Rebecca & Cody Pear Tree Estate Wedding

Rebecca and Cody came to me before they had even started planning. They knew they needed help and guidance but weren’t sure how much. They definitely wanted help staying on track otherwise they knew they’d fall behind. They landed on the “Mid-Size” planning package and chose florist, photographer, and videographer as their three vendors I would help with.

Rebecca is definitely the most proactive bride I’ve had to date! Her and I worked through her planning checklist and she was always looking at the next month and crossing those items off the list. It was awesome!

When they landed on Pear Tree Estate as their venue for both ceremony and reception I knew they were in for a major treat. Always love working with PTE as they are so service oriented and exist to help clients too. They are not just a pretty venue- they go above and beyond!

During our planning together, Cody & Rebecca’s son was born and he is the most darling boy. He was of course involved in their wedding day and I couldn’t believe how perfect he was the entire time. I never heard him fussing- total champ.
