About
Founder and lead planner of Golden Hour Weddings & Events, planning from Charlotte and travelling for the celebrations worth travelling for.
I'm a wedding planner and event designer based in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a quiet obsession for turning ordinary moments into something unforgettable. Organization, creativity, and a steady hand under pressure, that's what I bring to every celebration, from the first consultation to the final send-off.
Whether it's a timeless wedding, an elegant celebration, or a milestone worth marking, I bring my clients' visions to life with a balance of beauty, precision, and intention. My goal is a planning process that feels calm and genuinely enjoyable, so you can be fully present for the moments that matter most.
What every couple gets from me is the same: the phone answered when it rings, a plan detailed enough that nothing about the day ever feels rushed, and a planner who knows your wedding well enough to catch what you'd never think to ask about.

Our approach
“From weddings to milestones, every detail is handled start to finish, budgets, vendors, design, logistics, and the day itself. Grand or intimate, the work is the same: calm, creative, and executed beautifully.”
Sydney Shepherd, Founder
The Experience
From the first conversation to the last dance, four steps carry the entire journey, designed so the planning is as memorable as the day.
01
Understanding your vision
We begin by listening, to the ideas, the half-formed hopes, the details you can't stop thinking about, until we've captured the essence of the day.
02
Designing your day
Every element is considered and sequenced, venue, vendors, palette, décor, timeline, until the whole thing moves as one seamless piece.
03
Bringing dreams to life
On the day, we hold everything, vendors, timing, the small emergencies you'll never hear about, so you can simply be there for it.
04
Every step of the way
Before, during, and long after, final payments, rental returns, lingering questions. The relationship doesn't end at the send-off.
