After 15 years in the wedding industry, I’ve had the absolute joy of working alongside some of the most creative, hardworking people I’ve ever met. Planners, venue owners, florists, coordinators, DJs—you name it.
Chelsey Dane Arnal, I've never forgotten the risk you took on me as a fresh college graduate with zero experience. I want to acknowledge that my love started well before I went into weddings but it was Chelsey who gave me my first chance at making dreams come true and now it's my turn to pay it forward.
I’ve worn nearly every hat:
📋 Planner
🏛️ Venue manager
📈 Sales director
💻 Marketer..and just about everything in between.
I’ve helped build venues from the ground up, booked out calendars, navigated burnout, and learned (sometimes the hard way) what it takes to grow a wedding business—not just run one.
That’s why I created WedChex: a resource hub and consulting space built specifically for small wedding business owners ready to scale with purpose and overcome their obstacles with a customized approach.
Whether you're fully booked but barely profitable, stuck in the day-to-day, or dreaming of the next level—you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I can't wait to meet and work with even more talented wedding professionals in need of a little something extra, an intangible element that can only come from someone who has been there and experienced it firsthand.
To anyone who has ever support me, thank you. To anyone that has ever doubted me, thank you. This is just the beginning.
