Meet Your Planner
I believe the best celebrations feel effortless — like a warm Lowcountry evening, where the details fade into the background and all that's left is joy. That belief has guided me from the cobblestone streets of Charleston, where I earned my degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management at the College of Charleston, into a career devoted to crafting unforgettable events.
I spent two years with Patrick Properties Hospitality Group, planning celebrations inside some of Charleston's most storied historic venues. Today, I work alongside brides at Carine's Bridal Atelier and craft refined events with Maison de Carine — keeping me immersed in every facet of the wedding world, from the first gown fitting to the final farewell sparkler.
Now based in the D.C. area, I bring that Lowcountry warmth to celebrations across the DMV — and I'm always happy to travel wherever your day takes you. Weddings are my heart, but my experience spans galas, rehearsal dinners, showers, and soirées of every kind. Wherever you're celebrating, I'd be honored to bring a little Southern magic to your day.
