THIS IS US, THIS IS CME
We curate incredible events for couples with fantastic taste and a fabulous sense of humor. We have mastered the art of elevating an event from good to great- we are in the business of partying after all. All we need from our couples is an understanding of their favorite things (and not so favorite), the reasoning of their top priorities, and their trust.
We're not just your planners, but your partners, too- we want to know the name of your pets (and to see pictures immediately), your go to date night spots, every last detail of your proposal, and what excites you most about married life. Without fail, when your big day arrives, we'll be the ones in the corner, tearing up with joy as you take your first dance.
This type of love knows no bounds- whether you want a lavish destination weekend escape or a cozy elopement stateside. Just say the word, and I'll be there to meet you at your chosen destination!

Whether you're a bride working hard on planning her own wedding, newly engaged and overwhelmed on where to start, or a fiancé in need of a little help, I'm so glad you found your way here! CME is a Baltimore based boutique styled event planning companys
erving the DMV and brides just like you!
I jumped into the world of weddings while completing my Communications degree at Salisbury University. Working at a bridal boutique in between classes, and coordinating weddings on the weekend gave me a glimpse of this amazing industry, & I quickly fell in love! Fast forward to managing a DC bridal boutique for two years, making the move to Baltimore, and then taking the big (read: amazing, scary, overwhelming, exciting, etc.) leap of launching CME in early 2017.
What's my favorite part of my "job" you ask? Its that I get to center my working days around my true passions of design, styling, and organizing. Oh! And, of course, being able to witness the raw, genuine reaction each groom has when he first lays eyes on his one and only walking towards him from the other side of the aisle.
(Side note: There is a 99% chance I will tear up during your first dance.)
Inspired by textures, hints of metallic, nature & my travels, I love to style each event as different as the next, Each love story is unique in their own beautiful way, & every wedding day should reflect just that! CME's main goal is to design a memorable celebration tailored just for you and your fiancé, while having fun along the way.
But enough about me! I want to hear about you!

Whether you're a busy bride-to-be, newly engaged and unsure where to start, or a groom in need of some guidance, you've come to the right place!
I discovered my love for the wedding industry while studying for a Communications degree. Working at a bridal boutique in between classes and coordinating weddings on weekends offered a glimpse into this incredible field. After managing a bridal boutique in Washington, D.C. for two years, moving to Baltimore, and finally launching CME in early 2017, I knew I had found my true calling.
What I love most about my job is the opportunity to focus on my passions of design, styling, and organization. Biggest perk of my job? Meeting incredible couples that quickly turn into friends. (I might even tear up during your first dance!)
Inspired by textures, pattern play, and my travels, I strive to make each event as unique as the love story it represents. At CME, our main objective is to design a memorable celebration tailored to you and your partner's unique style, while having fun along the way.
