Wedding planners. They help you envision, design, execute—and oftentimes—so much more. When it comes to planning one of the biggest days of your life, why wouldn’t you leave it up to the professionals that call it their passion? We’d like to take you into the minds of some of our favorite planners, their unique approaches to serving brides and why they play a critical role in creating the day of your dreams.

“...I got into this industry to help others alleviate the stress associated with planning significant milestones. It’s the knowledge that I can use my talents to assist couples to truly enjoy their wedding day, rather than stress about every detail, that motivates me daily. Every wedding needs one point person, and that should not be the couple, their family or a best friend. At All in the Details, we enjoy being that contact person for our couples so that they can remain busy creating lasting memories with their loved ones. It’s a privilege we don’t take lightly."

“I personally love that we get to walk so closely alongside couples during a very unique season of life and get to be a part of preparing them for the amazing gift of marriage! I also love intentionally reflecting a couple’s story through their celebration and helping create an experience throughout the process from start to finish that is as simple and life-giving as possible for all involved."

“From a young age, I have always loved to create experiences. Whether it was performing in the living room for my grandma (I promise, I won't sing at your wedding!) or making a meal for my mother's birthday, complete with folded cloth napkins and china, I have always recognized the importance of creating moments. I think that's what drew me to weddings. They offered the opportunity to craft an experience that, for most couples, is the most important of their lives. It's that desire to make their day unforgettable that keeps me working at 10 p.m. or ironing 200 cocktail napkins. I only get one chance to make a client's wedding day perfect, and I take that responsibility very seriously."

"I truly pride myself on helping my couples navigate the planning process while staying true to who they are and what is important to them, whether it's a smooth transition, fun atmosphere or all about design. More often than not, each party has a different 'number one' regarding their big day, and I love making the two join forces to create something unique to both of them."

“I love planning and coordinating weddings because first, they are the most important day of one's life and because it's a celebration of love. I am motivated to do this because I love starting with a blank slate, creating something beautiful and memorable and then taking it down when done and starting over. I fell in love with planning weddings 22 years ago when I planned my own 1940s style wedding, complete with period dress for the guests and a 13 piece big band. It was truly magnificent...a day I will never forget for many reasons! So, with each wedding I plan, I want to recreate how I felt on my special day for each bride and groom I have the privilege of working with."-Theressa Ruppert, Divine by Design
