planning weddings from the Bay Area to Portland
based in
Bend, Oregon
—and planning them should be too. We believe in belly laughs over breakdowns and planning sessions that feel more like kitchen-counter conversation than high stakes strategy meetings. Stress is for space shuttle launches, not the happiest day of your life.

While design services are included in our Wedding Planning and Design package, this offering is for couples working with us in a Day Of capacity or seeking an expertly curated, cohesive design a la carte. We begin with an in-depth design meeting to understand your vision, review your Pinterest boards and personal style, and set creative priorities. Over the following weeks, we refine ideas and gather feedback, resulting in a comprehensive 20+ page design document that outlines every visual detail and gives your vendor team a clear roadmap to bring it to life.
Custom Wedding Mood Board & Design Deck
Ideal for couples planning a wedding in Oregon who have the time to take on most of the planning themselves, but still want a professional in their corner from day one. This package includes a clear roadmap, every-other-month check-ins to review deliverables and answer questions, and seamless execution on the wedding day so you can stay fully present.
Especially well suited for couples planning a destination wedding in Bend who want steady guidance and a trusted local presence.

we offer
What
From our very first conversation, we step in as true partners and creative collaborators. We take ownership of the planning process, managing the research, outreach, logistics, communication, and vendor coordination on your behalf while you go about your day-to-day life. Rather than handing you endless decisions, we return with curated options, clear recommendations, and a thoughtful, visually driven design plan that reflects your priorities. We meet as often as you’d like to report back, riff on ideas, share feedback, and confidently move on to the next phase, so planning feels organized, intentional, and surprisingly enjoyable.
