our team

Many couples come to us feeling extremely overwhelmed.  Planning a wedding feels stressful and expensive. 

We are award winning consultants who provide planning assistance and event management services.  Our goal has always been to save our clients time and money.  

We have over 18 years of combined experience in the event industry.  Our team has directed over 300 events in the last seven years. 

 

We are based in Memphis and proudly serve the Mid-South region including Jackson, Jonesboro and Oxford.   

We love to travel and are always delighted to manage events in new places and work with new vendors.

Additionally, Kathleen co-hosts the Pop The Question Podcast with the supremely talented photographer, Camille Leigh.  Together, they dish on all things wedding related and offer tips and tricks for the newly engaged.
