    Yes, we understand that every wedding is unique. We offer customizable wedding packages to suit your specific needs, preferences, and budget. From full-service packages to à la carte options, we can tailor our services to match your requirements.
  • What services do you offer for weddings?
    We offer a comprehensive range of wedding services, including wedding planning, decor and styling, coordination, and officiant services. We aim to provide everything you need to plan, design, and execute your dream wedding seamlessly.

  • Can you perform a wedding ceremony in a non-traditional venue?
    Yes, I am able to perform ceremonies in a variety of venues, including parks, beaches, and private residences.
  • What inspired you to become a wedding officiant?
    As a bilingual wedding officiant, I am able to provide a truly inclusive and personalized ceremony for couples who come from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. My passion for languages and cultures, combined with my experience in public speaking and performing ceremonies, inspired me to become a bilingual wedding officiant. I understand the challenges that couples face when trying to plan a wedding that respects and incorporates both partner's traditions and cultures. By offering ceremonies in both English and Spanish, I am able to help couples create a meaningful and inclusive ceremony that reflects their unique story and backgrounds.
  • Can we write our own vows?
    Absolutely! Personalized vows are a wonderful way to make your ceremony more meaningful and special. I am happy to work with you to create personalized vows that reflect your love and commitment to each other.
  • What types of ceremonies do you perform?
    I perform a variety of ceremonies, including traditional, non-denominational, interfaith, and same-sex weddings. I am happy to work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your unique style and preferences.
  • Can we customize our ceremony to suit our preferences and style?
    Absolutely! I believe that every ceremony should be unique and personalized to the couple. I work closely with each couple to understand their vision and preferences, and create a ceremony that reflects their love and commitment to each other.
  • What is the average length of a wedding ceremony?
    The length of a wedding ceremony can vary depending on the couple's preferences. On average, a ceremony typically lasts between 20-30 minutes.
  • What areas do you cover?
    I am a licensed wedding officiant in Virginia. I’ll officiate weddings indoors, outdoors, casual, fancy, fun-themed, or anything in between. If you’re outside of the area and would like me to officiate, or you have a destination wedding in mind, just ask. I’m willing to travel!
  • How far in advance should we book our wedding officiant?
    It's recommended to book your wedding officiant as early as possible, preferably 6-12 months in advance. This allows you to secure your preferred officiant and ensures they are available on your wedding day. But no worries! If you need me at short notice feel free to contact me for availability and we will make it happen!
  • Why do we need an event planner?
    An event planner’s primary goal and responsibility is to help you stay focused and organized. We’re here to help you stay on track, refer to you reputable vendors, supply a wealth of resources, and negotiate on your behalf and carry out your vision. In addition to planning your event, if you engage us for services, we will wimbly react to any possible wrinkle that may occur.
  • How soon should i book your services?
    This all depends on the type and size of event you are planning. If it’s a wedding, we would say to start the conversation when you’ve set your date (we recommend 8-12 months in advance where possible). Other events can certainly take a shorter planning time. Don’t worry; your cost would not increase if you started earlier. We still only bill based on the total number of hours spent working on your event. All in all, always start the planning early. It’s better to have some breathing room as the event approaches. That being said, we’re totally comfortable working in a last minute, high-stress environment, so if you find yourself needing to plan a last minute event, don’t hesitate to call. We’ll let you know if it’s not possible to do, but our attitude is “there is always a way”.
  • What types of events do you plan?
    Anything you can think of! From birthday parties, to graduations, anniversaries, proposals and engagements, bachelorettes / bachelor parties, rehearsal dinners, elopements, micro weddings, weddings and much more. Fill out our contact form to get started with your special event.
  • If hired, do i need to use your recommended vendors?
    The short answer is, no. However, we have worked hard at developing these relationships and we can guarantee the quality of the service of vendors we suggest. However, we are more than happy to work with any vendors you would prefer.
  • Can I personalize the items in my party in a box?
    Yes! We offer personalization options on certain items such as banners, invitations, and party favors for additional costs. You can add names, dates, or special messages to make your party even more memorable and unique.
  • What is a party in-a-box service
    A fully customized party in a box service is a convenient and hassle-free way to create a personalized and unique party experience. It allows you to select specific items and decorations tailored to your chosen occasion, theme, and preferences, all conveniently packaged and delivered to your doorstep. No set up is included.
