I am thrilled to be a part of this fantastic event this year!  My business is White Dress Events and as the name suggests, I am a wedding/event planner.  I have also had the priviledge to be the organizer of the 2011 Grand Haven Wedding Walk!

Let me tell you a little bit about White Dress Events.  It is my passion to organize and plan events. I believe every couple has a special story and it should be told in the details of their wedding.

Born and raised in Grand Haven, I have really come to appreciate all that this lakeshore community has to offer when planning a wedding.  Although my  expertise lies in the lakeshore area, I have been commissioned throughout Michigan and beyond for wedding design and coordinating.  I have planned weddings of all sizes and styles; from casual and intimate on the beach to elegant and formal in the Basilica on the campus of Notre Dame.

I pride myself on my discerning eye for detail, unfaltering personal commitment and hands-on service. I am completely dedicated to my clients and believe that quickly earns their trust and assures them that they are in caring, capable hands.

I will be available from 11:00am - 1:00pm for "Expert Wedding Planning Advice".  Do you have budget, etiquette or protocol questions?  Do you need a vendor referral or design ideas?  Stop by and I will be happy to help!

I hope you have a wonderful time at this event!
