BRIDES Best Wedding Planners in America
Thank you to the BRIDES team for including me in the list of best wedding planners in America! It is such an honour to be part of this rockstar list. “Damn, this job is not easy” is spot on. It has been tough beyond words. This past year I had to deal with things that I would never have imagined in my wildest dreams. Yet as wedding planners we forge onward and figure out the best possible solutions when faced with the numerous setbacks of planning through a pandemic. Why? We really love what we do. We persevere so we can keep riding that high of producing these once in a lifetime events for our couples and their families.

Thank you to Anna Price Olson and the BRIDES team for including us. I loved the introduction they wrote for this piece. Planners have been working so hard this year to support their clients and vendors through the challenges of planning a celebration during COVID-19. I have been so lucky to find myself in an industry where we all worked hard to support each other through uncertain times. I am deeply grateful for the community and acknowledgement. Onwards and upwards!

Wave Hill Wedding
It is always extra special when I get to plan a Wave Hill wedding, as I was married there myself. Even more so when I get to plan it with such a sweet couple who really did things their own way. Sarah and Arjun walked down the aisle together to “The Way You Look Tonight” and they had Sarah’s sister and Arjun’s brother officiate the ceremony overlooking the Hudson River.
