Southern Tier Event Planning

Excited and honored to share my story! Thank you for the opportunity CWP Society!

That quiet pull to level up? It’s worth listening to. 🎙️

In the latest episode of The Wedding Planner Society Podcast, Senior Educator, Krisy Thomas, is sitting down with Christina Collins, Master Certified Wedding Planner, and Tracy Dapp, Certified Wedding Planner — two planners who didn’t ignore that instinct. They chased it.

Christina rebuilt her career after COVID exposed the gaps. Tracy nearly walked away from the industry entirely — before certification and community brought her back stronger.

Together we talk burnout, imposter syndrome, contracts as protection, firing misaligned clients with confidence, and the real difference between reacting and responding.

Because couples hand us their family dynamics, their meaningful budgets, and memories that can’t be redone. That’s not something to grow into casually.

If you’re feeling the itch — don’t wait for “later.”

This fall weather takes me back to when this sweet couple said “I do” two years ago at , surrounded by the most amazing details 🍂 From the autumn-inspired décor and custom leather suspenders to the pearl-studded denim jacket, matching dinner bibs, and even the coordinating white late-night sweatsuits (not pictured), every detail was a perfect reflection of their love story.

Cheers to TWO years of marriage and your beautiful new addition to the family! 💕

✨ It’s all in the details ✨

Every layer of this tablescape was designed with intention but what made this design extra special were the hand-calligraphed name tags the bride created herself. --> swipe for a better view

This is where having a planner makes all the difference. We ensure that thoughtful details like these don’t get lost - instead, they’re highlighted and woven seamlessly into the overall design that feels seamless and true to you. Without that cohesive vision, even the most meaningful touches can go unnoticed.

At STEP, we love blending personal elements with polished styling so that your day feels not only elevated, but deeply yours.
