Hi!
I’m Michaela!
Before starting my own wedding planning business, I was a venue coordinator at four Temecula venues. I saw firsthand how stressed a family could become planning a wedding without professional guidance along the way. This is what ultimately pushed me to make the leap toward independent wedding planning! I started my own business and successfully planned so many weddings (check out these sweet notes!)!
While I no longer coordinate weddings on the day of, setting realistic expectations, uncovering the “fluffery” of wedding lingo, and making sure you’re aware of important logistical details is still so important to me. That is why I now provide as-needed consultation sessions! You and your guests deserve a delightful wedding experience and if you’ve never planned a wedding before or are planning in a new location, there is a good chance there are details that may be overlooked!
My approach to weddings is more laid back than your stereotypical wedding planner. Humor is my go-to superpower for keeping things light and fun throughout the process! I will always give you my opinion and suggestions based on my experience but will ultimately support you in whatever decision you and your fiance make. My goal is to give you all of the information and potential scenarios so you can make the most informed decisions for your day!
I can tell you all of the great, the funny, and the flat-out CRAZY that I have seen at weddings over the years (ask me about how I rescued a flower girl from the pond! -She’s totally okay by the way). I enjoy sharing stories and learning about my couple’s journey and what makes their relationship and families unique. I love discovering the ways that you can incorporate those intricate details into your wedding day!
On the fence about hiring a planner? Have you decided not to hire a planner? Do you consider your venue coordinator your planner (plot twist they aren’t)? Maybe you’re just looking for someone to bounce some quick ideas off of! Let’s chat and make sure you’re on the right track for your wedding day!
