Wedding Stage Management (Planning & Coordination for Weddings & Civil Unions)

First things first: why do we call ourselves "stage managers" instead of planners or coordinators? The answer is simple, and it's the reason (we think) we stand out from other event planners. Both of us work as theatre stage managers, and combined we have more than twenty years of experience managing live events.

As stage managers, it's our job to make sure everyone is doing what they are supposed to be doing, the way they are supposed to be doing it, at the designated time; and then to fix problems swiftly (and often, creatively) if they do arise. We are accustomed to exectuting the collaborative vision of designers and directors to their specifications. Having also worked as costume, lighting, and scenic designers, we possess aesthetic sensibilities as well as the technical knowledge to make them happen. We think this combination of skills sets us apart.

We've worked on all kinds of different shows, from one-man political pieces to full-scale musicals to puppet shows in miniature and everything in between. We have the flexibility to bring your unique vision to life, and we are not afraid to do something a little out of the ordinary - in fact, we love things that are a little bit off the beaten path. We are geeky about researching things we know little about. So - if you've got something quirky in mind, we say, bring it on!

We can help you as much or as little as you want with the design and planning parts of your wedding, and you can count on us to make it happen the way you envision it.

Handmade Help

In addition to traditional event planning, we are excited to offer our crafty skills for your DIY/DIT wedding projects. We love to make stuff, and we're pretty good at it. If you are getting overwhelmed by projects for your wedding or event, but you don't want to give up your carefully-designed handmade aesthetic, let us be your crafty best friend! From selecting projects and materials to cutting, pasting, and putting it all together, we can bring your unique vision to life.

Custom Clothing & Corsets

Real Clothes for Real People. That is our motto. We are as frustrated as (we're guessing) you are with the various issues of mass-produced clothing. You know, if it fits around your hips, it gaps around your waist, but if you grab the smaller size to fit your waist, there is zero chance it will ever go over your hips? Or maybe you've bought something only to have a seam or hem fall out after only a few wearings? You never know what size you really are because an 8, 10, and 12 all fit you, depending on the brand? Plus-size clothing is just... completely unstylish? Well, we are right there with you.

As costumers, we have made garments to fit all sizes of people in many different styles and periods from ancient Rome to modern times. And as a pair of two very different-sized and -shaped ladies, we have personally experienced the fit issues that abound at both ends of the spectrum.

We are committed to making quality garments that fit you perfectly, no matter your size or shape. We will work with you to get the style, color, and fit that you want. We will use quality materials while keeping your budget in mind. We will make your garment personally, with our own hands, so that every detail is done well. The bottom line is that we want you to love what we make for you as much as we love the clothes we make for ourselves!
