Yes. While we are based in Upstate New York, serving Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Troy, the Hudson Valley, and New York City - We frequently travel for destination celebrations.
Wherever your wedding takes place, our structured, design-led process travels with us.
Do you travel?

However, we’ve stepped in at many stages of planning. If you’re unsure, reach out. We’re happy to evaluate your timeline together.
When is the right time to book a planner?
We begin with a conversation to understand your vision, priorities, and level of support needed. From there, we create a customized proposal outlining how we can best serve your celebration.
Every proposal is tailored to your event’s scope and complexity.
