First things First! Celebrate your engagement! Couples do not do this enough, and honestly I wish we would bring back the engagement period of weddings. When couples reach out to me, I always ask, have you celebrated?! This can look different to everyone but here are 3 ways to celebrate the most exciting time of your life!

Book a Couples Massage

Listen, your fiance is STRESSED! Think about all the money they just spent on your ring, all of the time and effort they put into creating the perfect proposal, keeping a secret! Having to ask your parents!! I mean com’on! Talk about STRESS, I think a couples massages is definitely in order! 

Have a party

This is what I would do, have a really fun, simple party! I’m talking amazing charcuterie boards, wine, champagne, your favorite apps and an amazing playlist! That’s all you really need! It doesn’t have to be fancy, it can be at home but invite your closest friends and family over and have fun! Show off your ring and bask in all the excitement! 

Have a Date Night

Go to the place you had your first date and enjoy reminiscing on how far the two of you have come! This is so much fun, and can also be so funny to think about where the two of you first met to now!

BEHIND THE Wedding

MEET Victoria


Growing up, my mother had a dinner party for just about everything. She would make name cards, put out her best china, let me help her pick flowers, and always cook something spectacular. She taught me, “Presentation is everything.” Long-story-short, the attention to detail, organization and joy that give me my knack for event-planning are in my blood (because truly, I got it from my Mama). My whole life I’ve had a passion for all the elements that make events experiences. Beyond that, I’ve always been told that I throw a really effing fun party, so I decided to leave my career in hospitality and pursue event-planning for real. 

What I’m told draws many of my clients to me is my eye for the details, understanding of who they are, and calm attitude even when things get crazy. What keeps me so fulfilled is my relationships with my clients themselves. Nothing makes me happier than working with a couple to make a vision come to life and genuinely having fun all along the way. 

Thanks for learning a little bit about me; I look forward to learning a little bit about you!
