers private wedding dance lessons in NYC and over Zoom.

Your day should be as special and unique as your love story. But you have a budget. When my daughters got married, I needed a killer guest favor that would do triple duty; favor, snack, and table decor. I've always loved playing with graphics, so I challenged myself to create paper wrappers for full sized Hershey bars. They were a BIG hit, and I started making more for family celebrations. Guests would tell me that I should sell these, and I thought, "Why not?", and Sweeter Celebrations was born. Let me help you wow your guests with a favor they actually want!
