Why I Started Eden Inspired Events
A Personal Story About Home, Connection, and Celebrating What Matters Most
Weddings have always had my heart. There’s something about watching two people say yes to forever that never stops feeling sacred to me. It’s not just the florals or the pretty tablescapes (though I love those too). It’s the way a wedding brings together the people in special places, the families and the memories that shape your love story—and celebrates all of it with intention.
That’s why I created Eden Inspired Events. It’s more than a business. It’s a reflection of how I live, what I believe in, and the deep happiness I find in helping couples plan their wedding day with clarity, purpose, and heart.
Why Weddings?
I'm a mom of four grown children and a lifelong celebrator at heart. For as long as I can remember, I've been drawn to designing events—not for the sake of the event itself, but for the opportunity to honor someone’s story. And if there’s one story worth celebrating well, it’s a love story.
I know firsthand how overwhelming the planning process can feel, especially when you're trying to do it without a full-service planner. That’s why I offer 1:1 consults and digital tools designed to bring calm to the chaos, and to help couples feel empowered instead of pressured.
What Makes Eden Inspired Different
I offer 1:1 consults and curated digital tools that help you plan with intention—at your own pace, with personalized expert guidance when and where you need it most. No packages to commit to, no fluff, no pressure. Just clear, calm support designed around your needs.
Unlike the big platforms, my support is tailored to your personal struggles. I hop on a call with you. I listen. I meet you exactly where you are in the process—whether that’s navigating vendor decisions, organizing your timeline, or figuring out what actually matters to you (not just what social media tells you should).
I help you connect with trusted vendors who align with your vision, your energy, and your love story. And I keep my services at an accessible price point because I believe the real goal isn’t putting on a big show. The goal is to create a day that’s truly about you and your partner—one that allows you to be present, soak in every moment, and tuck those memories away for the rest of your life.
As I approach my 29th wedding anniversary, I can still feel the excitement in the room and the electricity between my husband and me on that day. We didn’t have a wedding planning service, but the energy we created was unforgettable.
What fills my heart most is that our family and friends still talk about our wedding.
Not because it was perfect, but because it was real. It was exciting, heartfelt, and filled with so much love. That’s the experience I want to help you create for your day - the kind that lingers in your heart and in the hearts of everyone who is there to celebrate your story..
Because that happiness and love? That’s what carries you home when life gets hard. That’s what matters most.
What’s in a Name?
The name Eden Inspired Events is deeply personal. I raised my family on a road called Eden, a place that’s been the backdrop for over 25 years of laughter, up and downs, growth, change, and love. Every bit of inspiration I bring into this work comes from that place—from the quiet beauty of home, the people I love most, and the moments that remind us what really matters.
Eden isn’t just a word—it’s a way of living and creating. It represents peace, beauty, intention, and connection. And that’s the energy I bring to every wedding I help guide.
Where I Find Inspiration
A Life Full of Love, Beauty, and Inspiration
When I’m not helping couples find calm in the planning process, you’ll find me in the places that fill me up most: with my family, out exploring the world, or at home with my hands in the soil.
I love getting my hands dirty in the garden, tending to our chickens, and diving into a good book. There’s something about the rhythm of those simple moments that grounds me and fuels my creativity.
My family and I are especially drawn to Europe—where the pace is slower, the joy is quieter, and beauty lives in everyday things. Their way of life has deeply shaped how I approach both design and celebration: with intention, ease, and reverence for the little details that matter most.
Why I’m Not a Full-Service Planner (And Why That Matters)
While I have the deepest respect for the incredibly talented full-service planners out there, I chose to walk a different path.
Eden Inspired Events was born from the belief that every couple deserves a beautiful, elevated wedding—without the pressure, overwhelm, or $20,000+ price tag that often comes with traditional planning services.
In a world where wedding content floods your feed and creates unrealistic expectations, I wanted to offer something quieter, more grounded, and deeply personal. Something that reminds you: you absolutely can create a stunning, heartfelt wedding without handing over the reins entirely.
That’s where I come in - to guide you every step of the way.
A Different Kind of Planning Support
I don’t offer full-service wedding planning. What I do offer is something more personal:
One-on-one consultations for couples who want clarity without the commitment
Digital tools and checklists designed with intention and simplicity
Expert guidance without the overwhelm or the $20K+ price tag
Because a wedding rooted in who you are, what you value, and what matters most to you, will always feel more beautiful than one shaped by expectations, outside pressure and costly investments.
From My Heart to Yours:
This is what I want for every couple:
A wedding that feels like home.
A planning process that feels empowering, not exhausting.
And a love story told with intention, beauty, and heart.
If you're in the middle of wedding planning and feeling unsure of what comes next, I want you to know: you're not alone, and you don’t have to do it all by yourself.
Eden Inspired Events exists to help you plan with confidence, without sacrificing meaning or joy. Whether you need help starting your vendor search, building your timeline, or simply feeling less overwhelmed—I’m here to walk with you, one intentional step at a time.
Let’s celebrate your story—beautifully.
