I lowered my prices.

A few Junes ago, I used a Tide To Go pen to get ice cream out of a bride’s dress as her wife laughed. That pen might be the most important item in my work kit.

Cool wedding planning resources I made

I did my first 2026 wedding this month.

“It was, to my eyes, flawless.”

This month’s most-read resource?

It’s my template for a ceremony script. Pairs nicely with this guide on how to run a wedding rehearsal.

I haven’t booked a 2027 wedding yet.

I’d like to change that so I lowered my prices by $200. Here’s what I do and what I charge, and here’s where you can book a free 10-minute call to interview me for the job.

EVEN MORE FREE WEDDING PLANNING RESOURCES

Cool wedding planning resources other people made

A colleague of mine created the LGBTQ+ LoveFund.

His clients help fund a grant that supports LGBTQ+ clients plan their weddings.

Eloping in the Pacific Northwest?

This guide covers it all and has some amazing photos too. Courtesy of my friend and colleague Nadia Padzensky of Venture Ever After.

They liked working me and I liked working with them so they’re offering folks 10 percent off who mention my name.

Psst — Per my code of conduct, I don’t take kickbacks or other things of value for my referrals.

Wedding vendors, this is for you

The newsletter has a small but mighty readership and it’s always free to share your news if you’re a wedding vendor.

Weddings take a lot of work! For a little extra help, consider:
