Backyard Bliss was born from my own DIY backyard wedding — an experience filled with handmade details, borrowed hands, laughter, and the magic of turning a space I loved into something extraordinary.

That day planted a seed.
Soon I was helping loved ones plan their weddings, and I realized how deeply I connected with the process — the creativity, the logistics, the emotion, the problem-solving, and the joy of watching everything come together.

I’ve always believed weddings should feel like home — whether they take place under towering trees, beside a willow branch, or in a space filled with personal history. Not stiff, not rushed, not overly orchestrated. Just warm, connected, and alive with meaning.

Backyard Bliss blends who I am at my core:
the organized planner and the imaginative creator,
the spreadsheet lover and the sentimental storyteller,
the person who sees both the “big picture” and every tiny detail that makes it special.

The Hudson Valley is woven into everything I do —
its quiet beauty, its backyard magic, its sense of community and roots.
Your stories, cultures, rituals, and families inspire every celebration I help bring to life.

And when I’m not designing timelines or dreaming up layouts,
you’ll find me curled up with my cats, a good book, a classic horror film, or crafting something new that transforms everyday spaces into moments of wonder.

If you’re looking for a planner who sees beyond logistics
and into the heart of your day —
I’m already excited to meet you.

Let’s create something beautiful together.
