Your questions answered with heart & clarity

because peace of mind should be part of every love story.

Planning a wedding comes with plenty of questions, emotions, and “where do I even start?” moments. This page is here to make things feel lighter, clearer, and grounded in what matters most: your story. If you have a question not listed here, I’m just an inquiry away.

The Essentials

Most couples inquire 8–14 months before their date. I take on a limited number of weddings per year to ensure intentional, story-centered support, so early inquiries are encouraged.

Yes. Meaningful weddings do not require extravagant budgets.

I help prioritize what matters most so you can design a celebration that feels personal, not pressured.

Yes! While most of my weddings take place in the Wheeling, WV, and St. Clairsville, OH area, I’m happy to travel within the Upper Ohio Valley area for celebrations that align with my story-driven approach.

Of course. Many couples come to me after booking their venue or a few vendors, and once they realize they want guidance with bringing everything together. Whether you need design support, timeline structure, or help managing logistics, I’ll meet you right where you are.

During your consultation, we’ll talk through your vision, guest count, and planning needs. Whether you’re dreaming of a DIY wedding or design-only services, I’ll guide you toward the experience that fits your story best. No pressure, just thoughtful guidance.

Yes! Every inquiry begins with a complimentary discovery call.
This gives us time to connect, talk through your story, and ensure that we’re the right fit.

You’ll receive a response within 2-3 business days (Monday through Friday).
I believe every story deserves attention, so each inquiry is read carefully and personally. No automated replies here.

I’ll reach out to schedule a discovery call so we can connect and discuss your vision, budget, and story.
If we both feel like it’s a good fit, I’ll send over a customized proposal outlining the next steps & service options.

Services Defined

Not at this time. My services are designed for couples who want guidance or design support throughout their engagement, not just logistical oversight at the end.

Design is about how your wedding feels & looks, including the colors, textures, and overall atmosphere that tell your story.
Coordination ensures that everything about your day flows— timelines, vendor communication, and logistics that allow you to be fully present.

Together, design and coordination create a seamless experience from vision to reality.

Story-driven design means that every design choice is rooted in you and your story. From your desired color palette to your favorite music to the way you welcome guests, everything connects back to your story, values, and relationship. When design is guided by meaning rather than trends, the result feels effortlessly personal.

Yes! These services can be added as “Extra Chapters.” Rehearsal coordination provides clarity and calm before the big day, while cleanup ensures you can end your celebration without stress. Both are designed to give you peace of mind and a seamless experience.

You’re welcome to choose your own vendors! I love collaborating with talented professionals throughout the Ohio Valley and beyond; therefore, I’ll provide curated recommendations based on your style and budget, and for full or partial planning packages.

However, the decision is ultimately yours to make.

Your Story & Vision

Not at all. Many brides come to me knowing only how they want their wedding to feel.
I help uncover the heart of your story and shape it into a cohesive aesthetic.

Absolutely. My role isn’t to change your vision, but to help you bring it to life with clarity and intention.
Together, we’ll refine the details, align your design with your venue, and ensure your story shines through in every moment.

Yes. As long as the celebration is rooted in meaning.
Whether your style is rustic, boho, romantic, classic, or something in between, we’ll create a wedding that feels authentic to you.

Absolutely. Story-first design is the heart of everything I do.
Your values, quirks, memories, and connections guide the creative process, not trends.

I often work with faith-based couples who value family, meaning, and intention, but every story is welcome here.
Whether your celebration is traditional, boho, rustic, or romantic, my goal is to design a day that reflects your love with beauty and authenticity.

Services & Process

The Story-Guided Bride Experience provides emotional + planning support while you remain hands-on.
The Storied Wedding Design Experience blends design direction with on-site styling for couples who want a curated, cohesive look.

Extra Chapter Add-Ons allow you to customize the support you receive, but the core experiences are intentionally structured to reflect my values and process.

Availability & Logistics

Yes, I primarily serve Wheeling, WV, and St. Clairsville, OH, but I’m open to nearby regions.
Travel fees may apply for extended distances.

Yes. I believe every story deserves to be told.

Each service outlines its communication boundaries.
Regular monthly meetings are included; additional calls can be scheduled as needed.

First, know that you’re not alone! This season is filled with many decisions.
Second, you’re exactly who I support best. My role is to bring clarity to the chaos, ground you in intention, and help you reconnect to what matters.
