Congratulations on your engagement! As a Long Island wedding planner, there’s a growing “trend” of turning wedding days into wedding weekends and I personally couldn’t be more thrilled. A wedding weekend is like a mini-vacation for you and your beloved guests. It's an opportunity to incorporate all the traditional wedding day elements - and then some! There truly is nothing better than a welcome dinner on Friday, having your ceremony on the Saturday, and then inviting guests to join you on Sunday for a Sunday brunch or fun excursion. If you’ve been consider planning a wedding weekend on Long Island, you’re in the right place!

In my 15 years as a wedding and event planner, I've seen some truly beautiful love stories, and Katherine and Jimmy's wedding is right at the top of that list. With a garden-inspired theme, their celebration was nothing short of extraordinary. As Brown University graduates, they both love traveling, pickleball, and the arts. Their wedding, inspired by Katherine's stunning floral dress, was an unforgettable event that beautifully mirrored their passions for music, adventure, and delicious food. I can’t wait to share all the gorgeous garden-inspired inspiration here on the blog today.

Congratulations on your engagement! Now that the initial excitement has settled, it's time to embark on the beautiful journey of planning your special day. Planning a wedding may seem like a daunting task, but finding the perfect wedding planner can truly make a difference. Selecting a wedding planner is an exciting process where you get to have meaningful conversations with potential planners, ensuring they understand your vision for the dream wedding.
