The Capable Bride® is my personal brand and creative studio — the home of my work across weddings, hospitality, and creative business.
It’s where I share the thinking behind the brands I’ve built, the systems I design, and the experiences I help bring to life.
If you’re here looking for wedding planning, catering, or business support, you’ll find dedicated services through Wedding M.D., Taste Buds Required®, and The Vendor Lab.
And if you’re here for me (my perspective, writing, or leadership): welcome. This is where it all connects.
Each business exists to solve a different problem — all designed with the same foundation: thoughtful systems, cultural fluency, and people-first experiences.
I come from journalism and project management — two worlds that taught me how to ask better questions, build clear systems, and tell meaningful stories.
Over the last decade, I’ve built multiple businesses in creative industries by blending strategy with empathy, structure with imagination, and logistics with lived experience.
My work lives at the intersection of:
Creativity and execution
Culture and operations
Vision and sustainability
I care deeply about accessibility, inclusivity, and building systems that actually support people and not just productivity.
This site is where my perspective lives and where everything I build connects..
I write about weddings, culture, creative business, leadership, and what it really takes to build meaningful work in imperfect systems.
Recent topics include:
Planning as emotional labor
Why culture isn’t a theme — it’s infrastructure
Building creative businesses with chronic illness
Redefining luxury as care, not chaos
From bold weddings to intimate dinners to styled shoots,
I bring big visions to life with excellence and care.
