  Meet Wendy.

Hi. I’m Wendy, a Detroit-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.

  • “Wendy was incredibly organized, professional, and detail-oriented. (No detail was too small for her to consult on!) She listened carefully to both of us and helped us make thoughtful and intentional decisions for our ceremony, design, and timeline. Wendy's wealth of experience, sharp eye for aesthetics, and thoughtful consideration of our unique preferences made our wedding day truly magical and stress-free. “

She navigates through obstacles with grace and professionalism and has extraordinary interpersonal and client management skills. Her attention to detail combined with a constantly positive attitude makes it a pleasure to work with her. “

  • “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!”
