Testimonials

  • Faith is AMAZING! I didn’t have a traditional wedding and we had so many little games and extra things and Faith DELIVERED. The flow of the night was perfect and I didn’t worry about a single thing on the wedding day- which I wasn’t expecting. She made our dream day PERFECTION.

    JULIA- Bride

  • If you're looking for a wedding planner who is truly the BEST, look no further than Faith! From day one, Faith was a dream to work with. She’s incredibly sweet, calm, and so detail-oriented which is an absolute must when planning a wedding. As a teacher, I was working with a strict budget, and Faith completely respected that. She helped me find the best deals without sacrificing the vision I had (even when that vision included a bit of luxury). There were definitely moments I felt like a bridezilla (lol), but Faith never made me feel that way. She listened with so much care, calmed every last nerve, and truly made me feel seen, heard, and supported through the entire process. My wedding was not only beautiful, but also stress-free. I can’t recommend her enough, she’s a true gem!

    ANNA- Bride

  • Faith is helping me plan my wedding and her creative problem solving skills have been a life saver! She is super organized and stays calm under pressure, which alleviates my stress and allows me to just focus on my big day instead of worrying over all the little details. Her attention to detail is unmatched, after working with her for my wedding I would recommend her to any bride looking for a talented planner who knows how to elevate your special day.
