    I'm Kristy—wedding planner, logistics nerd, and someone who believes your wedding should feel like you from start to finish. My team and I work with couples who want a celebration that’s meaningful, not performative—and that includes LGBTQ+ folks, non-traditional families, introverts, and anyone who’s ever felt like the wedding industry wasn’t quite built with them in mind.

    We plan weddings that center connection, authenticity, and purpose. That might mean tossing traditions that don’t resonate, or creating new ones that do. Our role is to guide you through the process with calm, honesty, and a whole lot of practicality—no assumptions, no fluff, and zero pressure to fit into a mold.

    Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard gathering or a modern celebration with your full crew, we're here to help you feel seen, supported, and at home in every decision.

    How I cater to offbeat weddings

    One of the many reasons I became a wedding planner is to be the change. Through planning my own wedding, it became painfully obvious that the wedding industry is nowhere near as inclusive as it should be. From assuming every couple includes a bride and/or a groom to outdated traditions and etiquette, many wedding corners of the internet felt outwardly exclusive.

    That’s why our approach to wedding planning leaves all assumptions at the door. From our website to our contracts and planning forms, everything is gender-neutral and doesn’t assume you will or will not be wearing a dress, having a traditional ceremony, or engaging in reception traditions such as parent dances or a bouquet toss.

    We love working with couples who come as they are and are excited to plan a wedding that is authentically them. So let us be your wedding ghostwriter! We’ll guide you through the planning process, but the vision and decisions will always be yours.

    Kristy's friendly and warm personality made the entire experience delightful. She treated us like friends, genuinely caring about our happiness. Her exceptional communication skills and attentiveness made planning effortless. She listened to our vision, offered valuable guidance, and ensured that every detail reflected our envisioned style.

    I LOVE working with Offbeat couples! Let me know that you found me through Offbeat Wed, and I'll include $50 worth of rental items in your package, for free!
