those who bring it all to life —
You know already that your wedding is all about the people who are there to celebrate — you’ve gathered your tribe and want to relax and let the energy just flow. But, there are other people there too — we, your vendors (friends? friend-ors?) also want to make this day the best version of your wildest dreams. Choosing the right people to work with on your wedding can end up being a whole ton of different decisions. You want everyone to vibe and do their thing and make the magic happen. Throughout my years in this industry, I’ve developed relationships with some other kick-ass wedding vendors — these folks (just like you, if you’re reading this super-secret-hidden page!!) are people that I am excited to spend time with. They are people who believe in what they do, and do a damn good job.
