About Me

I'm a wedding and events professional with a passion for creating seamless, memorable experiences for couples on one of the most important days of their lives. With a background in event planning, client relations, and operations, I thrive on building genuine relationships and bringing creative visions to life while ensuring every detail is executed with excellence. Outside of weddings, I'm a wife, mom of two, and the owner of a bridal makeup business. I enjoy all things beauty, home design, fitness, and spending time with my family. I'm passionate about continued professional growth and love learning from others in the wedding industry. I'm excited to connect with fellow wedding professionals, build meaningful relationships, and continue growing within the Charlottesville wedding community. I believe the best events happen when talented vendors work together, and I'm always looking to build relationships that support both our couples and one another.

The Clifton

Tucked into 100 acres of rolling Virginia countryside just six miles from downtown Charlottesville, The Clifton is a luxury boutique estate with a wedding legacy as storied as the land itself. The Colonial Revival Manor House was originally built in the late 17th century at the request of Thomas Mann Randolph and his wife, Martha Jefferson Randolph, Thomas Jefferson's daughter, and the property has been welcoming guests with that same sense of grace ever since. For couples, The Clifton offers something rare: exclusive use of the full estate. No shared spaces, no strangers passing through, just you and your guests with the run of one of the most beautiful properties in Virginia. Blue Ridge Mountain views stretch across every corner of the grounds, and the setting does a lot of the heavy lifting on its own. The estate is designed to carry your celebration naturally from one moment to the next. Exchange vows on the sweeping front lawn, move to the croquet lawn for cocktails, and finish the night under the grand court tent at the edge of the forest. For smaller gatherings, the secret garden, the Library, and the Wine Cellar each offer something more intimate within the larger property. The Clifton is also built for a full wedding weekend. Guests stay in beautifully appointed rooms and cottages, each with its own character, and enjoy on-site dining that draws heavily from Virginia's wine country and local farms. Thursday pool parties, Saturday receptions, and Sunday farewell brunches have become as much a part of the Clifton experience as the wedding itself. Whether you're planning something intimate or a multi-day celebration, The Clifton delivers on both the setting and the service.
