Did you know May 25th is National Wine Day? Neither did we, but that didn't stop Rebecca and Chris from throwing a wine-themed wedding on that day this year! (Side note - don't you think the purple lanterns look like big, billowing clusters of grapes? That was totally on purpose.) I had a blast getting to know this couple (they are hysterical and I'm hoping I can get Rebecca to teach me how to scuba dive!) and am so honored that they included me in their big day. As usual, the...

[caption id="attachment_772" align="alignright" width="300"] A still photo of our first dance to "Happy Together" - we killed it. (Photo by the wonderful Matthew Tennison)[/caption] Real talk from a married wedding planner. I am rapidly approaching my two-year anniversary (what?!) and it's made me more introspective than usual. Planning a wedding is like cutting an onion - layers or something. It's a difficult simile because it's a complex experience - you deal with all the emotions coming at you from all angles. Even as you make every effort to keep your wedding "drama...

Sean and Joe called me just 3 weeks before their reception; they needed a pinch hitter to come in and take over so they could just relax and enjoy themselves. The gentlemen had actually already tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on Cape Cod earlier, so they just wanted to throw a big party for their friends back home (mission accomplished, I'd say!). With catering from one of my favorite brunch joints (Honey's Sit and Eat) and Josh from No Macarena keeping the tunes rolling all night, Sean and Joe's...

Carolyn was especially kind in her recent review (and take a peek at yesterday's blog post for their wedding photos and details!) My Right Arm posted 6/8/2013 My newly minted husband and I have nothing but warm, fuzzy feelings toward our appointed Wedding Coordinator/Lifesaver/Right Arm, Natalie...
I am always bragging about how I have the coolest clients (is it bragging if it’s true?), but Carolyn and Brian really take the (wedding) cake. I met this lovely couple before they even started dating – way back in my days in the newspaper biz. I was the Events Manager (natch), Carolyn was the Arts and Copy Editor, and Brian was a Senior Editor (he later become Editor in Chief – fancy!). Their mutual love of Philadelphia, homebrew, and being awesome brought them together, until one day they found...
