Your Wedding Day Should Feel Like a Celebration, Not a Crisis
Dear Bride-to-be,
You’ve been engaged for a minute now…
And the excitement is starting to mix with something else.
Stress… Overwhelm…
The creeping realization that planning a wedding is basically a second job you didn’t apply for.
You’ve got a vision in your head of what you want your day to look and feel like…
But between the venue tours, vendor negotiations, timeline logistics, and your aunt who keeps “suggesting” things, that vision feels further away every week.
“What if you could hand all of that off to someone who actually loves this stuff—someone who’s coordinated dozens of weddings across the DMV, knows which vendors deliver and which ones flake, and has a genuine talent for turning ‘I have no idea what I want’ into ‘this is more beautiful than I imagined’?”
That’s what I do.
I Can Help You Have
The Wedding Of Your Dreams
Hi, my name is Kendra Kern…
And I’ve spent the last 6 years planning weddings across DC, Virginia, and Maryland.
I’ve worked at Virginia wineries and farms, DC hotels and museums, and Maryland estates and industrial sites.
I’ve managed everything from intimate backyard ceremonies to 300-guest productions, and built relationships with the best florists, photographers, caterers, and DJs in the area.
But what I really do?
I give you your time and sanity back.
My job is to take the stress off your plate so you can focus on what actually matters: marrying the person you love, surrounded by the people who matter most.
I’ll handle the details. The emergencies. The family drama. The vendor who shows up late. The timeline that needs adjusting on the fly. All of it.
You just show up and get married.
Here's What Brides Say
After Working With Me
I’ve planned over 100+ weddings in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area.
Below are real reviews from real brides that I’ve had the pleasure of working with:
I Work Best With Couples Who:
- Want a wedding that feels like them, not a Pinterest template
- Have busy lives and careers don't have 20 hours a week to play project manager
- Care about the details but don't want to drown in them
- Value having a calm, organized presence in their corner when things get chaotic
- Appreciate someone who's honest, responsive, and won't sugarcoat things when something needs to change
Whether you need someone to take over the entire planning process from day one or you just want a pro in your corner to execute everything on the wedding day itself, I offer packages built around how much support you actually need.
Full planning. Partial planning. Month-of coordination. We can figure out what makes sense for you on our call.
