    Amazing!

    Landry with Next Chapter Weddings was amazing to work with. She was organized, attentive, and truly cared about making everything perfect. Having her on my side during wedding day was a huge weight lifted and made the day so much less stressful. On the wedding day, she kept everything running smoothly and handled all the details so we could actually enjoy the moment. I would highly recommend Next Chapter Weddings to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator.

    A million thanks to Sierra!!

    From the first meeting I had with Brandi I felt confident choosing Next Chapter Weddings for our day-of coordination. We ended up with Sierra as our coordinator and we truly feel like we could not have done it without her. During the 45 days beforehand she took control of contacting vendors and keeping them up-to date which took so much off my plate. On the wedding day, she executed our vision and made it even more amazing than I imagined. We had a very short time frame to prepare at the venue before go-time and many disparate DIY bits and pieces that Sierra took and ran with. As the bride I had an idea for how it all went together but couldn't be the one physically putting it together before the ceremony, but Sierra did it for me and knocked it out of the park. As the wedding continued she made sure me and my husband had all our special moments, photos, stayed on time, and ate and drank water. We were truly able to enjoy the day without worry. We had sooooo much fun at our wedding. A million thanks to Sierra!!

    This is so great to hear, Alyssa!! Thank you for choosing us! We are so honored! Sierra loved being your coordinator!

    Can't Recommend Brandi Enough!

    I'm so glad I had Brandi at Next Chapter Weddings during my planning process! We did a raw space wedding at a family home in the country which required 1,000 different steps, vendors, and logistics we would have never thought of if it weren't for Brandi. She was a massive help and we got off every call talking about how glad we were to have her in our corner to handle so much of the planning and to keep us on track with what needed to be done. The day of, we had a couple unexpected challenges we couldn't have prepared for and Brandi handled them all before the guests or I even noticed. I knew working with a planner would be very helpful but looking back having her was completely essential to the success of the event as a whole and our ability to actually enjoy all our hard work on the day of.

    Oh my goodness, Tarah! This is the sweetest review. I am so honored that you chose my team and I for your wedding day. It was incredibly special to hear about some of your families history and legacy. Everything about your wedding day was so thoughtful and authentic. I will always remember it.

    Detailed-Oriented & Diligent!

    From the moment we booked Next Chapter Weddings, we knew we were in good hands. The team was incredibly detail-oriented and diligent, making sure every aspect of our wedding day was perfectly executed. Their kind and personable communication style put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, the Next Chapter team ensured my husband and I were well-fed and kept us in the loop on everything that was happening, so we could fully enjoy the moment. The end result was a gorgeous, high-value wedding that exceeded our wildest expectations. We are forever grateful for the Next Chapter team's exceptional service and support in making our special day truly perfect.

    Nothing short of exceptional

    Landry was nothing short of amazing. Kept in contact with us every step of the way. Made everything stress free. The day of the wedding, even with weather issues, was calm and made us feel relaxed. Landry over delivered big time.

    Landry had amazing things to say after your wedding! We are so glad she helped provide a space for you to be fully present! :)


We offer packages from Coordination to Full Service Wedding Planning, although our Partial Planning Package + Design is our most popular package. We also offer an amazing Décor Service Package and Faux Floral Collection to any of our Coordination and Planning Clients.
When you hire our team for any of our Wedding Planning Packages, we are hands on throughout the process of planning your event. That means that we help you find your vendors, design the over all aesthetic of your event, manage your budget, etc. If you book us for Coordination, you do all the planning. We step in after you have secured your Vendors and execute what you have planned on your own. (All Planning Packages also include Coordination.)
Yesssss!!! Whether it is us or another company, you absolutely should have a Wedding Planner (or at least a Wedding Coordinator). Before launching my company, I dipped my toes into the industry by working for a Wedding Venue where I observed MANY weddings. Many had Planners/Coordinators and many did not, but I am telling you it was like night and day when you compared the weddings that hired Planners/Coordinators from the ones that did not. The amount of things that went wrong and stress levels were massly different. It's an investment that you will not regret. Enjoy the day know you have Professionals on your side!
We love what we do and we are 100% your advocate. We genuinely care about your Wedding Day as much as you do. Plus, we are Certified and Insured with ample experience in the Industry!
