Can I let you in on a secret? The journey to the aisle isn't about figuring out logistics or picking out designs. I know that's the opposite of what you'd think a wedding planner would say, but it's true! This time should be focused on experiencing new adventures, learning new communications skills, and celebrating your two families coming together. Your engagement should be focused on loving one another in ways that allow you to feel both heard and loved because at the end of this journey is the start of another. Stress, Frustration, and Confusion? They don't belong here.

IN 2016 2 friends of mine trusted me with their wedding. This experience fueled my growth, and I continued to coordinate and plan weddings under Weddings by Devin in the Richmond area through 2019. In 2020 I paused my wedding and event career, moving out of state for a new career opportunity. 4 YEARS LATER I moved back to Virginia, left my job of 8+ years in the corp world & ran towards my true passion of event and wedding planning. I’m the definition of Type A, organized & detail oriented. I thrive on helping clients navigate the often-overwhelming process of event planning to ensure their vision comes to life in a warm and intentional way.
