A look into my life:
I’m originally from Royal Oak and now call Coopersville, Michigan home! Fire up Chips! I graduated from Central Michigan University with my undergrad/master’s degrees. My husband and I met working at a summer camp together and even got married at the same camp! We have 2 amazing kids and 2 fluffy huskies that love to keep us laughing and on our toes!
I’ve been in the event planning industry for over a decade now with various experience in catering, rentals, marketing and transportation! I have always had a love and deep passion for programming, logistics and design! It’s what really makes me tick!
Owner and Lead Planner
My go-to emergency kit item
100lb-strength fishing line! This bad lad comes out just about every wedding to do some “invisible” heavy lifting.
wedding day favorite
My favorite part of the wedding day: Sending couples down the aisle to say their “I do’s.” It’s pure magic!
Must-have on the wedding day
I have a weird wedding superstition where I have to have a Coke en route to weddings. But hey, it’s a thing now!
When I’m not wedding planning
I love being outside with my family, walking the dogs or horseback riding! Indoors you can catch me re-watching Harry Potter or something dark and moody on Netflix.

A look into my life:
Born and raised in Jackson, wife and mother of 5 and a dog mom of 3 chihuahuas and the best lab ever! One of my daughters is recently engaged (hello overbearing, over-planning mother of the bride!) I’m also a scheduling coordinator for the busiest orthopedic surgeon in town, it's basically a huge puzzle of people. It's a challenge that I truly enjoy.
In the past, I have run and assisted with the successful planning and execution of large tournaments and community events. I am a people person through and through. I love seeing the big picture and bringing all of the corresponding logistics together.
Lead Planner
My go-to emergency kit item
Super glue, someone is always likely to break a heel or have a potential fashion malfunction.
wedding day favorite
It's a toss up between the first look & watching the couple react as the other walks down the aisle. I love witnessing the raw emotion of those moments.
Must-have on the wedding day
Change of shoes!
When I’m not wedding planning
When I’m not wedding planning: You can find me relaxing at home with my family & dogs, playing in the garden, or drinking a good cup of coffee with a girlfriend.

A look into my life:
I was born and raised in the bustling city of Royal Oak, but now have buried my roots in small town Coopersville - just a half hour from beautiful Lake Michigan, where I would spend my summers growing up. I graduated from Central Michigan University, where I met my now husband, Joel - Fire Up Chips! We have two little kiddos, Mason & Nora, who make us laugh and melt our hearts. I can’t forget about our first addition to the family, our fluffy pup, Porter. He is the sweetest Bernese Mountain dog you’ll ever meet.
When I’m not assisting or planning weddings, I’m working my full time gig with a local non-profit, as their Advancement Coordinator. I plan fundraising events, such as our annual golf outing, anniversary dinner gala, as well as other gatherings to help spread the word of the great work our organization does. I love being able to see how these events impact the community and those who we serve.
EVENT ASSISTANT
My go-to emergency kit item
A lighter and an extra lighter. You never know when a draft will catch a flame and blow it out. Candles create such a beautiful ambiance to a space.
wedding day favorite
My favorite part of the wedding day: When a couple does their first look. Hands down!
Must-have on the wedding day
Dress or pants with POCKETS! It’s a must in my book.
When I’m not wedding planning
You can find me spending time with my family outside or snuggling up on the couch.

A look into my life:
I grew up in a small beach town in Southwest MI called St Joseph. I graduated from Central Michigan University with both my Undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Music Education. The teaching profession led me to Phoenix, AZ where I lived for 5 years. It was in Phoenix I met my husband and convinced him that living with snow isn't really that bad. We now live once again in a small beach town in MI, Grand Haven, and have 2 fur babies, Mr. Webster Wiggles, our 10 year old Jack Russel and Saguaro, our 4 year old cat.
I have been working directly with Pineapple Punch for the last 2 years. However, the event planning industry has been a familiar part of my life for many years. I have had experience organizing and planning events for my schools, performing at events and have had a front row seat to many weddings as a Bridesmaid! (I've been a bridesmaid 31 times) I truly love the process of taking a blank slate the day of the event and assisting in providing the magic to create the perfect day!
EVENT ASSISTANT
My go-to emergency kit item
Mini Sewing Kit! You never know when a button will pop off or a dress might need a quick alteration.
wedding day favorite
My favorite part of the wedding day: I love watching the faces of the couples when they are finally pronounced as married. I loved seeing the couples reaction in the moment: priceless.
Must-have on the wedding day
Coffee! That magical bean water elixir is what keeps me moving and dancing all night long.
When I’m not wedding planning
I love spending time with my family and friends, performing in a concert,traveling/exploring new places, or running. I recently completed my 11th Half Marathon. However most days you will find me at my school teaching the love of music to future generations.
