About Us
Following Your Heart
Joy, excitement, concerns, and dreams. Ideas, traditions, emphatic yeses and absolute nos. Compromise, fear, certainty, doubt, tenderness, and strength.
Together you will encounter the many choices, limitations, and emotions that accompany planning your big day, and you’ll quickly learn what matters most.
Just like…
the couple who lost the groom’s father two weeks before the wedding who chose to honor him by continuing with their plans and celebrating with those who loved him most
the bride who wanted every guest to experience an enchanted feeling and created magical vignettes for guests to enjoy throughout the reception
the couple who brought thirty of their closest friends and family from out of town to a bed and breakfast for a week’s worth of activities before an emotion packed wedding day
the couple who had guests attach words of encouragement to miniature fir tree centerpieces to be delivered to a rehab center
the bride arriving on her Harley and her groom on horseback
a vow spoken to each of the seven children blending to create a new family
the groom’s ninety-year old grandfather standing as his best man
something old handed down for generations carried in the bride’s bouquet
the groom surprising his bride by quitting smoking so they will have a longer life together
the bride happily pushing her father’s wheelchair down the aisle while he clutched her bouquet
being escorted by both the moms who raised her
homemade peach chutney shipped from Georgia by their aunts for every guest
family style Romanian dinner
a special dance with his birth mother found days before the wedding
...where following their hearts mattered most.
“When the groom’s father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, a decision was made to move up the wedding date. We found ourselves planning a wedding in less than two months in another state. From day one we always felt that you were doing your best for us, that your loyalty was with us. You are calm, gracious under pressure, knowledgeable, and completely understanding…you were open to doing as much or as little as wanted. Simply said, you made my daughter’s beautiful wedding, under very difficult circumstances, a reality.”
