The Planning Experience
Based in the Washington DC area I design and execute personalized weddings and mitzvah’s tailored to my clients needs and wants.
I craft events that resonate with who you are. No two events are alike. Let’s make yours special – and uniquely yours – full of personal touches.
I want you to be able to relax and enjoy your event from start to finish and not have to worry about a thing.

Are we required to have a certain budget?
I do not require a minimum budget. We would be happy to talk through your budget and see which service makes the most sense.
Which package should I book?
It really depends on what your needs are.
If you want to plan everything yourself and then hand everything over to someone at the end so you can enjoy your day go for the Month of Coordinator.
If you need a little bit more help and need someone to help you pick out your vendors and want a little bit more hand holding and consultation during the whole process you should think about Partial Planning.
If you want someone there from the start through everything, at every meeting and helping you pick every detail then you should go for Full Planning.
Will you be running my ceremony rehearsal?
Absolutely! We want to be involved in your rehearsal and will run that for you along with whichever officiant you have.
Where are you located?
I live in Arlington, Virginia and service the Washington DC, Northern Virginia, and surrounding Maryland area as well.
My venue comes with a coordinator do I still need to book you?
YES! Most venues come with a coordinator who manages the venue, which is very important. They are a great liaison on the event day to ensure the venue is clean, communicate with the chefs if food is served in-house, and much more. I will step in to coordinate with your vendors prior to the wedding, oversee setup and setup your personal belongings, and make sure you both are able to enjoy your wedding day. I would love to chat if you still have questions about this!
Do you have experience doing Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s
Yes, loads! I’ve been in the Mitzvah business for years, both planning and creating graphic design items for them. And if we want to go really far back can I count planning my own unprofessionally at 13 as my start in this?
