Description

I admire the DIY bride because I was one. But I was stressed beyond belief and the ones who had to help me execute my plans on the day of the wedding were my family and friends, when they should have been celebrating with me. My price is inclusive of about 35 hours of dedicated planning to ensure you and your guests can simply enjoy your big day. I'll be the first one there and the last to leave. Crisis? You'll never know because it's handled.

    Customized Coordination

    Liz was a crucial piece to our wedding day! She created a unique and custom seating chart that we still use as a beautiful piece in our home today. Liz was able to assist and coordinate with our florist to cultivate beautiful pieces throughout our venue. Her final touches on the little details throughout the venue, tied everything together to make the wedding we always pictured. Liz is the ultimate choice when searching for your next event. She really, REALLY can do it all!

Absolutely! Bridesmaid & Groomsmen proposals, Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties, Bridal Showers, Rehearsal Dinners, you name it... I'm here for it.
I book one wedding per MONTH. That allows me to give you the time and dedication that you deserve!
My standard wedding planning timeline looks a bit like this. 1. Initial consultation with you, your better half and one other guest to discuss your vision. 2. Design board presentation so you can see just how we're going to create the wedding of your dreams. 3. Mock-up of your rentals. This will be a table setup with your options of chair, napkin, plate, charger, etc. Seeing it in person makes all the difference. 4. 6 Weeks to the big day we'll tie up any loose ends together. 5. 2 Weeks to the big day we'll go through your timeline together.
I'm all you need! If there are additional setup/breakdown requirements, I will bring along some more muscle.
I've coordinated over a dozen weddings, ranging from 14 guests to 200 guests. The challenge of the venue where I was employed was that we were large enough to accommodate up to 3 weddings at once. I am comfortable juggling any needs and issues as they arise. Things will go wrong at any event, but my job is to make sure you never know!
