The one to make your wedding dreams come true....

Michele made our destination wedding in San Diego one of the most memorable events in our lives. She was friendly, professional and made us feel taken care of from the first video call through the entire process. She brought the highest level of skill from her many years of experience in the wedding and events industry. She listened carefully to our ideas and thoughts and filled the gaps to make everything perfect. She joined us for all of our meetings and tastings with the vendors and made sure that all of the details were planned without us having to think about it. She made the day of so special and ensured that all of the planning stress and operations of the day stayed with her and the vendors. She did an amazing job and we highly recommend her to make your day a dream come true.
