I help clients plan unique and unforgettable events through intentional and purposeful planning.

This circular ceremony might be one of my favorite designs I have done.
The groom wanted the arborvitaes as the backdrop, the bride wanted the house, and they were both adamant that no guest would have an obstructed view. So we built a ceremony layout that gave them all of it—every aisle, every sightline, every angle until it was exactly right.
This is what you get when you hire a planner who isn’t just there to build a timeline. You get someone who listens, thinks through every detail, and finds a way to bring the full vision to life even when that means measuring every single chair.

PORTLAND WEDDING COMMUNITY — I NEED YOU.
I have officially been selected to serve as the planner for a Wish Upon a Wedding Wish Wedding, and we have a wedding to make happen before the end of this year.
Wish Upon a Wedding is a national nonprofit that grants weddings and vow renewals for couples facing terminal illness or life-altering health circumstances—giving couples an opportunity to step away from appointments, treatments and uncertainty and simply celebrate their love with the people who matter most.
And now, we get to help make that happen here in Oregon.
FIRST UP: WE NEED A VENUE.
We are looking for a venue willing to donate their space for this incredibly deserving couple:
• Within approximately 1 hour of Portland, Oregon
• 50 guests or fewer
• Sunday–Thursday availability
• Wedding must take place before the end of 2026
• Alcohol-free celebration
• Date is flexible and will be determined once we secure our venue
Once we have a home and a date for this wedding, I’ll begin assembling the rest of our incredible Wish Granter team.
If you own or represent a venue that would like to be considered, please DM me or tag them below.
And Portland wedding vendors—stay close. I’m going to need you next.
We have a wedding to make happen.
Let’s grant a Wish.
