  • A wedding planner allows you to live in the moment on your wedding day and fully enjoy your engagement leading up to it. From start to finish, planning the perfect wedding can run around 300 hours. Hiring a wedding planner saves you time by handling time-consuming tasks and helping you navigate the entire process so that you don’t have to stress during this magical time. You will receive undivided attention, professional advice, and expert handling to ensure that every detail is taken care of, all things flow smoothly, and that all the pieces come together to reflect your unique vision.

    SKE will be your support system, your go-to guide, and your friend throughout this special season of your life. We do everything to make it a dream come true.

  • Yes! We have planned many weddings for couples out of state— in Virginia, Rhode Island, and beyond. No matter where you want to get married, reach out for a consultation and we will be happy to consider your location.

  • We take on a very limited number of weddings a year, so it is best to book as early as possible. That way, we are able to give our couples our full attention, plenty of time, and a fully individualized approach to meet the highest standards.

  • I’ll start by saying this: a day-of venue coordinator is not a substitute for a wedding planner.

    I can not stress the differences between the two enough. The venue manager only manages weddings at the venue. They are solely there to make sure the venue team is doing what they need to and managing catering and beverage (if on site).

    Unfortunately, this gets misconstrued a lot. They are not involved at all up until the month of. That is NOT enough time for someone to take control of a full wedding and execute it properly. Which is why we always recommended having an independent planner in the mix.

    When you hire SKE you are hiring a professional that has experience from all over the north east and many different locations and venues and will bring that experience to make your day all you’ve imagined. Depending on the package, we will help onboard vendors, curate design visions, review contracts, coordinate logistics, vision boards, timelines... The list goes on and on..

  • SKE works with you according to your specific needs. We have a broad scope of clientele ranging in terms of their preferred involvement– from the very hands-on couple to the take-the-wheel couple. SKE is happy to curate a custom proposal based on your desired approach and we’ll work with you one-on-one to establish the best strategy based on your preferences. We will provide as much support as you wish and will work with you closely to bring your vision to life while alleviating any trace of overwhelm.

    You are always in control of your level of control, and that looks differently for every couple. Want to do a few things yourself? Great! Need a little help with some final tasks? Sure! Want to show us your vision and hand us the wheel? You got it. We are here to help at every capacity.

  • Let’s be fully transparent: planning a wedding is stressful, but with the right wedding planner, you can enjoy the process and have a wedding that is everything you’ve dreamed of. Basically, you can have your cake and eat it, too, if you hire a wedding planner that truly understands your vision.

    And I’m that kind of planner. I always take the time to listen and understand your vision right from the start. There’s nothing more important than us being on the same page. Once we have an understanding of each other, my goal is to bring that vision to life with a wedding that captures what makes your love so special.

    My curated, customized approach makes me the right fit for many different couples– no matter what you need, I’m here to help at any capacity. From the aesthetic, to vendors, to venues, to flowers, to guest lists, and more– I know how to check all the boxes, plus I have connections to some of the best vendors in the area.

    Finally, I take my clients happiness very seriously and hold the highest standards for your satisfaction. I thrive off building a trusting and fun wedding planning relationship and value the relationships I’ve made with couples. When you hire SKE, you’re not just hiring a wedding planner. You’re getting a full support system ready to handle whatever you need to make your dream wedding a reality
