Hello! I've been in the wedding industry for 10 years and the hospitality industry for more than 30 years. Serving others is my passion. I believe every bride deserves a planner and so I try to keep my prices low and my energy high!

When starting the wedding planning process, we reached out to many other wedding planners in the area, all of which made us feel like we were talking to a salesperson thats trying way too hard to connect with us just to secure the sale- conversations felt forced and scripted, A lot of beating around the bush with leading questions & compliments, and aesthetic but generic canva lists containing just about every wedding planning service you can think of to try to lure us in before they hit us with the absurd price. Marnie was the complete opposite. She is super down to earth, witty and easy to talk to. We knew within the first 2 minutes of our first phone call with Marnie, that we wanted to work with her. She got right to the point with figuring out where we were in the planning process, our budget, our vision/ideas, and laid out the general process and her price which was considerably more affordable than many planners in the area. She went way above and beyond for us every step of the way while always making sure that we were happy with everything and that we were staying within budget- from securing venues, vendors, food, entertainment, decor, etc for the ceremony, reception, welcome party, after party and all the activities we planned for guests the days leading up to the wedding, setup/takedown, day of coordination, meetings with venues/vendors, and a million other things in between (quite literally ANYTHING we could have possibly needed) During all of our events leading up to the wedding and on our wedding day we didnt have to lift a finger. Marnie handled absolutely everything flawlessly and it felt like she could literally sense whenever we (or any of our wedding party/guests) needed anything at all because before we could even stand up or say anything, she was somehow already on her way over with whatever it was we needed whether it be a refill on a drink, fixing the flyaways in my hair for pictures, corralling a guest(s) to a different areas, hunting down my bag and accessories from the glam room and bringing them to me so i could change during the reception, making sure we got all the pictures we needed, bringing us back down to earth if we started getting overwhelmed, checking us into our honeymoon suite and moving our bags so we didnt have to deal with it after the reception etc. Even my sister said at one point she was standing around feeling kind of anxious before the ceremony and didnt know what to do with herself and Marnie could just sense that and went up to my sister and asked her if she wanted a job to do to keep herself occupied until the ceremony which my sister was pumped about lol. Also we were coming from out of state so we really appreciated the extra time she put in in regards to handling everything we couldn’t physically be there for- driving to different venues and facetiming us, meeting with all the venue/caterer/vendors for us, letting us ship an insane amount of stuff to her house and hanging onto it for weeks before the wedding and then making multiple trips back and forth to get everything to us when we got there and then also getting everything to the venue on time for setup, printing and picking up stationery, supplying us with tons of decorations and even making decorations for us at no extra cost, offering to get us to/from the airport, etc. the list is truly too long to include everything. You get the gist. Essentially…you name it and shes got you. 1000000000% recommend.

PRP was easily the BEST use of money for our wedding!! I am a very organized gal and did a lot of planning, gathering decor, DIY projects myself - but there is absolutely no way I could have done the actual wedding day without these ladies! They truly put everything together and made all of the planning and organization HAPPEN! The communication with this team is SO easy! A simple walk-through and quick rehearsal was perfect for the entire wedding party to have an idea of what was to happen the following day. Katie and McKenzie listened to all of my desires and made sure they were all met. On my actual wedding day, I did not have to worry about a dang thing, lift a finger, or make any decisions - it was all done for me by ladies that I truly trusted would make the everything happen just the way I had envisioned. They absolutely delivered on every part of the wedding from coordinating everyone throughout the day, decorating the venue, breaking down after the wedding, and directing vendors throughout the day of the wedding as well. If you want your wedding day to be stress-free & full of ease, Katie and her team are your GALS for the job!! 33

From the moment we embarked on the planning journey, Dana's warm and delightful personality instantly put us at ease. Her unwavering commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail transformed what could have been a daunting process into a manageable and relatively stress-free affair.

With her meticulous planning and proactive approach, she ensured that by the week of the wedding, we had zero decisions or tasks left to complete. This allowed us to approach our special day with a sense of calm and relaxation, knowing that every detail had been meticulously taken care of. This was truly priceless. On the day of the wedding, Dana and her team executed flawlessly, leaving no detail overlooked. From managing unexpected challenges with grace and efficiency to ensuring that both sets of parents could fully immerse themselves in the celebration free from tasks or responsibilities. Both our Mom’s had planned our siblings weddings and what a gift for them to be able to relax, be present, and truly enjoy the wedding. I have countless fond memories of Dana and her team going above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. From tackling last-minute emergencies with poise and professionalism to seamlessly coordinating every aspect of the event, Dana's commitment to excellence was apparent in every interaction. I cannot recommend Thyme & Details, and Dana, highly enough. With her unmatched expertise, unwavering professionalism, and genuine care for her clients, she truly exceeded our expectations in every way. If you're searching for a wedding planning partner who will turn your vision into reality or create one for you, look no further than Dana and Thyme & Details. You won't be disappointed.

Where do I even begin? Liz is truly a one of a kind human being. I don’t think I could ever fully put into words how exceptional she is. Her warm, genuine personality, constant professionalism, and humble, grounded presence made every part of the planning process feel supported, organized, and despite my natural overthinking stress. We didn’t originally plan on hiring a wedding planner. But about nine months out, I quickly realized I needed help. Choosing Liz ended up being one of the best decisions we made. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence. Not only did she help manage our entire wedding, but she also planned our honeymoon, which turned out to be beyond anything we ever could have imagined. One of our top activities in Aruba opened for reservations the day after our wedding, and Liz booked it immediately that morning to get us in. She booked all activities and restaurants for us. Anytime I had a question, which was often, she responded within minutes or simply called me. She made everything fun, approachable, and stress-free. She kept detailed tabs on every task and ensured nothing slipped through the cracks. Even when I had the majority of vendors and plans in place, she refined everything with such precision. She understood my personality and how overwhelmed I can get, even when things are technically “done,” and she guided me through everything with patience and grace. The week of the wedding, she checked in frequently. On the day of, she was phenomenal. Every detail was set up exactly how we envisioned it. Labeling bins and décor helped her and her assistant move seamlessly, and I’m so grateful because she executed our entire moody/vintage aesthetic vision flawlessly. Two days before the wedding, when I couldn’t find greenery anywhere, Liz made one or two calls and found it instantly. I’ll never forget when I urgently needed our honeymoon flight information for our rental car info and she literally pulled over on the highway to send it to me. That is who she is, someone who goes above and beyond in ways most people wouldn’t even consider. Her pricing is more than fair, and her service is worth every single penny. Whether you need full-service planning or just check-ins, she adapts to exactly what you need. I had most things planned, but still had countless details and small several questions lol. No matter how minor or silly they felt, she always responded with kindness and expertise. Our FaceTime meetings became a highlight of the planning process. Occasionally, her pups or her daughter would pop into the frame, making everything feel personal-not like a business transaction, but like talking to a friend who genuinely cared about us and our day. Liz is an amazing planner, but she is an even better human. Humble, compassionate, creative, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially with florals. I made my own centerpieces, and with her guidance, they turned out exactly how I imagined. Russell and I are endlessly grateful she was part of our wedding. I could cry thinking about how much she did for us. Liz, thank you for making our day perfect. Thank you for your dedication, your heart, your time, and your incredible talent. We truly could not have done any of this without you. No wedding turns out perfect, but everything Liz was involved with/in charge of - was. We are forever thankful for her.

Hiring Brenna from Blissnics for full-service wedding planning was, without a doubt, the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding journey. Planning from out of state was intimidating, but Brenna made the process effortless and enjoyable from day one. One of the absolute biggest reliefs was not having to communicate with vendors at all. Brenna managed everything—gathering quotes, comparing packages, answering questions, negotiating details, and handling contracts. I truly didn’t realize how tedious and time-consuming those tasks were until I saw how seamlessly she took them off our plate. It saved us so much time, stress, and second-guessing. We felt completely taken care of. Brenna went above and beyond in every way. She toured venues on our behalf (and ultimately found us our dream wedding location!), built our budget, and helped us figure out where to allocate funds based on what mattered most to us. Without her, we would’ve had no idea how much things really cost—or how to plan for all the extras like taxes and tips. What stood out the most was how well she got to know us—not just as clients, but as a couple. She understood our style, our personalities, and our priorities. Every meeting was organized, thoughtful, and productive. She helped bring my design vision to life, walking me through rental options and curating every detail to reflect what I had imagined (honestly, it felt like she stepped inside my Pinterest board and made it real!). On our wedding day, Brenna and her team were the calm, capable presence. Everything was perfectly timed and beautifully set up. She created a detailed, minute-by-minute itinerary and coordinated it with all our vendors. I went to bed the night before the wedding completely at peace, and woke up feeling calm and excited—because I knew Brenna had it all under control. I truly just had to show up, and she and her team had created the most magical, fairytale day. Brenna is not only incredibly professional and talented—she’s kind, thoughtful, and deeply invested in her couples. I can’t recommend her enough. If you're even thinking about hiring a wedding planner, let this be your sign: trust Brenna. You’ll be so, so glad you did!

At Avenue Design Studio, we began as a floral business, but quickly realized we could offer so much more to our clients. Over our 10+ years of working with couples on those special lifetime moments, we found ourselves stepping in to assist our brides and event clients with planning, vendor coordination, and overall event management. This inspired us to shift our focus and create Avenue Design Studio, a full-service event planning and design company. Whether you’re looking for full-service planning or just need assistance with specific aspects, we provide multiple packages and a la carte options to fit your needs. You dream it, we create it.

From start to finish working with Avenue Design Studio was a fantastic experience! I had an initial call with Chad and based on that I knew they were professionals who could bring my vision to life through floral design and day of coordination. Then they continued to provide clear and open communication throughout the planning process and were able to make suggestions as needed to advance my vision. The week of the wedding I was in contact with Morgan who would be our official day of coordinator. Morgan ended up saving the day when our bartender cancelled on us last minute; she stepped in and bartended on top of coordinating. Then she was able to work with me to donate our flowers to a women’s shelter; a cause that hits close to home for me. I cannot recommend Avenue Design Studio enough!!

J M Event Co. are truly the best duo! Mkayla and Jordan are absolute dolls—so organized, on time, and incredibly prepared. They catered to every detail of the wedding day, which allowed my husband and me to be fully creative with our photo and video work. Having wedding planners is key to a smooth day, but having great wedding planners like J M Event Co. is the best thing you can do to truly enjoy your day! We absolutely hope to work with them again soon.

Brittany has been amazing throughout the entire process of working on our Vow Renewal invites. I had several new items pop up, unexpectedly, and she went right with it and offered her best advice. She was right there with us every step of the way and was super helpful in helping us choose items that would look the very best keep us in line with our overall design. I'd recommend her to everyone use her again in a heartbeat!!

Amani Affairs was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first call, their communication style was prompt, kind, and deeply understanding of our vision. The quality of their work was nothing short of delicate, tasteful, and elegant. We had a 3-day wedding affair with 3 different parties and DJs, and Jihan was so patient and supportive through even the smallest details. Our wedding was truly beautiful - we had over 100 guests and were blown away by the food, decor, space, music, and even the thoughtful signage and design. Amani Affairs exceeded our expectations in every way and made our special day an absolute joy. We couldn't recommend them more highly!

Sara was amazing for my wedding! We had a fun theme that many vendors didn't even want to work with, but Sara was there for it! Our wedding had a dress code of footie-pajamas and a really casual, fun setting. Picture lights out with glow stick centerpieces with board games on each table and colorful party lights while everyone is wearing different footies. So much fun! Sara even showed up in her footie pajamas and didn't kill me when I told her I wanted to pop confetti for our last song of the night.
