From Friends to Founders: How Brittany & I Are Building Our Wedding Planning Business

Starting a business with your best friend is equal parts exciting, terrifying, and incredibly rewarding and that’s exactly where Brittney and I find ourselves right now.

This blog is the beginning of our journey into the wedding world, sharing how our experiences, creativity, and love for celebrations have naturally grown into a wedding planning business we’re so proud to be building together.


How It All Started

Weddings have always been part of our lives in different ways. Brittany is a photographer with an incredible eye for emotion, detail, and storytelling. She has spent years capturing love stories through her lens, understanding what moments matter most and how quickly a wedding day flies by.

I, on the other hand, have spent years bartending events such as weddings, receptions, and celebrations of all kinds. Working behind the scenes taught me how events really function: timelines, flow, guest experience, and how the smallest details can make or break the night.

What we didn’t realize at first was how perfectly these two worlds fit together.


The Wedding That Changed Everything

Everything truly clicked when we helped set up and decorate our friend Karly’s wedding. From brainstorming decor ideas to setting up the space and making sure the day ran smoothly, we were hands-on every step of the way.

Seeing the vision come together and watching Karly enjoy her day without stress lit a spark for both of us.

Not long after, we also helped decorate her brother-in-law’s wedding. Once again, we found ourselves naturally stepping into roles that felt effortless: organizing details, problem-solving on the fly, coordinating vendors, and creating a space that felt personal and meaningful.

That’s when we realized this wasn’t just something we were helping with, this was something we were meant to do.

Why We Work So Well Together

Brittany brings the creative vision and the photographer’s perspective she knows how to design moments that look beautiful and feel authentic. I bring the logistical side, hospitality experience, and calm under pressure energy that comes from years of working live events.

Together, we balance creativity with structure, aesthetics with practicality, and excitement with organization.

Most importantly, we genuinely care. We treat every wedding like it’s for a close friend because that’s how this all began.


What We Believe In

Our goal is simple:

  • Stress-free planning
  • Thoughtful, personal details
  • Beautiful experiences for couples and their guests

We believe weddings should feel like you—not like a copy of someone else’s day. Whether you need full planning, day-of coordination, or help bringing your vision to life, we’re here to support you every step of the way.


What’s Next

This blog will be a place where we share our journey, planning tips, behind the scenes moments, real weddings, and everything we’re learning along the way as we grow our business.

We’re so excited for what’s ahead and so grateful for the friends and couples who trusted us before we even realized this was our calling.

If you’re planning a wedding or just love all things celebrations, we’re so glad you’re here.

— Brittany & Jessica
