I’ve been a wedding planner my whole life—it just took me a little while to realize it.

As a young girl, I was either planning my own birthday parties or recruiting the neighborhood kids into some sort of wacky project: a summer cherry slushie stand in the park across the street (franchise opportunities available), the three block long scavenger hunt, or the float in the neighborhood Fourth of July parade that always won first place. After conceiving and planning the first ever "Random Acts of Kindness Week" in high school, I knew I had discovered something special: a knack for bringing it all together; the idea, the organization, the anticipation, the people and yes, the fun of it all!

A one year worldwide Up with People tour, a BA in Communications, five years producing events for major Bay Area hotels (including The Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay) and over 250 weddings later, A Bride’s Best Friend was born.

And that's where my story begins. What about yours?
