DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™
Before we dive into what DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™ is all about, let's talk about who it's really for...
“It’s either you pay thousands of dollars for a planner OR you just have to do it on your own and take a leap in the dark. This is that perfect little thing in the middle.”
Jenny (DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™ Bride)
If you...
know a thing or two about being smart and savvy when it comes to sticking to your wedding budget.
are an "I can totally figure that out!" kind of bride who is doing most of the heavy lifting when it comes to wedding planning.
know planning your wedding is FAR from the only thing on your plate. Be it college, kids or (and?) a full time job - you’re deep in the throes of navigating through the overwhelm and chaos of pulling together THE biggest celebration of your life while also juggling 100 other daily responsibilities.
then, go ahead and do a little happy dance, because this is 100% where you belong!
“I'm so happy I purchased this program!!! It has made bringing together all of the planning seamless, simple, and fun! Thank you so much!”
By the end of this program, you'll have ...
Developed clear, realistic expectations that perfectly blend together your dream wedding desires with wedding industry standards. There will be no day-of “oops, didn’t know that, now it’s too late” surprises for you.
Found a quick and easy way back to making your engagement experience fun and exciting again with just a simple shift in mindset.
Learned the number one mistake people make when self-planning their wedding and the crazy-pants-awesome-with-sprinkles-on-top simple way to avoid it (psst ... this 3-minute activity will literally change EV.ER.Y.thing!)
Discovered new ways to identify where you need help and how to ask for it in such a way where your friends and family feel included and useful (not used - ick!)
“This program pointed out things that I hadn't thought of - even being in the industry - and gave me the tools to be more organized in general. I love the focus on delegating and making sure the bride and groom are not the point person on the wedding day.”
And ...
Tapped into all the secrets of a stress-free wedding ensuring you don’t work one, signal, solitary minute on your wedding day. It’s all pampering, bubbly and starry-eyes for this bride.
Implemented the proven 4-step system to planning with E.A.S.E setting yourself up to enjoy not only the wedding day, but the entire wedding weekend, wedding week, and even wedding month.

Your wedding day team will know where to go, who to go to (hint: not you!), what to do, when to do it by, and more (oh so much more … can you feel the excitement yet?!)
“Getting all the information all in one place was so helpful, not just for us but for everyone helping us on our wedding day. I love that there was a conscious inclusion for same-sex couples - I didn’t feel out of place. When we looked for wedding vendors, there were some that weren’t interested in working with us. It was great to feel like it didn’t matter.”

Still thinking about it?
Giving DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™ a 14-day risk-free shot is the PERFECT decision if any of the following rings true for you...
You’re already investing hours and hours each week planning your wedding. At best, it seems inefficient. And worst, some days it just feels like you’re going in circles.
You’re ready to have affordable, professional support and insight to help you really maximize your time so you can get more done, more easily and way faster!
You want all your hours and hours upon days and days of planning - not to mention all the stress and tears of frustration that have come along with the territory so far - to allow you the freedom to actually enjoy your wedding day.
Maybe you’re not yet convinced you can have a stress-free wedding week and even wedding month, too (don’t worry, I’ll show you exactly how to make this all happen shortly after joining), but you KNOW you are worthy and deserving of an incredible, magical, stress-free wedding day. Just ONE day is all you’re asking for here. All this has to be for something, right?
You are just starting to enter into the midway-mayhem of wedding planning, maybe you have one foot still in engagement euphoria but you know it’s coming to an end sooner than later. Ideally, you’d like to avoid the messy middle, headache-laden, palpitation-inducing part of wedding planning entirely if at all possible. (Good news! If this is you, you’ve found your way right to where you are meant to be at just the right time.)
You’re ready to claim back your time, your joy, your excitement. Like, now. RIGHT now. You’re done with the stress and overwhelm, the chaos and clutter. This isn’t how you envisioned your engagement going and you’re ready to rid yourself of this feeling once and for all so you can sit back with newly found peace of mind, calm and clarity to achieve the engagement and wedding of your dreams!
“Every single detail was ironed out. This basically took a year of my DIY projects, planning and stressing and made it all come together to create my dream wedding.”
I can’t wait for you to join DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™!
I want you to have the wedding of your dreams within a budget you can afford.
There is a special place in my heart for creative, DIY brides working their tails off to plan, design and decorate the perfect wedding day, all (or mostly) on their own. Very few people can do what you’re doing. You are creative in all the ways - with your decor, your spending, your thrifting and your ingenuity.
Simply stated: you are absolutely incredible.
Here’s something I feel would be helpful for you to know about me, the person you’ll be spending time with throughout this program: I went into business for DIY brides specifically. I didn’t just happen upon a few DIY weddings here and there. They don’t just make up less than 1% of the weddings I’ve designed and planned as they do for most other planners.
DIY weddings are the majority of my extensive background in weddings and events. All the services I created when I owned my on-location business were designed with DIY brides in mind. Day-of setup and breakdown services, DIY support and craft parties, affordable a la carte day-of wedding planning … and now, DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™.
There is not a program out there like this one. And if there is, and I just haven’t found it yet, I can nearly guarantee it does not come from someone who has been so passionate about serving DIY brides for so many years.
I know your heart and your fears, what brings you joy and what causes you angst. I know how a glue gun in your hand is your happy place and how you are always looking to make the things everyone else just goes out and buys. That you don’t just do it because it can save money (you and I both know this is laughable ... on more than one (or 100) occasions it has cost me far more to make-the-thing than to just buy-the-thing).
For you, it’s the joy in learning a new skill or tool, the feeling of accomplishment and pride in seeing what you were able to create, the memory it unlocks years in the future as you hold the embodiment of your own unique creativity, ingenuity, (and often blood, sweat, burns and tears) in your hands...
I want your wedding day to elicit these same emotions. Your creativity should be nurtured, embraced, and celebrated. And all those other things you know nothing or care nothing about, well, that’s where I can help.
I was a DIY bride and I have purposely surrounded myself with the creative, inspiring energy of DIY brides for most of my career.
You deserve to have the wedding of your dreams. You are worthy of a beautiful celebration of love, one free of worry and stress. One you can actually enjoy, filled with laughter and friendship, giddiness and pure happiness … and nothing less.
I want you to be confident in this investment. I want you to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is just what you need. You owe it to yourself, your partner, and your future together to take this risk-free leap and experience firsthand the calm, clarity, and confidence that’s possible and waiting for you on the other side.
Should you choose to accept my heartfelt invitation, I personally guarantee that what you will learn and implement throughout DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™ will be completely and utterly life changing for you and the future you are creating together with your partner.
I look forward to meeting you personally inside DIY Wedding Planning Made Easy™.
ALL my best.
