got wedding planning handled (for the most part)
but need a little help because this is your first time?

 

You consider yourself to be an organized person, some might even say “type A” but you’re able to recognize when you need help and when your multitasking skills just won’t be enough.

You’ve got questions like, “Is it a good decision to have floor length linen?” or “What does a sunset ceremony look like in terms of timing?”.

Once you get those answers, you want a checklist. You want something intelligent and pretty, oh, and customizable. Pen to paper is good in theory but you can only fit so much on a post-it.

And how do you turn to do items into a functional wedding timeline for the day of (and the day before of)?

What you need is a…

WEDDING EXPERT.

Someone who is competent, friendly and hilariously bossy to commandeer vendors, family and guests for your FUSS-FREE wedding day.

If you've already booked your venues and your vendors but need help with final touches OR you are prepared to book your venue and vendors based on my suggestions, feedback, and guidance then click below to get what you need.

 

“I was worried she would be over the top obsessed with weddings and be against my anti-wedding attitude.

Then, I met her.

I saw that she was fun, laid-back, and completely supportive and understanding of my non-traditional take on weddings. I knew I would love working with Josey and all hesitation went out the window.”

what is a non-traditional wedding?

Of course there are those that include two brides or a second marriage
but a “non-traditional” wedding may also include some, one, or all of the following:

 
 

minimal something or other

Whether it’s minimal seating, minimal dancing, or minimal impact on the Earth, you are opting out of some of the more traditional wedding must haves.

‘Cause you don’t feel like you “must have” the things you don’t want.

Little to no wedding party

You don’t want to hassle your already-been-through-a-million-weddings friends with having to buy a dress/suit, arrive early/before dawn or take pictures for hours/smile ‘til it hurts.

You just want them to come to your wedding, celebrate your day, and get modestly drunk.

a secular ceremony

I said secular, not sterile.

Your friend is going to marry you and you don’t want Jesus readings. Your non-professional officiant will need help orchestrating the rehearsal and managing the processional. Let’s give them the confidence they need to wed you like a pro.

 “I wanted our day to be seamless and relaxed, and a day for our families (and us, of course!) to enjoy without worrying about logistics and all the "behind the scenes" stuff.”

your tailor-made package will include…

 

Monthly MEETINGS

You don’t need a personal secretary, you aren’t looking for someone to take over your to do lists. You want a mountain guide for your hike, someone to review your progress and create a cohesive and comprehensive timeline that fits what you (plural) want.

REHEARSAL

This is the first step in your marathon of a wedding weekend and you want it to go well. Avoid tripping on your own feet by allowing me to coordinate your rehearsal.

Highly recommended if you have a wedding party larger than 3 people on each side or have a non-professional officiant (you know, professional like a priest or a justice of the peace or some such person).

DAY OF EVENT MANAGEMENT

You don't want to worry about a thing on the day of your wedding. That means someone else will need to be in charge, and no, this task isn’t provided by your venue.

You get someone to handle the questions, the comments, and even the gripes that sound suspiciously like complaints. Is a guest looking for the bathroom, vendor on the hunt for an outlet, extra napkin need, or a beer refill? Point them in my direction.

I offer 8 or 10 hours of day of event management

and wedding cheerleader extraordinaire
