Hello

How does someone even become a wedding planner anyways? I've always been a nerd and so when I saw "Event Management" as an option in the brochure for college majors, of course I was hooked. I'm that type-A, everything-has-to-be-perfect-and-in-order kind of person, and I'm a sucker for romance, and so my fate was sealed.

From there, I learned about the Association Of Bridal Consultants and got involved with the state and local chapter, and helped bring the student chapter at UCF back to life. Well then, I went off and got married and then whoops, 3 months pregnant and graduating! When I was planning my own wedding, I lived in Florida but the wedding was in Indiana. Being that I had an Event Management Major, I wasn't too worried about the planning process but of course I thought I had the coordination under control. Boy was I wrong, and so after moving back to Indiana after graduation and learning about Bloomington, I decided to make it my mission to save other couples the headache of coordinating their own wedding!
 

I've always been empathetic in nature, and when I worked with my couples I would continuously hear the calming effects that I would have during a panicked situation or a last-minute issue. That's when I got curious about coaching and how there might be something more I could do than just help plan and execute the wedding. Keeping my couples sane through the process is an important piece of the puzzle, and once you execute a few more than a hundred weddings, you have a pretty good handle on the process and the struggles that inevitably come about.

That's when The Bride Guider was created. I knew I had more to offer and now not only is my mission to plan and execute a stress-free wedding, but to help provide the tools to get bride's through the planning process in as stress-less an experience as possible!
