What makes Wedicity stand out from other wedding planning companies?

We are a small team that is dedicated to each couple; taking on a limited number of weddings per year so we can focus on giving each couple the attention they deserve through listening to the things that excite them and the other things that keep them up at night. Taking all of what they share, what we know and mix that into a thoughtful planning process designed around them. Our team is hands-on with every aspect of the process to give couples the opportunity to enjoy the planning process without the stress of the details.

We pride ourselves on being collaborative when working with vendor partners to make sure we are getting the very best out of all of our creative partnerships and solutions that are unique to each couple's vision.

What is two pieces of advice can you give to newly engaged couples?

Advice #1 Sometimes we can get caught up in "what's supposed to happen" or tradition or doing something because everyone else is. I would love for couples to not be afraid to draw outside the lines. Infuse your own personalities into your event and do not feel obligated to do anything unless you want to!

Advice #2: TRUST! Lean in on your creative partners and trust them and the process! If you've taken time to vet the right planner, they will lead you to the right creative partners that align with your vision and investment level. Once you've hired the right team, know that they will advocate for you, work for you and bring you their best when you TRUST them.

What do you do that is signature to your brand?

It's called The Wedicity Experience for a reason! We have a very thoughtful process of pre-planning to bring our couples a little something extra! The highlight of this may be our design process. The wedding design process is very comprehensive so the couple can really start to see and feel the full wedding weekend coming together both logistically and visually.

Do you have any favorite wedding day moments?

For me personally, I feed off the energy of the couple. so, in short, what they get excited about - I get excited about! If they are jazzed about their first dance that is a song mix that they have been practicing for months - I'm going to be giddy watching them from the sidelines as I cue up the entertainment and give them the "go!" signal. But if they are dreaming about a floral fairytale under the stars, you better believe that the room reveal will have my stomach in butterflies just as much as theirs! My favorite moments are the ones that they have been talking about for months and are looking forward to.

However, my most favorite moments are those small micro-moments... The ones that are in the in-between. The ones left up to the unplanned parts of the day when the couple shares genuine moments with each other, their wedding party or family; whether it's a shared whisper at the sweetheart table or a full-on dance party on the dance floor with grandma. The ones where we can see them in absolute joy and being present in the moment...Those are the moments that I celebrate and are a sign of our work well done.
