Jenn and Tim were just the sweetest couple, and I have to say that I just loved their intimate micro wedding at The Estate at New Albany this past January! First of all, I love a winter wedding. But besides that, I truly enjoyed the intimacy of their small, wedding – the importance of their closest family and friends showed throughout the day. Jenn’s mom hired me after I had…
Remember in the winter when we all obsessed over Bridgerton and binged the first season? Well, we were so grateful to work with an incredible team on a styled shoot inspired by the show! Throughout the spring we saw some similar shoots, but this one has a unique perspective with an incredible gown designed by Delana Formals and beautiful garden florals by Fezz and Hazel. The Athletic Club was the…
A Baby Shower at Kelton House in Columbus, Ohio Emily’s sister was planning her baby shower from Texas and wanted some help from beginning to end, to make it the ultimate celebration for her (and the baby)! The only thing she knew she wanted was the theme (A Baby in Bloom) and a balloon arch! I quickly went to work to find the perfect venue. The Kelton House ended up…
Our Jerome Village styled shoot took place at their community center in Plain City, Ohio.

Maddie and Alex are my people. They were sent to us from one of our fellow planners who wasn’t able to help with their wedding, and I’m so glad they found me! Their wedding was held at Strongwater Events in the midst of COVID, in September, right as events began to occur again after the shutdowns in Ohio. Despite added restrictions, the day was perfect. They had the best time,…
Spring Creek Chapel is a located in Howard, Ohio on a client’s property. They invited us to see the most perfect little chapel they had built, surrounded by beautiful green forrest, rolling hills and a pond just out the chapel doors. The owners wanted to offer the chapel and the land to a few exclusive couples each year for their weddings, and asked that StR be the in-house coordinators and…
Becky & Jordan came to me with a full plan for their Strongwater wedding, and they wanted someone to execute their vision. She wasn’t sure that she needed or wanted some of the extra things that come with our standard coordination, but she also really wanted to have a professional on site to manage the day (not just a friend or inexperienced coordinator) and I really wanted to help them…

That means the couple has to hire or find someone to officiate their wedding, and it can be an overwhelming decision – should you hire a professional or personal officiant for your wedding?
