Hey! I'm Thomas

I believe that the perfect wedding day should be about you and yours. From a simple ceremony in the sand to an ornate celebration surrounded by everyone you know.

This day can really be whatever you make it!

So, what do you do when you aren't planning weddings?

As you can see above, I LOVE my Golden Retriever, Baxter. Naturally we spend A LOT of time at Coronado dog beach or with our weight vests rucking around town. I'm a member of Varsity Gay League Kickball, Baxter is the team mascot. 

I have a group of childhood besties that gets together once a week for The Bachelorette and family dinner. Thats one of the highlights of my week! 

All that aside, I love exploring my hometown and taking advantage of everything America's Finest City has to offer! 

How long have you been doing this? and how did you start?

Ive been coordinating for 6 years now and offering planning services for the past 4 years. I started with a wedding for a co-worker that led me into networking with vendors I had connected with, and snowballing referrals in from there.

What is your ideal couple like?

My ideal couple wants to have fun! They know how to make it about themselves and not necessarily "Bridal" or single-sided oriented. A marriage takes two people and your wedding day should be representative of both parties. My ideal couple has realistic expectations of what they can achieve and they value the hard work and efforts of those dedicated to helping and servicing them. 

Is a wedding day stressful?

MMMMMM.. this is a tough one. I don't anticipate a wedding day with stress or anxiety. Its more like "BIG GAME DAY" jitters if that makes sense. Through the planning process, I often develop a love and value for the couple I am working with and want their day to be as smooth as possible. To me, the hard work is in the pre-planning and logistics. The day-of is where we see all of the effort and love we have put into this day come to life.

What do you enjoy most about a wedding day?

seriously, where do I start? 

-I love an anxious groom that arrives, finds me and says " We're good right? everything is good? This looks GREAT" Then I pin a boutonnière on him and hand him a beer and tell him to relax.

-I love when couples have something vintage or hand-me-down from a parents or even grandparents wedding. Often a cake topper or serving set, those items are THE coolest thing to see!

-Toasts. This is where the good stuff comes in. You think you know someone and then their sibling, best friend or parent speaks and you get to know a WHOLE lot more about them.
