About Us

Meet Summer

Owner and Creative Director

I come to my clients with 20 years of in-depth industry experience, including bridal fashion & styling, food & beverage management, venue coordination, and project management. This invaluable experience allows my clients to know that when they work with me, we’re not going to wing it.

Though we’re in our 9th season of planning full-service weddings, I truly believe education never ends and I’m proud to participate in industry conferences and continued education certifications to bring my best to the Midwest! Along with education comes new ideas and adventures, and I am so happy to be such a big part of this new rental sector. Event design is one of my many passions, and I can’t wait to bring your vision to life with my eye for design.

I think life is meant to be lived and when I’m not working, my family and I are doing just that – we love to travel and experience new places, culture, food and adventures – especially if travel includes being poolside at some point!

My happy place is at hot yoga or reading a good book on my screened porch, low-fi spa music playing, and being surrounded by my pets and nature.
