Whitney is a delight. I honestly can’t even count the number of times over the course of wedding planning and our wedding day that my, now, husband and I turned to each other and said, “I am so grateful for Whitney, she is seriously worth her weight in gold.” But it was the truth - of all the decisions we made regarding our wedding, hiring Whitney was the best.

She took our random ideas and iPhone notes and created a day that was perfect for us — unique, beautiful, and beyond anything I could have imagined. She also was an absolute hero - letting my husband and I relax while she fielded family questions and kept our very helpful, hands-on mothers busy. Even the other vendors we worked with loved her, telling us that she was the best planner they’d ever worked with.

If you ever needed a sign that you should hire someone to help plan your wedding, this is it.

With a few edits:

Whitney enriches every process she is a part of. She invests as a producer with her whole heart and creates from a personal place. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Whitney and woven on multiple projects, as an artistic director, and I have observed with big admiration how she does more than assess a situation or a moment; she takes it to the next level and becomes mindful. She listens - with feeling - and finds creative ways to be sure the experience will never fall short of its full potential. She is trustworthy, generous in spirit, elegant, creative, hardworking, experienced, resourceful, and can do just about anything under the sun with excellence. This woman beautifies and elevates everything she touches. If you want your event to be more than a success - if you want it to mean something; bring Whitney onboard.

Whitney was more than a wedding planner, she was and will be a friend. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she cared deeply for people and connection, making her the obvious choice to help execute our special day. She approached the planning process with intention, ensuring that our wedding embodied who we are as a couple and what we value, and challenging us to think through how we would like ourselves and our guests to feel that day. Throughout the 10 months of planning, Whitney listened spiritedly and compassionately, making thoughtful, curated recommendations for various vendors and design elements that contributed to the vibe we were striving for in a meaningful way.

On the wedding day, she brought a refreshing calmness to chaos with a quiet authority that could command 17 groomsmen/bridesmaids, 4 parents, 2 officiants, and 8 niblings with one gentle only—slightly-raised word and a raised hand. She never looked stressed or frantic, and she moved around the wedding lightly, ensuring things were going smoothly and periodically checking in with the two of us to make sure everything was perfect. She contributed to the vibe that we wanted ourselves and our guests to feel that day – relaxed but thoughtfully engaged.

She had an amazing ability to keep track of important details and ensure they were executed well which eliminated any stress around feeling like we had to micromanage. One example worth calling out is the magic she did behind the scenes with our glassware! We chose standard glassware for the wedding 8 months in advance of the wedding. A few months out, we decided to do signature drinks where we got watercolor bar menus created. The bar menu reflected glassware that matched what you would expect the drink to come in, but it didn't match the glassware we chose for the wedding. Unbeknownst to us, she swapped out some of the standard glassware that we chose and replaced it with gorgeous glassware that matched the bar menus and was appropriate for the drink itself, all while not increasing the budget.

Whitney was truly the best. We miss her as a constant in our everyday lives and look forward to continuing a friendship for years to come.
