Perfectly Posh Events is an award-winning team of wedding planners and event designers based out of Seattle and Portland who are design savvy, detail oriented and passionate about planning. We love timeless styles with a fresh-twist, champagne + macarons, and creating distinctive celebrations that combine sophisticated designs with personalized details.
Why Choose Us?
We are passionate about creating memorable events that are a true reflection of each of our couples. Our wedding planners love being creative with event designs but it’s the people and personal details that are the most important thing to us. We believe in creating a guest experience that feels effortless with impeccable service and genuine hospitality.
We value quality over quantity, which means that we take a limited number of weddings and each planner focuses on only one wedding per weekend.
We believe that more heads are better than one, which is why we have created a “team-approach to wedding planning” that gives you access to an extensive knowledge base and creative think-tank. When our team of planners collaborate, we are able to produce more creative ideas, establish the best vendor teams, and troubleshoot before the big day based off our collective wedding planning experiences.
We place a significance on work/life balance. Each wedding planner takes at least one weekend off per month to allow time to relax, recharge, and enjoy the brief Pacific Northwest sunshine during our busy summer wedding season. As a result, your wedding planner will be rested + ready for your wedding even if you are getting married in the middle of August!
We have been recognized in our industry as Award-Winning Wedding Planners by both our colleagues and past clients. Our team is honored to have received the prestigious awards of “Best Wedding Coordinator” in 2018, “Best Wedding Planner” in 2016, 2015 and 2014 along with “Best All-Around Wedding Vendor” in 2015 from Seattle Bride Magazine, in addition to being awarded the ILEA 2017 & 2018 Emerald City Applause Award for “Best Wedding” in Seattle along with numerous local and national accolades.

Having grown up in the Seattle wedding and event industry with a family business, I was fortunate to attend amazing events that inspired a passion for wedding planning at an early age. In order to turn my passion into a reality, I earned a BA in Business from Seattle Pacific University and spent over six years working for various companies in the event and wedding industry. After continuing my education by studying event design, I launched Perfectly Posh Events to provide wedding planning to the sophisticated and city chic brides in the Pacific Northwest. I have been working exclusively with weddings for the past ten years and absolutely love it!!!
A Seattle native, I love starting the morning off with a dry almond cappuccino and ending the day with a glass of red wine from one of the local Washington wineries. A lifelong Seahawks fan, I love football season and spending Sundays cheering on my home team! I adore shoes and can frequently be seen running around events in a pair of amazing heels that color-coordinate with the event theme.
Enough about me. It’s time to pour yourself a glass of bubbly and let the wedding planning begin…cheers!

I’m a So Cal transplant who absolutely loves Seattle and has called the Emerald City my home for the past 12 years. The Pacific Northwest has so much to offer! The weather. The scenery. The food. Oh the food!
I’m a recent bride myself. My husband and I got married in a 13th century castle in Scotland this past May. An owl delivered our wedding rings. We cut the cake with the bagpiper’s sword. My motto: If you can dream it, I can do it! My passport is always at the ready. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding or a wedding here in the Pacific Northwest, I’m you’re creative gal to bring it all together.
I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor’s of Science in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in English Literature. I spent the past 15 years as a TV News Producer and earned many industry awards including an Emmy. With those accomplishments under my belt, I decided it was time to make my dream job of wedding planning a reality!
I consider being a wedding planner and absolute and complete honor. Two people have decided to make a life-long commitment to each other. In front of everyone they know and love. To be a part of that, to bring a couple’s vision and vibe for their wedding to life is a privilege.
