I believe the most memorable weddings happen when beautiful design and genuine care come together.
As a design-led wedding planner, I'm passionate about creating celebrations that feel elevated, intentional, and deeply personal. But beyond the beautiful details, my greatest priority is making sure you feel supported every step of the way. From our first conversation to your last dance, I'm here to be your advocate, guide, and calm presence so you can enjoy the planning journey just as much as the day itself.
Beyond the weddings
The things that inspire me outside of wedding days are often the same things that inspire my work within them.
Equal parts organized planner and creative thinker.
Always happiest bringing people together.
Forever inspired by beautiful interiors and thoughtful design.
Fluent in both English and French.
Spending time with my husband, two daughters, and our fur baby.
How I Got Here
My journey into weddings started over a decade ago when close friends launched a wedding planning company and invited me to join them as an assistant. After my very first wedding, I was completely hooked.
Before weddings, my career was spent in corporate offices and behind a desk. While I enjoyed the work, it wasn't until I stepped into this industry that I realized I'd found what I was meant to do. The fast pace, the creativity, the relationships, and the privilege of being trusted with one of life's biggest milestones instantly felt like home.
Over the years, I balanced wedding planning alongside careers in floristry, interior design, and the corporate world before taking the leap into full-time planning in 2019. Each chapter shaped the planner I am today, strengthening my eye for design while teaching me that the best celebrations are built on trust, thoughtful preparation, and genuine connection.
Today, more than 13 years later, I still feel just as grateful to do this work as I did after that very first wedding.
My Approach
Every decision is made with intention. Rather than chasing trends, I focus on creating a celebration that reflects your story, your priorities, and the experience you want your guests to remember.
Wedding planning shouldn't feel overwhelming. I'll guide you through every decision, keep everything organized behind the scenes, and be the steady presence you can rely on from beginning to end.
To me, this is so much more than timelines and logistics. It's about building trust, anticipating needs before they arise, and making sure you feel completely supported so you can be fully present on your wedding day.
