My favorite part of planning is the actual day! I love seeing the vision come together and the whole planning process come to life. I truly have a passion for designing and creating unforgettable experiences for my clients from the beginning to the end!
I have been in the wedding and event space for over 15 years and have owned LDE for 7 and a half years. My husband and I moved to sunny Florida from Columbus, Ohio after living in Chicago before that, and now have two little girls.
My team and I have been fortunate to be able to coordinate weddings and events at beautiful venues and now on preferred vendors lists at The Ringling Museum of Art, Ritz Carlton Sarasota, Selby Gardens, Powel Crosley Estate, as well as many other hotels and venues in the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area.
I take pride in being creative, detailed, and organized and will make sure every last detail is taken care of, so the only thing you have to think about is enjoying yourself and making memories!
Nothing is more important to me than making your day exactly what you want it to be. My team and I would love to work with you to make your wedding or event the perfect memory!
Fun Fact: I am obsessed with penguins.
