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.

Wedding Coordinator
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.
