What did you do prior to joining Chancey Charm / What drew you to planning?
Through internships, I assisted other wedding planners in the Richmond area as well as in Jacksonville Florida. I always loved the way a planner could turn a vision into reality.
What’s your favorite part of the planning process?
My favorite part of the planning process would have to be getting to know the couple that I am working with. It is always so great to see their love for each other show through their wedding style.
What’s your favorite style?
I am a huge fan of the rustic style. It always has a vintage, yet modern feel throughout the details.
What’s your advice for someone thinking about becoming a planner or joining the wedding industry?
Follow your dreams and be patient, brides never go out of style 🙂

Have fun with it! Don’t stress the little things because at the end of the day you found the one you love.

Backstreet Boys. Any backstreet boy song gets my attention.
What’s your favorite way to spend a Sunday afternoon?
