I was so happy to receive the MoonLit Wedding’s video from Ashley and Jordan’s wedding. Such a fun couple and their wedding definitely reflected not only how much they love each other, but also how much fun they have together.

Thank you so much, Jake for sharing this.

Planning All In The Family

October 16, 2017

When I received the call from Sara Blanco and she asked if I remembered her sister Anna’s lovely wedding, I was taken back immediately to 10 years ago on the Four Seasons lawn. I also assisted Sara’s sister-in-law and brother Jerry on their beautiful Driskill wedding. I was thrilled to work with the Blanco family again for Sara’s wedding at Barr Mansion. Being a long time Austin wedding planner definitely worked in my favor with this wonderful family.

Professional details are coming, but here are a few from my past Blanco weddings.

I can’t wait to see more photos from Sara and Marshall’s wedding with all the family celebrating.

It is such a blessing to work with family and friends of past couples.

Springtime Wedding at Omni Barton Creek

July 8, 2017

Wanting to get married in Austin during our peak spring or fall wedding seasons requires advance planning, which usually means planning more than a year before your preferred wedding date. My favorite weather in Austin is in April and November. The temperatures are perfect, not too hot and not too cold. So planning with Erin and Graham began 14 months before their wedding. We toured many of Austin’s indoor and outdoor options, but the only perfect fit was the pavilion at Barton Creek. They wanted a fun dance party and for their guests to enjoy great food and drinks. Thank you so much to Henry Uribe for all his help on the wedding day and Diana M. Lott for capturing all the wedding fun.

Having amazing vendors makes a huge difference, so thank you everyone for creating a wonderful evening for Erin and Graham.

Celebrating Love at Hummingbird House

June 14, 2017

Being an Austin wedding planner has been such a perfect fit for me over the past 20 years. I love the happiness I am able to witness first-hand. I was so happy that Diana and Ashlynn wanted me to be their planner. I love taking special care of my couples. Both of them had lost their moms and since I am very maternal, I was able shower them with extra love. Having a beautiful vintage garden wedding was their vision, so it was very important to find a venue with a good rain plan option. As much as couples do not want rain on their wedding day, you still must plan for it. We had all the perfect vintage touches, a perfect ceremony inside Hummingbird House’s enclosed building, a butterfly release and a surprise performance by Jimmy LaFave performing the couple’s song “Only One Angel” for their first dance. With Jimmy’s recent passing, that memory is even more special. Thank you to Melissa Glynn photography for capturing their wedding day details.
