When a special occasion is on the horizon, it’s important that you feel comfortable and understood every step of the way.

Molly made my absolute DREAM wedding come to life and I will forever be thankful for her incredible talent. Molly, my mother, and I had SO much fun planning my wedding. She was there every step of the way making the job of planning a wedding simple, easy, fun, and STRESS FREE—which is extremely rare when trying to plan a wedding for 400 people. Planning a successful and stress-free wedding is impossible by yourself. Save yourself the stress (and your relationships) and hire Molly and her team! You will NOT be disappointed!

With both my husband and I based remotely, wedding planning initially seemed overwhelming. Molly kept us organized, updated and was always in close contact (even responding to my late night texts when my nerves were wrecked). Molly guided us throughout our entire planning process and linked us to the best vendors in Dallas. Additionally, Molly had the added task of blending two different cultures (Central African and American) and two different languages (French and English). She pulled everything off seamlessly. Both of our families felt included and are still talking about the festivities today
