Being a local never gets old when you live in Southwest Michigan – being near so many things my husband and I love: kayaking, hunting for beach glass and craft brews. We are cuddling our little toddler son, and enjoying being a family of three!
After receiving a bachelor’s in Event Management from Grand Valley State University and being certified in wedding planning, I founded 1928 in 2013, and since have planned over 500 beautiful weddings as the company.
I’m blessed to have a career where I love what I do – and know that I can offer couples a great deal of guidance and knowledge. I thrive on order and organization, all while giving me a creative outlet to execute a vision and flow for the day we’ve spent so much time creating together!
I am no stranger to the wedding scene in Southwest Michigan! As the owner of Schades of Light, producing lighting design for local weddings since 2009, and prior experience as a four-year event captain for one of the leading catering companies in Southwest Michigan, CK Catering, I am proud and honored to have assisted in making more than 300 wedding day dreams come true!
My husband and I have two sons, a daughter, and a very spoiled silver lab, Georgia. In my spare time, my family and I enjoy days on the water and the beach, or spending time at our cabin in Northern Michigan.
I am so grateful to live in beautiful St. Joseph, Michigan, and have a career doing what I love! I look forward to building relationships with couple’s I work with, and being a team in developing a plan and vision for such an important part of their love story!
