Congrats on your engagement! How's wedding planning going? Since you're here, my guess is that you could use some help. Maybe you have a vision but aren't sure where to start. Or is it that you've found your dream venue but are starting to feel stressed and overwhelmed with reviewing contracts, building your vendor team, creating a cohesive design, and all of the details that follow? Maybe you just straight up don't have the time. If any of these sound like you, don't sweat - you've come to the right place.

Hi! I'm Vanessa Pence.

BE PRESENT, NOT STRESSED.

Sounds like a lot of pressure, right? But the thing is...

... it doesn't have to be. I'll break down the process into easy and enjoyable steps so you can have that wedding without losing sleep over it. 

You deserve to have that wedding. You know what I'm talking about...  that wedding that's insanely gorgeous and filled with so much love, laughter, and dancing that your heart might actually burst. That wedding that brings all of your favorite people and things together. That wedding that leaves your guests saying, "Wow. Now that was a party."

Your love story is unique to you. Your wedding should be too.

My thoughtful and personal approach ensures that your vision, values, and love story are represented on your special day so you can stay focused on what truly matters - marrying your best friend in front of the people you love most. You handle that, I'll handle the rest. 

"Not only is Vanessa incredibly thoughtful and organized but she truly has an eye for style."

Vanessa possesses all of the important qualities of a successful event planner... in spades! She was born to be in the industry, no doubt. Not only is she incredibly thoughtful and organized, but she truly has an eye for style and all the small touches that separate a “successful” event from an “exceptional” one.

"Vanessa removed the stress from a typically stressful process."

My wife and I had never planned any event much less a large wedding thousands of miles away from where we live. We gave Vanessa full creative control on almost every aspect and she did not disappoint. Her meticulous attention to detail, style, creativity and eye for talent were well worth the investment. The wedding turned out more beautiful than we could've ever imagined and our guests had such a great time which was very important to us. Even the venue staff told us that this was the best wedding they had ever had at the resort. Vanessa removed the stress from a typically stressful process and created an amazing wedding weekend that we will never forget. She has my highest recommendation.

"Vanessa is meticulous with planning and executing every detail to perfection."

There just simply isn't enough time for me to go on about the pleasures of working with Vanessa. I crafted custom stationary for one of her couples that spoke to their love of travel and it was such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. She has the rare ability to see the full picture of an event months in advance, and is meticulous with planning and executing every detail to perfection. From my short time working with her, it's clear to me that Vanessa achieves a level of excellence in event planning that few are able to obtain and to say that she is a visionary would be selling her short. For this, and countless other reasons, I truly look forward to attaching my brand to her events and working with her again.

"Our wedding day was perfect."

Vanessa carefully crafted every detail to make our wedding day magical - from the ceremony, reception, to dinner and dancing. She worked with us every step of the way to make the planning experience stress free and actually fun. On the days leading up to the wedding and the wedding day itself, Vanessa and her team took care of everything so we didn’t have to and we could just enjoy the day. We highly recommend Vanessa if you want to take the burden off planning and fully enjoy the celebration. Our day was perfect.
