The Wedding Planning Workshop

Hi! I am so happy you're here and even more happy to share our first wedding planning workshop with you!
ENGAGED: The Wedding Planning Workshop is designed around what I like to call planning from the heart. It is a high-value workshop that will teach you to think like a wedding planner, so that you're confident in planning your special day without the expertise of a planner guiding you through the 250 decisions that you'll have to make.
I've chosen 18 topics of focus that I think are crucial to planning a personalized and enjoyable event for everyone, and organized them into 3 categories: Planning from the Heart, Wedding Design and Decor, and COVID-19 Lessons Learned. Not only will you spend a full afternoon with me, but you'll also receive planning resources for you to keep that will help you to check those wedding planning tasks off your list with ease.

Words of Thanks
Looking back at our wedding day this past Summer, there's one thing I know for sure that I wouldn't change, and that was having Jenna and her team. When we started to plan there were only a few things that I knew I 100% needed, and Jenna was one of them. As soon as she was booked, a weight lifted off my shoulders. There was so much I didn't know about throwing a wedding, especially one that was mainly DIY, but I knew that anything I didn't think of, she would. She literally does think of everything! And she did that and more. If you're not really sure what Jenna and her team do on your big day, the answer is they take care of everything. She approaches every situation with so much confidence and professionalism. From detailed lists, right down to moral support, not just for us, but for our families as well. Just like the Wizard of Oz, Jenna and her team are the magic behind the curtain. They are what kept the day worry free, and running smoothly.
