Cool wedding planning resources I made

“Honey, do you want help, a hug, or to be heard?”

A toast I heard this month and, I think, solid advice. Want more advice? Here’s my entire archive.

New resource: How long do things take?

I made a cheat sheet to help you plan your timeline.

Getting married at The Victorian Belle next year?

I’m offering $300 off my coordinating services to VB clients for 2026 if they book me between now and the end of September. Just mention that you’re getting married at the Belle in my contact form.

“Hire her as soon as you can.”

A kind review from a recent client. Officially hit 180 five-star reviews!

Neat touch: One of my clients this month had cocktail napkins that were inspired by the bride’s parents’ cocktail napkins from their wedding 35 years ago.

The Nines is hosting a wedding open house.

It’s Sunday 9/14.

The Portland Bridal and Wedding Expo is coming up.

It’s not really my jam but hey, maybe it’s yours! Here are 10 ways to make attending an expo like this work for you.

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