About The Twilight Garden

The Twilight Garden

Founder and Lead Planner

The Twilight Garden was created from a deep love of storytelling, beauty, and the quiet magic found in meaningful moments. As a planner, I’m passionate about designing weddings that feel personal, intentional, and welcoming. Every couple deserves a celebration that reflects who they are, and I love guiding them with empathy, creativity, and calm organization from the very first conversation to the final send-off.

I bring a blend of creative design, calm organization, and heartfelt support to every wedding. I focus on accommodations, guest experience, and emotional ease, helping couples feel cared for through the entire process. My approach is collaborative and inclusive, ensuring that every detail reflects the couple’s personality and that their wedding day feels seamless, meaningful, and beautifully curated.

In three words: Empathetic, Organized, Thoughtful
