I’m a big believer in living in the moment, & quality time is my love language. I love insightfully creating a wedding design that speaks to a couple’s personalities, treasured guests, & love story. Love is the most magical force I know, & celebrating it is my great joy & privilege.

With over a decade in hospitality & eight years in Charlottesville weddings, I bring creative design, high touch event production, & a touchstone sense of calm to your planning journey & celebration.

Mia was the best decision we made

Hiring Mia was the best decision we made during wedding planning! Mia was with us from the beginning, listening to our vision and helping us find vendors who would perfectly execute our dream wedding. She answered any questions that we had throughout the process with grace and kindness and kept us focused on the tasks at hand. When it came to the wedding day, she truly had everything under control so that we, as well as our family and friends, could focus on each other and the day.

She somehow made it feel as if we were her only clients

Mia was seamlessly organized, deeply kind, and highly professional through the entire process. She started every meeting genuinely asking how we were in not only our wedding planning lives, but also just in our day to day. She truly wanted to get to know US and from that blossomed a beautiful relationship that didn’t feel contractual or forced at all. She somehow made it feel as if we were the only couple she was working with and like we were a top top top priority for her! Plus, her design suggestions are impeccable! She has taste and an eye for all things beautiful!

We saw her calm confidence & skill throughout the planning process

Mia's hard work and kind personality mean that she has an amazing reputation with local vendors. Having that history of trust and good will as the basis for our relationship with the vendors meant we got to work with the very best local vendors who were excited to be a part of the team. One of the best parts of working with Mia is her intentionality in creating moments throughout the day where you and your partner get to soak in the moment and be present. We had seen her calm confidence and skill throughout the planning process, and so had the trust established to simply be able to relax, enjoy the moment, and take it all in when the day came. And isn't that what it's all about?

-Hannah & Jeremy, married May 2025

Mia truly cares so deeply

Leading up to the wedding, Mia helped calm any nerves my husband and I had about how the day would be executed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and carries herself with confidence; from our first conversation, I knew we'd be in good hands with her on our side! On the wedding day, she had an incredible team that was truly on top of everything (and even ready with replacement rings when the best man thought he had lost the real rings!) and I can only imagine all the work they did behind the scenes that we didn't see. Mia truly cares so deeply for her clients and it shows!

...so thankful for the team's hard work

We booked event management with Mia & her team, and we are so happy we did. They asked thoughtful questions and got us thinking of details we hadn’t thought of. They also had a great relationship with our vendors in the Charlottesville area which was a massive plus! We are so thankful for LAE’s hard work to make our special day perfect.

-Katie & Reid, married December 2022

She understood my vision

LAE was the best thing to happen to me during planning season. After our first meeting my husband and I felt relaxed, happy, and taken care of. I truly let it all go come wedding day because I knew Mia and her team had it under control. She understood my vision and knew what was important to us.

-Tucker & Billy, married June 2023

Our families & wedding party raved about the LAE team!

From our first conversation with Mia, we knew she was the wedding planner for us! Not only is Mia a wonderful person, but she is an exceptional wedding planner. As new Charlottesville residents, she guided us through the wedding planning process, and recommended a fantastic team of vendors. She always made time to answer my many, many questions, and helped us to create a wedding day that felt like us. On our wedding day, we were blown away by both Mia and Kinsey. Their expertise and attention to detail put us at ease, and thanks to all of their hard work, absolutely everything went according to plan. Our families and wedding party raved about the LAE team!
