Hey There

MIDWEST WEDDING PLANNER + COORDINATOR

My clients often remark on how much of a friend and confidante I’ve ended up becoming to them – I'm like the pushy but fun sister they never had.

I also know exactly how it feels to plan a wedding in *this economy*-- I've got your back, don't worry.

i tend to be selective and careful about who I take on. I love working with my couples every step of the way, and it is important that we go into the planning process with trust, respect and a whole lot of laughing.

CONNECT WITH ME

I'm Alex

Oldest of 6, AVID ADVENTURER,
DOG MOM, REALITY TV FANATIC + LEAD PLANNER OF REDWOOD WEDDINGS.

here's a little bit about me

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR PLANNING. GROWING UP, I USED TO TAKE CLIPPINGS OUT OF BRIDAL MAGAZINES AND PIN THEM UP ON MY WALLS AND CEILING. I WOULD FORCE MY FRIENDS TO "PLAY" MARRIAGE OR HOUSE SO I COULD PLAY OUT MY WEDDING DAYDREAMS- IRL. I EVEN CREATED A PINTEREST BOARD IN MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH PINS OF MY FUTURE WEDDING DREAMS (WHICH I WILL ADD ARE TOTALLY CRINGE NOW).

MOST OF MY LIFE I WORKED IN THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY BEFORE SPENDING TIME IN NAPA CALIFORNIA WITH FAMILY. THIS IS WHERE I WORKED FOR A VENUE AND REDISCOVERED MY LOVE FOR WEDDINGS. UPON MOVING BACK TO WISCONSIN, I DABBLED IN PHOTOGRAPHY BUT KNEW THAT MY INTENSE ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS AND DESIRE TO LEAD AND TROUBLESHOOT ISSUES BELONGED IN THE PLANNING + COORDINATION FIELD.

NOTES FROM DEAR CLIENTS

love

Alex was so thorough and extremely communicative throughout the whole process. She had so many resources available for me and was so organized! She placed all of our decor and it was even better than what I could have imagined. We didn't have to worry about all the little details. It was truly a pleasure to have her coordinate our wedding. If you book with her, you will not regret it!
