About April May's Wedding Planning

April Stephens

Planner/Owner

As a graduate of the New York Institute of Art and Design, I bring formal design training and meticulous planning to your wedding. My goal is to make your dreams come true and deliver a seamless, beautiful celebration. True success is the smile on your face when you see your vision come to life. I handle every detail with care so you can focus entirely on enjoying your special day. Let us create an unforgettable reality together.

What sets me apart isn't just my design degree it’s my life experience. As a 4 mother of five, I've mastered the complexities of logistics, tight schedules, and diverse personalities under pressure. When wedding days pivot or family dynamics surface, my crisis-management skills kick in behind the scenes. I built this business because I genuinely care. Success is that moment you look around your reception, breathe easy, and smile with pure happiness. Work with me, and you gain an advocate who protects your peace like family. Let’s make your dream wedding a reality!

In three words: Calm, Empathetic, Supportive

    Amazing

    Working with April May's Wedding Planning was such a relief from start to finish. She was kind and sweet throughout the entire process, and I felt supported every step of the way. April made sure our timeline stayed on track and that all the important people in our lives were there to celebrate with us. Her attention to detail and genuine care for making our day special really showed. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a planner who actually listens and puts your needs first. We couldn't have asked for better.

    Choosing April May's Wedding Planning was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our first conversation, April was kind and genuinely cared about making our day special. She worked incredibly hard throughout the planning process to handle all the details, and on the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. April stayed on top of every moment and stepped in whenever we needed her, which gave us peace of mind to actually enjoy celebrating with our guests. Her dedication to getting every detail right made such a difference. We can't thank April enough for how much she cared about us and our wedding

A wedding is a massive logistical production. Hiring a professional protects your time, keeps you on budget, prevents costly vendor mistakes, and completely eliminates your stress on the wedding day so you can enjoy your celebration.
While our baseline packages (Full-Service, Partial, Day-Of, and Microwedding) are designed to cover standard needs, we can absolutely add tailored solutions—such as extra meetings, permit handling, or assistance with welcome parties—to any contract.
Full-service means we handle the logistics from concept to cleanup. We design your overall aesthetic, build your budget framework, source and vet every single vendor, review all contracts, build your master timeline, and provide absolute on-site management on the wedding day.
With Full-Service, we source your venue and build your vendor team from scratch. In Partial Planning, you book the venue and major vendors first, and then we step in to handle logistical management, design refinements, and remaining vendor outreach.
No. True "Day-of Coordination" is actually Month-of Management. To run your day flawlessly, we step in 4 weeks prior to review your finalized contracts, build your master minute-by-minute timeline, run your ceremony rehearsal, and provide complete on-site management on the wedding day.
Yes. To maintain the intimate, intentional nature of these celebrations, our elopement tiers cap at 10 guests, and our microwedding packages accommodate a firm limit of 50 guests.
