About Forever Awaits by Valerie LLC

Forever Awaits by Valerie LLC

Wedding Planner, Designer, & Coordinator

Hi, I’m Valerie — planner and designer behind Forever Awaits. I create weddings that feel effortless, elegant, and completely you. From lakeside celebrations in New Hampshire to Icelandic elopements, my style blends romantic, natural, and luxe design with seamless coordination. When I’m not crafting wedding magic, I’m exploring the outdoors with my husband Justin and our Swiss Mountain Dog, Minnow. I’m passionate about transforming your vision into an unforgettable experience that feels genuine, beautiful, and stress-free.

What sets me apart is how I blend artful design with genuine connection. I take time to understand your story and style, then craft a celebration that feels effortless, elevated, and completely you. From cozy New England estates to Icelandic adventures, my approach combines creativity, organization, and heart. You’ll get stunning design, stress-free planning, and a planner who truly cares about making your day unforgettable.

In three words: Calm, Creative, Organized

    We worked alongside Valerie on a two-day styled wedding photo shoot, and she truly blew us away. She planned the event from top to bottom, and it was absolutely incredible. Valerie’s organization, attention to detail, and creative vision made the entire process seamless, fun, and exciting. The final product was beyond dreamy and completely Pinterest-worthy. Both styled weddings were personal, tasteful, and beautifully executed. As a vendor, we wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to all of our couples looking to make their wedding day an absolute dream come true. She is fun, energetic, and organized! An absolute pleasure to work with!

  • Valerie is a GEM!!!

    Valerie planned the most incredible elopement for us in Iceland. And she did it all in under a month! This woman is fabulous and kind and an all around amazing human. She was organized and had back up plans to back up plans. Seriously, if we had any questions, she found time to listen and talk through everything with us. She was even able to procure an entire picnic for us, that was vegan friendly too! She made all of our florals, and got them to the location we were at. I think she's a magician. She certainly made our elopement magical! I highly recommend Valerie for the elopement of your dreams!

    Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! Planning your Iceland elopement in such a short time was so much fun, and I loved every minute of bringing your vision to life. From the picnic to the florals (and all the backup plans in between 😉), it was such an honor to make your day feel magical. Being called a “magician” is the sweetest compliment—I’m so grateful I got to be part of such a special adventure. Wishing you both endless love and beautiful memories ahead! 💖 Warmly, Valerie
  • THE best!

    Upon meeting Valerie, I immediately knew I wanted to work with her. Her hustle, drive, organization, communication, creativity, and attention to detail make her one of the best planners I have worked with to date. I have had the pleasure of working with Valerie as the owner of a venue where she hosted an incredible styled shoot, and alongside her, coordinating on the day of a wedding. I can assure you, you are in great hands with her. Photos by Renee Griffith Photos, Shoot styled/planned and executed by Forever Awaits by Valerie

    Thank you so much for this generous review! It’s always such a joy working with a venue that values collaboration and attention to detail as much as I do. Hosting the styled shoot and coordinating together on a wedding day were both incredible experiences, and I’m so grateful for the partnership. It’s truly an honor to partner with such amazing people who care so deeply about every couple that celebrates at your venue—hardworking, genuine humans through and through. I can’t wait for all the beautiful celebrations we’ll create together in the future! Valerie 😃

    We had the pleasure of working with Valerie this spring and summer planning our wedding, which turned out to be a beautiful event. We have received only positive compliments. During the planning itself, Valerie showed us a can do attitude and was always available for questions, guidance and no matter what always had a smile. There are those inevitable moments where difficulties arise and she was instrumental in keeping us sane and calm. Between her inventory of wedding necessities and suggestions for people to call, I don’t know what we would have done without her. Thank you Valerie!
