Well, I love any kind of party, really, but weddings are the best kind. Weddings are where you can really set your mind free to imagine all the beautiful scenes and spaces and food and vibes you saw in all the Insta reels and all the airport  magazines (including, of course, the subscription to Martha Stewart Living from way back when). In weddings, you can make your own beautiful, emotional, ephemeral world come to life for a brief time. I love seeing guests' reactions at my parties - the ooos! and the wows! when they notice the attention to detail. They know it’s something special; they can feel it. That’s what I want to help create for you.

I live in Kensington, MD with my husband and foster cats where I’m slowly transitioning my garden from boring landscape plants to interesting natives, embracing the natural beauty that inspires much of my work at Mayapple Weddings. Until recently, I worked for USAID and Peace Corps; international development was my world. Now my world is focused on beauty, nature, and the art of gathering through Mayapple Weddings.
