a song for momma :: happy mother's day

Oh, I wish I had the vocal talent of Boys to Men to serenade all the momma's out there on your day! For now, you'll have to just deal with a You Tube video and one of my favorite Bride / MOB pics EVAH from our wedding last season at the Westchester Country Club.

Happy Mother's Day to all the beautiful ladies who are able to call themselves Mom's - and to my Mom, thank you for loving me! You're one classy chickie!

english garden wedding :: greta + brian

WEDDING. SEASON. IS. HERE. And what better way to kick off 2014 with one of our FAVE weddings from 2013!

This wedding was not only phenomenal but a true celebration of a marriage between two people and their families. Working with Greta and Brian was amazing and their love for one another throughout the planing process is what every planner dreams of. They were a true team! I met Greta and Brian almost two years before their wedding at Panera Bread in Norwalk, CT and for me, it was love at first site. Their love story should be a novel; boy meets girl, girl moves almost across the country to be with him, they fall in love and decide to share the rest of their lives together. With Greta having left behind all of her family and friends in Alabama, she knew she needed a planner and we are so honored they chose us to join this journey with them! Their first request; nothing traditional and they LOVED brunch!

This intimate garden wedding took place on the breathtaking grounds of the Gwyn Careg Inn in Pomfret, CT. Driving onto the property with gorgeous trees flanking the drive while the horses roamed was the perfect setting for this brunch celebration of family and friends. There was no first dance, no introductions, no bouquet toss, just lawn games, family and friends gathering to watch two people say "I do" and eat a slammin' brunch while an A Capella group serenaded them in the background.

happy birthday dGE!

Holy S! Four years ago, my partner in crime Gary and I sat at at The Bear and Grill restaurant in Fairfield, CT, drank some ale and dreamed about starting our own company. And today we celebrate it's FOURTH BIR-SARY! We are so excited to be going into our fourth season and celebrating with all our 2014 couples!  

What an amazing ride it has been! Thank you to all of our clients and gorgeous couples who have supported us and given us mad props along the way and a VERY special shout out to the AMAZE-Balls dGE team who has put up with me all these years!  

Cheers to many more!
