With that comes anticipation. Expectation. And if we're honest, overwhelm.
The Truth About Wedding Planning
As Seen in
The ceremony gets deprioritized. Not because couples don't care, but because it seems straightforward. Show up, say the words, done.
But when you approach wedding ceremony design with intention, when you make space to personalize your vows, invite joy, choose rituals that mean something, craft language that's truly yours, everything shifts.
That intentionality carries into the rest of the day. It's in the warmth at cocktail hour, the energy on the dance floor, the tears during toasts.
Your ceremony isn't just the beginning of your wedding. It's what makes the whole celebration feel like you.
Here's what I've learned planning weddings for a decade:
Here's the truth: Planning a wedding can be all-consuming. Logistics take over. And the ceremony(the most important part) becomes something you assume will just work itself out.
It won't. Not the way you're hoping.
That's why I created this step-by-step course on intentional wedding ceremony creation.
- Do you know how to break from tradition in a way that honors your family and still feels true to you?
- Have you written vows before? Do you know what makes them meaningful versus generic?
- Can you confidently say you and your partner have talked through the big questions that surface in marriage?
FAIR QUESTION. LET ME ASK YOU A FEW IN RETURN.
This sounds simple. Why do I need a workshop?

Lo was truly one of the best decisions we made during our planning process. Originally skeptical, I can tell you all of our guests commented on how the whole evening truly reflected "us" as a couple, and this was all thanks to Lo.

I'll teach you how to write vows that feel personal, not performative. Even if you don't share them publicly, the process of writing to each other is part of emotional wedding preparation.
We'll also design the full ceremony structure, from readings to intentional wedding rituals that reflect your values and story.
Making Meaning
You'll learn how to make tradition your own. I'll guide you through decisions about who participates, what moments matter most, and how to navigate family expectations with clarity and care. This is ceremony design for couples who want agency over their experience.
Concious Connections
Your ceremony should look and feel like you. I'll share principles for creating atmosphere: how to design your aisle, choose meaningful décor, and tell your story visually in a way that grounds the whole celebration.
Sensory Storytelling
The photos are what last. I'm including my e-book *Is A First Look Right For You?* to help you think through photography choices that align with how you want to experience your day.
Bonus
What's included?
- You've asked yourself, "How do we make a wedding ceremony feel like *us* and not just a script someone else wrote?"
- You value connection and want your celebration to honor the people who've shaped your lives.
- You see marriage as a true partnership, and you want your ceremony to reflect that.
- Tradition matters to you, but you're not interested in following it just because it's expected.
This is right for you if:
You can do this (I promise!) Even if you’re thinking…
That's wonderful. But your friend hasn't married *you* before. And they haven't written vows to your partner. There's no substitute for the intention you bring to your own ceremony. This course helps you shape that intention into something real.
Our friend is officiating. They've done this before. We're covered.
Here's the hard truth: you'll never get this time back. The tools in this course don't just help you plan a ceremony, they give you a foundation for your marriage. This *is* focusing on your relationship. And it's worth doing now.
We'll focus on our relationship after the wedding. There's too much happening right now.
I get it. That's exactly why I built this. Everything you need is here—vow templates, ceremony outlines, reading selections. No Googling. No piecing it together from ten different blogs. Just a clear, complete guide.
I've already spent so much time planning. I can't add one more thing.

Where do I even start….. When I got engaged the thought of planning a wedding was an extremely daunting task. I lost my mom 5 years ago and as the only girl in the family, I couldn’t imagine being able to pull it off. I was introduced to Lo through a good friend and it after my first phone call with her, I was confident she was a great match.
Lo took time to understand the style wedding I was looking for which extremely non-traditional. Leave it to Lo to pull all of that together into a classy, extravagant affair that I am positive none of my guests will ever forget. And the best part? I was never stressed once. Not once.

Even more so. I love the tradition of ceremony in a house of worship, but many couples aren't given all the options available to them. This course walks you through how to honor tradition while creating a meaningful wedding ceremony that tells your story. Even if you're using traditional vows, there are powerful ways to personalize readings, rituals, and the flow of your ceremony.
Absolutely. Even if you don't speak personalized vows during the ceremony, I encourage you to write them and share privately. Putting your promises into words is a form of emotional wedding preparation. It deepens your connection and gives you clarity about what you're building together. I think of it as the ultimate love letter.
This isn't a list of ideas. It's a method. I've spent a decade helping couples design intentional wedding ceremonies, and I've combined that experience with training in Internal Family Systems Therapy. This course is tactical: giving you structure, templates, and clear guidance. It's ceremony coaching, not just information.
Answer
A decade ago, I left advertising to start a boutique event planning firm. After planning hundreds of weddings, I started noticing a pattern.
All the weddings were beautiful. But some felt different. Some had an energy I can only describe as magnetic.
I wanted to understand why.
The difference wasn't budget. It wasn't aesthetic. It was connection. The weddings that felt unforgettable were rooted in intentional wedding ceremonies: couples who took the time to design something meaningful instead of defaulting to tradition.
That insight changed everything. I've studied with Priya Parker, author of *The Art of Gathering*, and Richard C. Schwartz, creator of Internal Family Systems Therapy. I believe weddings designed with emotional preparation and care don't just create a beautiful day. They shift the foundation of a marriage.
In my wedding planning practice, I work with a handful of couples each year. I created this course to bring that same level of ceremony design to anyone ready to invest in what matters most.

You've felt that energy at a wedding where everything just works. The room is alive. Your face hurts from smiling. Everywhere you look, people you love are genuinely happy.
You want that for your celebration. And you should have it.
Here's what creates that feeling: an intentional wedding ceremony.
When you take the time to design your ceremony with care, when you write your own vows, choose rituals that mean something, make decisions from clarity instead of obligation, it changes everything.
Not just the ceremony itself. The entire day.
Let's come back to why you're here.
Because your ceremony is where the energy starts. It's where your guests understand what they're celebrating. It's where you and your partner step fully into your marriage.
You have a choice right now.
You can let someone else write your script. You can show up and say the expected words.
Or you can create a meaningful wedding ceremony that reflects who you are and what you're building together.
The couples who choose the second path? Their weddings are the ones people never forget.
This is your invitation to join them.
