Founder/Wedding Coordinator/Officiant

I can’t wait to meet you and help create your perfect wedding that is uniquely you because every couple deserves… the Best Day Ever!

my message to you

Hi and congratulations on your engagement! What an amazing adventure you are about to embark on. Your wedding day is sure to be the biggest moment in your life to date, and I will do everything I can to ensure you and your partner have the BEST DAY EVER!

my personal mission

As your wedding professional, my mission is twofold. One, I want to create a cohesive atmosphere for your wedding that represents you as an individual and as a couple. After all, this is your day and it should be unique; just like your love story. And two, I want to ensure that all of your plans and details are executed smoothly for a stress-free wedding day. You’ve worked so hard for months and when it’s finally time to walk down the aisle I want you to be able to immerse yourself in the day with your loved ones and not miss a moment.

my background

I grew up in Indiana and received my Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Purdue University. After graduation I moved to South Florida where I worked as a licensed Interior Designer for 8 years. During that time I met my husband and in 2015 we decided to move to North Carolina. Kernersville is now our home and we love it! Over the years my passion for design started transitioning from designing homes to designing parties and events and specifically weddings. I now have over 15 years of combined corporate and private event planning and hosting experience with the last 4 years concentrated in weddings in the Triad area.

my background

Hello, my name is Lyndsi Watson! I’m a mama to 3 beautiful kiddos, they are my life.  During the week you will find me teaching and loving on students of all ages. I’m a special ed teacher and an educational therapist. I knew from a young age that my calling in life was to be an educator. However, as I got older, I realized I loved planning all the things. Fast forward to college and all my friends getting married and I knew event planning was in my future. I love to throw a party and make sure everything is just perfect.

in my free time you'll find me

You will find me making the best memories with my kiddos, catching a movie at a drive-in, eating at local restaurants, or cooking something yummy. I enjoy living in the moment and making as many memories as I can.

my background

I was first called to preach in September 2016. I have been involved in the youth leadership program and served as a Youth Evangelist at my previous church. I am currently continuing seminary classes in order earn credentials to become a pastor. What I love most about officiating is that it allows me to be the narrator of a couple’s love story. I have the honor of telling their love story in front of the people that are most important to them.

in my free time you'll find me

Making people laugh by telling corny jokes, spending time with my wife and our four legged child Trinity, paying it forward, and participating in “ordeals” that test my faith like skydiving. Oh, and did I mention I love giraffes.

my background

New York, born and raised, I studied performing arts at Queensborough Community college. I worked off-broadway for 8 years, where I spent most of my time behind the stage working on prop design and lighting. I visited North Carolina and fell in love with its beauty and beaches,  I knew I had to stay forever! I started working in Smithfield NC where I continued lighting design for corporate events, weddings, and parties. It has always been a passion of mine to create beautiful scenic moments. Working on weddings, event design, and seeing how it all comes to fruition is a joy of mine!  I truly hope to make YOUR day the Best Day Ever!!!

Hanging out with my cat! Volunteering at the local theater or going to a concert. Taking a trip to the outer banks and camping at the beach! I love to travel with my husband and try new types of boba tea everywhere we go.

my background

Originally from Indiana, I am the youngest of five children, and fourth son, of a United Methodist Minister.
We grew up with so many “down-home” experiences and memories.  We enjoyed HUGE family gatherings and holidays as Grandma and Grandpa had 11 children, which made for a ton of cousins, aunts, and uncles! Somehow Mom and Dad would find a way to scrape up enough money to take us to Wrigley Field once or twice a year to watch our beloved Cubs. Although Mom and Dad probably weren’t crazy about the winter weather off  Lake Michigan, my brother and I loved building snow forts and playing hockey. 
 
My wife and I have two very career-accomplished daughters we could not be more proud of, with which also come two Granddaughters and a Grand puppy! As we have relocated from South Florida to North Carolina we are looking forward to the change of seasons again.
 
I consider myself semi-retired, having worked at Subaru of Indiana in Lafayette, Indiana, and most recently as Golf Shop Manager at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

I have three Happy Places: (aside from being with my wife, of course). Anywhere our Granddaughters are!! They have brought so much happiness and unconditional love to our lives! In the outfield bleachers at Wrigley Field with my bestie brother, Benny, or jumping out of a perfectly good airplane from 13,000 feet! (with a parachute, of course.)
 
All is good in life when, at the end of the day, you can lay your head on your pillow and say, "I am at peace with the world and my fellow man."

my background

I am an ordained Christian minister retired from Wake Forest University where I served as one of the university chaplains. I have over thirty years of experience working on college campuses as a chaplain and campus minister.  It was through officiating the weddings of numerous alumni and friends that I came to realize how much I enjoy assisting couples on one of the happiest days of their lives. My philosophy when it comes to weddings is that it is YOUR wedding, not mine.  I would be honored to assist you in making your wedding the most special day possible.

Another of my passions is horses.  After many years of wishing for a horse, I saw my dream come true approximately twelve years ago when I purchased a one year old half Arabian filly.  Sky’s Painted Dream (more commonly known as Dream) is now thirteen years old and is the joy of my life. In my spare time, I can often be found hanging out with her and other four-legged friends, including my dog, MacFarland (also known as Farley).
