Hi, I’m Wendy.
A Metro Detroit, Michigan-based wedding & event planner with a passion for crafting meaningful, memorable experiences near and far.
With over 13 years in the industry, I’ve had the privilege of planning events not just across the Midwest, but across the country and around the world. From corporate retreats in France to rooftop weddings in Los Angeles, my work has taken me coast to coast and beyond, each event infused with creativity and intentional design.
What makes my approach different? I believe the best events are deeply personal, well-organized, and reflective of the people at the center of them. No matter the type of event, my process is grounded in thoughtful planning, calm leadership, and an unwavering eye for detail.
I work with couples, brands, and corporate leaders who want more than just a pretty event. They want something that feels authentic, elevated, and effortless. My clients know they can trust me to handle the logistics, lead with care, and create something unforgettable.
Kind words.

“We cannot put into words how amazing Wendy is as a person and to work with as an event planner. She took the time to get to know us and our interests and that was her main priority. Her detail oriented spreadsheets were beyond helpful, her patience with us (whenver we changed our mind) and her willingness to meet and even to answer late-night calls made us feel important. She is truly a gem and we already miss her!” - Michael & Brent

Wendy helped us plan our wedding in September 2024 and it was truly the day of our dreams. She recommended our florist, found the perfect linens and helped us create the perfect centerpieces to match our book theme. She ensured that we never had to worry about who was where and when, with both vendors and guests! Everything ran perfectly smoothly (and if it didn’t, we had no idea and still don’t!). We absolutely recommend her to anyone for ANY event, large or intimate. -Lesley & Scott
