Top Atlanta Hotel Wedding Planners

As the Director of Catering and Events The Kimpton Shane Hotel, my primary focus is to curate exceptional, personalized guest experiences while driving revenue through strategic event planning and execution. I oversee the end-to-end process for events, including weddings, corporate meetings, social gatherings, and private celebrations, ensuring seamless coordination and meticulous attention to detail.

I have always enjoyed working with people and working in the hospitality industry gives me the opportunity to tie both of my passions of working with ppl and planning events into one space.

As a wedding specialist, my approach is rooted in creating deeply personalized and seamless experiences for couples on one of the most important days of their lives. I believe in building genuine relationships with my clients, taking the time to understand their unique vision, preferences, and values. This allows me to tailor every detail to reflect their story and ensure their celebration feels authentic and memorable.

I focus on providing expert guidance throughout the planning process, offering creative solutions and thoughtful recommendations to bring their dream wedding to life. From selecting the perfect venue setup to curating menus and managing timelines, I prioritize clear communication and meticulous attention to detail. My goal is to reduce stress for couples and their families, empowering them to fully enjoy every moment of their special day.

Collaboration is at the heart of my approach—I work closely with trusted vendors, hotel teams, and other stakeholders to ensure flawless execution. Above all, I am committed to delivering an extraordinary experience that exceeds expectations and creates lasting memories.

When planning weddings for my clients, I approach budget management with transparency, creativity, and strategic oversight. I begin by working closely with the couple to understand their priorities, vision, and financial parameters. By identifying the elements most important to them—whether it's an elaborate floral display, a gourmet menu, or a stunning venue—I help allocate resources to maximize the impact of their investment.

I maintain open and ongoing communication with clients about costs, providing detailed breakdowns and updates throughout the planning process. This ensures they are fully informed and feel confident in the financial decisions being made. I leverage my experience and relationships with trusted vendors to negotiate competitive rates and uncover cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality.

Small, intimate weddings are our specialty. We curate wonderful experiences for all couples to have lasting memories of their special day.

Focus on what truly matters to you as a couple and prioritize those elements in your wedding. Let go of the pressure to meet every expectation or trend, and instead, create a celebration that reflects your unique love story. The most memorable weddings are not the ones that are 'perfect' but the ones that feel authentic and meaningful to you and your guests.

With over 23 years in the hospitality industry, I have done it all! I have moved across the US over the years to be a Catering Sales Manager, Wedding Sales Manager, Director of Catering Sales and more. I recently made the move to work with boutique, lifestyle and luxury brands. I could not be more excited.

In my current role, my main focus is creating one-of-a-kind experiences for our social groups, including weddings, proposals, rehearsal dinners, and more. I truly believe these events deserve thoughtful, innovative and creative accommodations.

The Shane is a unique boutique hotel that offers beautiful natural light in our ballroom and other meeting spaces. As a boutique hotel, it’s exciting that we can do smaller, cozier and more intimate weddings. My favorite spaces are the Aveline Lounge and Terrace, Symphony Ballroom and Sync Boardroom, perfect for a space for the bridal party.

The most important must-have on the day of your wedding is a Wedding Planner or Coordinator. You do not want to tackle this alone. Whether you hire someone or have a friend to step in and assist, it is imperative that you have someone to help execute your vision and take the weight off of your shoulders!

I let my couples know that it is important to set and know your budget, stay within it by hiring vendors that can accommodate that budget and be realistic about what a wedding costs now. Having a wedding planner will help you stay within—and hone—your budget.

We have flexible event spaces that can comfortably host celebrations with up to 90 guests. We'll work closely with you to determine the best setup for your specific guest count and event.
