About Sage & Ceremony

Sage & Ceremony

Planning & Design Lead

Sage & Ceremony is a queer-owned wedding planning studio rooted in Richmond, VA and serving couples across Virginia and beyond. We specialize in intimate weddings, elopements, and sacred gatherings that feel deeply personal, beautifully intentional, and true to you. Whether you're planning something simple or wildly magical, we bring calm, creativity, and care to every step of the journey.

We don't believe in cookie-cutter weddings. Every celebration we design is shaped around your values, your rhythm, and your story—not just tradition or trends. We work with couples who want meaning over performance, intimacy over spectacle, and connection over perfection. As a queer-owned, heart-led studio, we hold space for you to show up fully and be seen—exactly as you are.

In three words: Empathetic, Organized, Thoughtful

  • Stress-free day

    We didn’t want a big production - just a quiet ceremony in the mountains with a small group of friends and family. Frannie helped us design a day that felt like us, without spending a fortune. She supported us with so much gentleness and intention, we'll definitely be reaching out to her for all of our future events. From finding vendors that worked with our needs (even a gluten-free vegan baker!) to helping me create my bouquet from grocery store flowers when we just didn't have the budget for a florist. She helped make our day absolutely perfect, and stress-free, you can't go wrong with her as your planner!

  • Adaptability is key!

    I've worked with Frannie for a few different events now, a couple elopements, as well as a micro-wedding and a bridal shower. She brings such a grounded presence to every event. She’s impeccably organized but never rigid—always ready to adapt with grace. The events she plans feel soulful and well-paced, which makes my job as a venue director easier and keeps guests relaxed and happy. It’s rare to see this level of intention and warmth in a planner. I highly recommend working with her!
