Wedding and event planning for central Virginia

Meet Mia

Wedding planner, creative designer, lover of the finer things & curator of core memories

Your homesteading, earth loving, people-driven luxury wedding planner for wedding planning & experiences that are rooted in curating core memories. Wedding design & even wedding day timelines can & should be unique. Quality time is my love language & bespoke, true-to-you wedding design, along with timelines that prioritize guest experience & yours, is my love letter to the world. Making the world a more joyful, loving place by celebrating all Love in such abundance.

I live happily ever after on a sweet little Charlottesville homestead with my husband, three daughters, & a growing list of animals. I love a good book, game nights (I'm super competitive, don't cross me in Catan!), & cooking adventurous meals at home. When I'm not planning & producing weddings, I am homeschooling with my girls, baking with my girls (do we see a theme here?), hiking with my family, or gardening & reveling in the joy of so much vibrant life.

You’re Looking For A Wedding Planner

Who believes we can make the world a better place by cultivating love & joy

While designing a celebration that is true to your love story

Let’s dream together.

Mia's Approach

Process

intentional & personal

Your engagement should feel fun, like one long & exciting date! Of course, there's a LOT to do to get you to your wedding celebration, so we work in an intentional planning process that allows us to streamline the to-do's so you can lean into the joy. I give my clients the gift of living into your wedding day, cultivating moments you'll remember forever.

Design

thoughtful & bespoke

Your wedding design is an opportunity to tell your love story through visual elements & experiences, & it should feel unique to you. I love finding ways to fold personal touches seamlessly into a wedding design, so that each of our weddings are curated to our individual couples.

Guest Experience

joyful & unique

From the moment your guests receive their save the dates, to the moment they enter your reception space, to the end of the night, we want your loved ones to experience a showstopper from start to finish. This means thoughtful details & flawless timelines. Charlottesville is an incredible place to welcome guests to join for a weekend of excursions where quality time is paramount.

Curating core memories

We booked a partial planning package with LAE and Mia was amazing at delegating fun tasks to us while taking care of business that was challenging for us from abroad. We had a small 40 person wedding on a lake in Virginia, and she curated such an amazing day that totally aligned with our vision.

...like working with a best friend!

Working with Mia honestly felt like working with a best friend! She was so easy to talk to and made you feel at ease from the start. She has the tools and connections to help plan the smallest of details, but also allows you to visualize what your day will look like and knows just the person for even the most unique requests.

Mia was an absolute gem to work with...

Mia was an absolute gem to work with through my daughter’s wedding planning and when their special day was here. I also just loved her wedding apron that she wore with all her little tools and miscellaneous needs for those last minute things you may need, have forgotten (and we did)... she was EXCEPTIONAL!

We are so thankful for Mia’s hard work to make our special day perfect.

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

Mia was phenomenal from start to finish!

Mia was phenomenal from start to finish! We just instantly clicked. She was so helpful the day of and weeks before our wedding. She called and verified all of our vendors, made an awesome day of timeline, came to our rehearsal and kept us fed, hydrated and on task the day of the wedding. She made great recommendations and truly just exceeded our expectations. She was such a stress-relief!

Mia did an absolutely phenomenal job.

Mia did an absolutely phenomenal job. Through the process of planning and replanning our COVID-era wedding, she was endlessly thoughtful, kind, and well-organized. In addition to helping us navigate needed changes, she also contributed so many great ideas for how to create fun special moments while keeping our outdoor socially-distanced celebration as safe as possible for our guests.

Campbell & David, married September 2020

...she made sure we were relieved of the stress surrounding the little details

Mia was the driving force in making our wedding run smoothly and ensuring that it was an event we would cherish for the rest of our lives. Starting with our first conversation, she made sure we were relieved of the stress surrounding all of the little details that are so easy to become overwhelmed by. Her personable and detailed oriented nature made it so easy to entrust her with anything we needed prior to and on the day of the wedding.

Tyler & Abby, married August 2019

I cannot say enough positive things about Mia.

I cannot say enough positive things about Mia. She has a way of calming you down and making everything seem like it’s going to work out perfectly. As rain decided to descend on our entirely outdoor wedding, she helped to orchestrate a move under the tent that left us with just as beautiful of a day as I could have ever hoped for.

Katie & Cam, married September 2022
