Resources

Are you excited to get married, but feeling a bit overwhelmed with the planning process?
You are NOT alone!

What the internet is feeding you:

Planning Checklists
Design inspiration (Yes, of course a $12,000 table design is pretty. It is also unrealistic.)
Articles telling you what you might regret, forget, or do wrong

What is NOT being fed to you:

Help with the very real topic of financial stress
Help with the stressful family dynamics of planning a wedding
Validation that everything you are feeling is normal

I can help.

As a wedding venue owner, I have met with countless couples who are feeling the exact same way.

They cannot wait to marry one another, and they cannot wait to celebrate with their loved ones.

But, they are feeling overwhelmed by the financial pressure and never-ending sticker shock of their wedding.

And they are feeling frustrated, resentful, or guilty about the ways their families are helping, are not helping, or are attaching strings to their help.

Let's start small

I have created a very short, and inexpensive mini-course to help you catch your breath a bit, prevent family conflict or stress before it crops up, and kick off wedding planning with a plan to enjoy the process and keep your sanity!

Dear Friend,

It is extremely normal to feel overwhelmed during the wedding planning process. But the wedding industry is only comfortable labeling it as “overwhelm” because that’s as deep as the resources that currently exist go.

But no spreadsheet or checklist can make your budget bigger or your future mother in law less overbearing!

The truth is that “overwhelm” often develops into significant stress during wedding planning, and the last thing you want is for your wedding to LOOK like your dream, but FEEL overrun with financial stress, or frustration with your loved ones.

It is my hope that this course helps you intentionally craft your dream wedding, and guides you through important conversations to prevent conflict with your loved ones, and most importantly, with one another.

You can have the intentional wedding that looks AND feels like your dream.

Happy Planning!
