Founder and Planner

Creating and running this company is less of a job and more of a love interest for me.  Weddings are my favorite.  Period.  Planning, organizing, and taking care of business is just simply the way I function.  The marriage (excuse the pun) of these two loves is how Details Wedding Planning came to be.  I hear people say often that planning their wedding was "stressful," "overwhelming," and "time-consuming."  While I agree that planning can be time consuming, planning your wedding shouldn't be stressful or overwhelming.  It should be fun, enjoyable, and EXCITING!  That's where I can help.  I'm a certified wedding planner and have experience planning a plethora of weddings, events, and fundraisers.  The things that some find intolerable about weddings, I enjoy.  Hate making phone calls to vendors and negotiating prices?  I don't mind a bit.  The thought of going through and scheduling your big day down to 15 minute increments sound tedious?  It's what makes things flow, and what I call detail oriented.  Ready to get started?  I am.   

A few fun facts:

  • I am the oldest of three girls and grew up in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley in Virginia

  • I graduated from Clemson University (go Tigers!) with a BA in Communication Studies and from the University of Hawaii at Hilo with a MA in Counseling Psychology 

  • My husband and I chose to make Charlotte our home the summer of 2014 after always loving the city as we traveled through between Davidson and Clemson during our undergraduate years

  • I dated my husband for over 9 years before we finally tied the knot at a Bed and Breakfast venue near our childhood homes

  • I am a dog lover with one CRAZY pup named Tonks... if you have a dog, I'm going to want to see pictures

  • I have to "plan" to be spontaneous 

  • I'm big on making lists

  • I love to travel and have been to 22 countries and 26 US states

  • I have two kiddos:  a spunky and smart seven year old, Josie, and an sweet as pie little man who's six, Lincoln

Wedding Planner

I started working in events at 16 as a party motivator for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, but have always been especially interested in weddings/engagements.  A lifelong mission of celebrating others and making people feel special is what led me to the wedding industry. I am so thankful to have found my place at Details Wedding Planning! I enjoy the constant hustle & bustle of a wedding day. Making sure that the day runs smoothly for the bride/groom/family/guests/vendors is my main priority. I absolutely love the excitement in the final moments before the wedding party begins walking down the aisle and then seeing the couple meet at the end of the aisle. I believe that the smaller, more individual pieces of wedding days are what brings them to life. I love to see how each couple puts their personal touches and personality into their day and prioritize helping each couple make their wedding day feel like their own.

A few fun facts:

  • I was born and raised in the Sunshine State! 

  • I attended Florida State University where I majored in Family and Child Sciences and Leadership Studies

  • Before wedding planning, I was an elementary school teacher for seven years

  • I am an instructor at Pure Barre in Myers Park

  • I love to spend time cozy on my couch watching Friends or pretty much anything that plays on Bravo! 

  • I love all things dessert and simply cannot end my night without a sweet treat

  • In my spare time, you can find me around Charlotte scoping out a new restaurant or brewery with my husband, Charlie

With over 18 years in the hospitality industry, I’ve dedicated my career to creating seamless and unforgettable events. From corporate gatherings to country club celebrations, I love bringing visions to life—but my true passion lies in weddings. There’s something magical about seeing a couple surrounded by their loved ones, celebrating one of the most important days of their lives. My favorite moment? Watching them share their first dance, knowing that every detail we helped coordinate contributed to a memory they’ll cherish forever. I’m thrilled to bring my passion and experience to Details Wedding Planning and can’t wait to help coordinate unforgettable celebrations for our couples!

A few fun facts:

  • Originally from Kings Mountain, NC, but now call Fort Mill, SC, home.

  • I earned a BA in Communications and Hospitality & Tourism Management from Western Carolina University.

  • My passion for weddings began as an Intern at the Biltmore Estate and has only grown since.

  • I met my husband at a Where’s Waldo party and 12 years later, we have two amazing kids, Lillian (5) and Bennett (3)

  • Our first “child” is our Goldendoodle, Penny.

  • I’m a big fan of making lists—because every great event starts with a well-organized plan!

  • In my spare time, I love cooking (as long as I have a recipe!), volunteering for local non-profits, and helping out at my kids' school.
