It’s been just over a year since everything we knew to be consistent about producing momentous celebrations transitioned into continual conversations around “what if’s.” Following differing state and city guidelines all with varying restrictions, ever-changing on short notice. Nevertheless, we’ve become conditioned to prepare and modify accordingly - working hand-in-hand with our trusted event partners to streamline communication and execute with grace. I am deeply grateful to KKWE couples for choosing not to ride the wave but to create our own, trusting all will unfold with boundless beauty and timeless appeal...just as it should.

If you are planning a wedding in 2021, do not fixate on guidelines or chase numbers - chase a feeling. Picture your day with those closest, enjoy an elevated design that exceeds all expectations, incorporate even more personal touches and focus on what we can achieve now. Happiness cannot be restricted but rather is always felt immeasurably through love. Choose that.

Plans turn reality starting May 1 as we kick-off with our first 2021 wedding and highly anticipated season. Ready. So very ready.

Boston is home to some of the most distinct and historic landmarks. The iconic grand staircase at @fsboston, offering sweeping views of the Public Garden serves as the optimal portrait moment. A timeless image of Soojin and Tony so beautifully captured by @binitapatelphoto

Evolve | verb | develop gradually, especially from

Evolve | verb | develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

Change fosters growth. It requires new perspective around circumstances that must be evaluated with a fresh lens. It demands nimble thinking and a creative mind. It’s an opportunity to realign focus and tap into greater strengths. Most notably, it’s a time to reflect, recognize and appreciate progress.

Prepared for the upcoming season, humbled by these internalized lessons and continued success. Born to serve with a passion for event planning. An industry that advances boundless creativity with clients and colleagues who inspire me on a daily basis to keep moving forward...to keep evolving.

2021, ready.

November 14, 2020 this image swept Instagram, bringing a huge smile to my face. Learning of Victoria and Adjatay’s engagement was met with pure joy followed by my next intuitive thought of how much I’d love to plan their wedding.

Having met this endearing couple last summer while planning Tori’s sisters wedding, I could only hope our paths would cross again. Event planning is so much more than simply design and logistics- it’s investing time and heart with families to create treasured celebrations. And when your really fortunate, may even have that opportunity twice with the coolest sisters and their mom!

Inspired by the couples Cameroonian and Italian heritages, we’ll be incorporating many thoughtful and highly personalized touches to both their table setting and menu. Oh and you can now rest assured the dance floor will be lit!

Coming 6.19.21.

Listening to @massgovernor announcement yesterday

Listening to @massgovernor announcement yesterday loosening MA State Guidelines effective March 22, now allowing for 100 guests indoors and 150 guests outdoors at venues took me a minute to process. Tears of joy streamed down my face. I exhaled, feeling truly lighter for the first time in almost a year. Elated for our industry, colleagues, couples and friends who have been waiting patiently for this exciting news. Words that give us wings to do what we love. Couples planning weddings in 2021, forced to consider contingency plans can now feel some sense of certainty moving forward. A huge step for our industry however, the fight doesn’t end here. My heart is also with peers and couples planning private residential celebrations this spring/summer, still waiting for the green light.

KKWE proudly planned, replanned and executed eight successful and safe intimate celebrations as well as two elopements in 2020 - seven of which were at private homes. I’ve never worked harder or with more determination in my life, adhering to every necessary safety measure to produce some of the most meaningful events. Thank you to the families for your trust and being open to this blueprint - it kept us all rooted in love.

The commitment of our trusted event partners who worked tirelessly to deliver was remarkable. We showed up together, masked and ready to go - authentic exchanges of pure gratitude to be working. We teetered the professional line and became emotionally invested in our clients happiness - rightfully so during a challenging time that tolled us all.

Overjoyed to continue forward however would be remiss not to acknowledge the small businesses and couples currently sidelined. “We are in this together” still rings true. Have faith. With the proper safety measures in place, please @massgovernor reconsider the restrictions around private residential celebrations. Especially with fully licensed and insured catering companies equally committed to working within guidelines. My letter advocating for these folks has been sent to the Governors office. I hope you will consider doing the same.

Today. New beginnings. Hope. God bless America! 🇺🇸

Too beautiful not to repost the impactful design of @frontrunnerprod @heyliipfert .

There were no crowds at the Capitol for President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday. Instead, there was a sea of 200,000 flags placed on the National Mall, representing the people who could not be there because of the pandemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans. The streets of Washington were filled not with revelers, but with 25,000 National Guard troops deployed to prevent a repeat of the riot former President Donald Trump incited at the Capitol two weeks ago.

Compelling how our lives can be shared in chapters

Compelling how our lives can be shared in chapters. These life defining moments, often surreal that are hard to describe and can only be felt. His heart pulsing knee drop, her eyes glazed with happy tears...their start to forever. What an honor for us to play a small part in this love story.
