About Chrysalis Memories, LLC
Chrysalis Memories, LLC
Hi! I’m April, Founder & Lead Coordinator of Chrysalis Memories. 😊 I believe life’s biggest moments deserve to feel meaningful, personal, and beautifully celebrated. My journey in weddings and events began in 2010 as an intern with an established event-planning company. After a decade learning the craft and three years working professionally, I bring 15 years of industry experience to every celebration. I’m a hopeless romantic, creative at heart, and detail-loving planner who genuinely cares about people. My goal is to handle the details behind the scenes so you can relax, feel supported, and be fully present for the moments that matter most. My approach is warm, organized, personal, and flexible when plans change. 💕✨
💕 Why Weddings? Because every couple has a story. I love watching all of the little moments that happen throughout a wedding day—the happy tears, nervous smiles, laughter with family and friends, and the excitement of starting a new chapter together. Being trusted with such an important day is something I’ll never take for granted. For me, it’s about more than timelines and logistics. It’s about helping create memories that will last a lifetime. 🦋✨
In three words: Organized, Reassuring, Resourceful

Highly Recommend April!
I got married 8/22/26 and April was absolutely amazing! I booked her about 1.5-2 months before the wedding and she went above and beyond every step of the way. She came to our final venue walkthrough, communicated final timelines and expectations with our vendors, picked up the decor and cake the day before the wedding and dropped it back off at our house the day after, and set up and coordinated the day of the wedding. She made the day stress free and allowed us to enjoy ourselves instead of worrying about getting everything ready. We highly recommend April and her team!
April Jackson•Sep 28, 2026Jessica, thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It was truly such a joy getting to work with you and Matt and be a part of your wedding day. I’m so happy that you were able to relax, enjoy yourselves, and truly be present for such a special day—that is always one of my biggest goals for my couples. Thank you again for trusting me and the Chrysalis Memories team with such an important moment in your lives. Wishing you both so much love and happiness in this next chapter! 💕🥂

She truly helped create memories that I will cherish forever!

Thank you for trusting me to be part of such a special memory—I’ll always be grateful that I got to celebrate this moment with you! 🦋❤️

Wonderful Service!
Working with Chrysalis Memories, LLC was such a smooth experience from start to finish. April walked us through every step of the planning process and was always there when we had questions or needed guidance. She brought real dedication and kindness to our event, and it was clear she genuinely cares about making each couple's event special. Her attention to detail and professional approach gave us confidence that everything would come together perfectly. April's bubbily and kind energy kept us excited throughout the planning journey, and on our big day, it all paid off. We'd absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a planner who truly invests in their vision.

When my daughter and son-in-law gave me a birthday party for a milestone birthday April was a huge help. She organized, bought favors, help design the layout of the table decorations. Also, April was responsible for setting up the event (between snows) and helped with the cleanup. During the party she was there to make sure the food hadn't run out and everything stayed organized. There were many great memories from this party and April was responsible for most of them. I was very pleased with the result and I will have April Johnson organize the next big party we have.
April Jackson•Sep 28, 2026Ms. Ruthie, thank you so much for your sweet review! 💕 It was truly such a joy helping celebrate your milestone birthday and being part of such a special day with you and your family. I loved helping bring all of the details together and making sure you could simply enjoy your celebration and all of the wonderful memories being made around you. You were an absolute joy to celebrate, and it means so much to me that you would trust me with another special occasion. I would happily celebrate with you all again anytime! 🦋🎉🎂

April Jackson•Sep 28, 2026Laura, thank you so much for this! 💕 It meant so much to me that you trusted me and my team to help bring such an important celebration for your mom to life. I had so much fun helping with the planning, coming up with ideas, and putting all of those little details together to make the day feel special and memorable for your family.
