It's All in the Details
It's investing in the little details that transform a wedding into an unforgettable celebration. We'll work hand-in-hand to thoughtfully piece together your dream wedding that not only tells your beautiful love story but leaves you and your guests speechless.
You're each other's best friend, biggest supporter, motivator, and better half. You're committing the rest of your lives to one another and want to plan the biggest bash to celebrate. While of course you want your day to be stunning, intentional, and seamless, you know that what's most important is that you're marrying the love of your life in front of the people that matter most. The ceremony of your union is the cake, the rest is just the icing on top.

VPE COUPLES PRIORITIZE...
You don't skim on the details - those small but impactful personal touches that elevate a wedding and separate it from all the others, making it uniquely yours. You want a day that all of your friends and family talk about every time you're together. A day that looking back, makes you wish you could do it all over again. From your choice of chairs and china to your handwritten vows, to the paper and font types on your menus, down to the music selections - every last detail is intentionally and tastefully selected.
Thoughtful Details
VPE COUPLES prioritize...
- Your family home, a gorgeous private estate, your favorite vineyard or resort, or a special place along the California coastline as your backdrop.
- Lush, wild floral arrangements that have a personality of their own.
- Colors and a design that elevate vs overwhelm the stunning landscape.
- Textures and elements that add character and compliment the overarching design.
Organic Beauty
As the saying goes, there is no I in team. Planning a wedding is a collaborative effort that truly takes a village and you want the best of the best in your corner to help bring your vision to life. Everyone from your photographer down to the team delivering your rentals is a crucial part to making your big day a reality. And these aren't just vendors that are incredibly talented and fit the budget - you want vendors that, like you, value relationships and partnership and are going to go above and beyond to create a day that represents you and your love.

"Vanessa was the best choice we made in all of our wedding planning."
Vanessa was the best choice we made in all of our wedding planning. She's professional, calm, and collected at all times. She has incredible taste and has made some very strong vendor relationships resulting in a high quality, experienced network of contacts. She was our right hand gal, and helped us create the wedding of our dreams. Do no more research - hire her!

"Invaluable"
We would recommend Vanessa to anyone. She efficiently and professionally managed the planning process for our wedding from start to finish, always with a smile. As a couple, we didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted and Vanessa was there every step of the way to guide us through the hundreds of decisions required to pull off a dreamy Tahoe wedding. She was invaluable and we were completely relaxed on our wedding day knowing that Vanessa had a handle on all the details.

"Planning a wedding can be very stressful but with Vanessa at the helm, the day was just magical."
I had the pleasure of working with Vanessa while planning my son's wedding. Vanessa had wonderful ideas and was able to guide us through the process seamlessly. Planning a wedding can be very stressful but with Vanessa at the helm, the day was just magical. If there were any hiccups the day of, we had no idea, due to Vanessa's professionalism, organizational skills and confidence. I would highly recommend her to any couple.

"I am so excited to work with Vanessa this year to make my day the fairy tale I always dreamed of."
I attended a friend's wedding a couple years ago that was absolutely perfect (and I've been to more weddings than I can count). The day ran seamlessly and it was obvious that no detail went unnoticed. It exuded elegance and was a true fairy tale - exactly what I envisioned for my wedding - so as soon as I got engaged, I knew I needed the planner behind the scenes from my friend's wedding and I am so excited to work with Vanessa this year to make my day the fairy tale I always dreamed of.

Pop the bubbles - the fun starts now! From here through the big day, you'll have unlimited access to me and my resources. My approach is personable and thoughtful to ensure that you have a one-of-a-kind experience and that no detail goes unnoticed.
3. Let the planning begin
During our first consultation, we'll chat about your love story, likes/dislikes, and what you envision for your wedding day. I'll create a custom proposal based off this. We can review any questions and once you're ready to say 'I do', I'll send over the contract to make things official.
2. It's a date
Submit an inquiry through the contact page and I'll get back to you within two business days. If your date is available, we'll schedule a discovery call to get acquainted and make sure we're a perfect fit!
