What’s your favorite comment/compliment that one of your clients has given you? “You are so calm”.. I don’t show stress, my head works 24/7 to stay on track, I multi-task… but to the bride and groom, I have all eyes on them at all times.

Do you have any hidden talents? I love the outdoors, camping, hiking, crossfit, enjoying company with a glass of champagne and strawberries.
If you weren’t in the business that you are in now, what other business/profession would you have liked to have done? I’m right where I’m supposed to be, but interior design is on the top of my list to do one day.
If you were to plan your own wedding, or re-do your wedding, what element(s) would be most important to you? I would love to invite all friends and family to a destination wedding and spend at least 3 days together, all expenses covered.
What advice would you can give to brides and grooms getting married today? Focus on what’s important to you and don’t forget to hire a wedding planner.
