About Sarah 

Part Southern + Part Californian 
Gin and Tonic Lover 
Lilly Pulitzer Obsessed
Passionate about Love 


My passion for weddings started at 15. 

I have always had a passion for planning weddings but now I want to help everyone plan fun weddings. 

I fell in love with weddings at a young age. There is just something about being apart of a couples journey as they say "I Do" that I can't get enough of. Or maybe it's the drama, or maybe it's just simply coaching couples how to plan a wedding easily. It's one of those three I am sure, but I wanted to take my professional abilities farther and reach more couples and help them. 

Just over here being a perfectionist.

Then I finally found my purpose, helping  couples design and plan beautiful weddings!

I have been around weddings since I can remember, it it's given me so much joy. I started in the hospitality buisness when I was 15, my aunt invited me to help with a dinner party at her home and taught me so much in just one night. That day alone, we made hor dourves, mixed cocktails, and created beautiful table settings for her guests. I was in awe of how much fun we had and from there, I knew my life in hospitality was a must. 

in 2011 I made the move 5,000 miles away to California where I would work for Disney as an intern and be invited on the weekends to help with weddings.  I graduated from University of Kentucky in 2012 and made my way back to California. 12 years later, I have found my home in San Diego with my husband and three children. My Passion for weddings deepened and I started this beautiful company 7 years ago and 250 weddings later, my heart is still whole and passionate for planning.
