Hello, beautiful souls! I want to share my thoughts on why finding the right wedding planner is not just important, it’s essential. Imagine planning your wedding like building a deep friendship; it's about "vibe checks," emotional alignment, and creating a celebration that is truly reflective of who you both are.


The Vibe Check: More Than Just Logistics


Our first consultation is more than just setting a date. It's our opportunity for a "vibe check." This initial meeting helps us determine if we are a match made for your wedding day, and yes, you should absolutely want your planner to be at your wedding, cheering you on! This connection makes the planning process collaborative, comfortable, and centered around trust. When we align on a personal level, planning transitions from a task list to a shared journey.

Authentic Connection and Emotional Alignment


When looking for a planner, emotional alignment is the cornerstone. As your partner in planning, I aim to embody your aspirations and respect your special traditions. This ensures that we craft a day that’s the truest version of you both. I'm here to help manage emotions, offer reassurances, and celebrate alongside you. Throughout every step from choosing vendors that share your values to handling those unexpected hiccups, emotional compatibility sets the tone for a stress-free experience.


What Makes the Most Sense for You? Full-Service vs. Partial Planning


Clarity in my offerings also plays a key role. With partial planning, couples are more hands-on with vendor communications. Whereas, with full-service planning, everything is orchestrated by me, from your first planning notes to the last dance. Knowing what level of service you require amplifies our connectivity and lets us focus on priority areas that matter most to you.

Testimonials from Past Clients


"Hiring Bria was the best decision we made while wedding planning. She is professional, organized, efficient, punctual, pays great attention to detail, has great energy and on top of all of that she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met."


​"Tabria was incredibly organized, efficient and helpful in so many aspects of our day. Looking back there was honestly no way we could have done it without her. Our friends and family were raving about how fantastic she was too!"


​"As someone who has worked in the Portland wedding industry as a planner, I was extremely picky about finding a coordinator who could deliver the type of wedding I would plan myself. When my husband and I connected with Tabria, we were beyond excited—and for good reason.


Tabria has a calm, reassuring approach and a deep understanding of even the most Type A bride (like me!). She took on tasks effortlessly, often anticipating what needed to be done without any additional instruction. Her stellar design eye brought my vision to life, and she helped me refine and execute it beautifully." -2024 Bride

 

"Tabria is incredibly communicative and willing to jump in where other coordinators might hesitate. For instance, I needed my cocktail area transformed into a dance floor, and she seamlessly stepped in to assist the venue staff without hesitation. She built an amazing timeline that created the perfect event flow and was truly present for my husband and me, not only on the wedding day but also in the days leading up. Tabria, you’re an exceptionally talented planner who pours so much love into the wedding process. Any couple lucky enough to work with you is in the best hands!" -2024 Bride


"The only regret you will have is NOT hiring Tabria. I can’t recommend her enough." -2025 Bride
