Totally Awesome Vendors

I'm not kidding when I say that I have arrived at a venue to see the DJs frantically reading directions for their mixing board and trying to figure out which wire goes where. When I walk into a wedding and see Rudy standing by the speakers, a huge weight falls off my shoulders. I know that the sound for the ceremony will be perfect, the music will be exactly what the couple requested, and the reception is in the hands of a consummate professional.

The first wedding planner I ever worked with, and still the one who impresses me the most. I connect best with people who love what they do, and Regina is probably the best example I can provide. She manages to juggle every minute detail of a wedding and makes it look easy, even though I've seen her behind the scenes and I know exactly how much energy she is putting into making everything perfect. I'd work alongside her any day. Click any photo to visit Regina's website.

I'm not going to pretend to know the first things about lighting, composition, or anything else that makes a good photo. What I DO know is that Cate's photographs capture the heart and soul of a person, and I stand in awe of her talents. She is an artist in every sense of the word, and she goes far beyond any other photographer I have ever encountered. Perhaps more importantly, though, is that Cate is just...kind. You'll see when you meet her. Click any photo to visit Cate's website.

Having a wedding photo displayed on your wall is cool. Having a wedding painting displayed on your wall is epic. Sulan takes your favorite wedding memory and turns it into a work of art. I was lucky enough to know her when she was a kid, and now she's an Ivy League university student whose work has been displayed in the White House.
