When Caroline, one of my best friends, got engaged, I was over the moon. Five months later, she hadn’t done anything related toward wedding planning. She said she was so busy already & the idea of organizing an event like that seemed stressful and unenjoyable. Caroline had been leaning toward eloping in a destination location, […]
Igor & I had already gotten legally & church married before our actual wedding-wedding celebration. But I love wedding ceremonies & I still wanted to do something special with all our friends & family present – even if it was really just symbolic. And I didn’t want to throw a generic wedding – I wanted […]
Because of covid-restrictions on gatherings, Igor and I got legally & church married before having the party-wedding with all our friends and family. And I’ll be honest – our legal wedding wasn’t as “fun” as you’d hope a wedding would be. I woke up early in the morning to do a Target run, pick up […]
Igor and I both grew up in Salt Lake City, our immediate families (minus his dad) are in Salt Lake City, and we lived in Salt Lake City while planning our wedding. So getting married in Utah was the obvious choice. While I didn’t have my future wedding plans fully flushed out, I always knew […]

As an additional service to help both myself and my couple, I create a recommended wedding day schedule. If the couple has hired a wedding planner, I will work with him/her to create a schedule that works for us both. If the couple doesn’t have a planner, they usually just go by my solo recommendation. […]
If you’re looking for a mountain wedding venue at the best price, Storm Mountain is my go-to recommendation! I chose to throw my own wedding rehearsal dinner here because it is simply gorgeous and so so affordable. I’ve compiled essential Storm Mountain wedding information and costs as of Spring 2022. Things are always subject to […]
One of the ways we saved money for our wedding was to make most of our wedding invitations digital. It’s 2021 😉 We printed only 25 physical invitations and gave those only to older-generation guests who’d expect it and people who actually save that paper. For all other guests, we sent them the below message […]
