Miquel developed an affinity (some may say an obsession) with weddings at a young age. After a few summers working at her Aunt’s flower studio, she fell in love with the idea that everything from a bride’s favorite flower to the groom’s preferred cocktail to their send off at the end of the night are curated to create an everlasting moment that encompasses the spirit of the couple.

Her decision to branch into the wedding industry came from a desire to make that feeling of serendipity continue long after the couple embarks on their honeymoon. From weddings, to corporate events, to small get-togethers Miquel has been praised for her attention to detail, craftiness, and innovation. She believes every detail should contribute to the couple’s holistic vision.

Miquel says, “As a wedding coordinator, there’s nothing better than that moment when you finally see all the details fall into place seamlessly for your bride and groom. 50 years from now, they may not remember the contents of the guests’ welcome bags, transportation from the ceremony to the reception, or even the seating chart. But they will remember the overarching feeling of love on that night– and that only happens when those tiny details are handled with care. That’s my job– and for me, to be able to help create that moment… that’s the best part of it all.”

When you sit down with Miquel to discuss your big day, she will not only assist with the logistics but she will get to know you, your partner and your family so that she can truly understand the vision you have for your wedding and how you can work together to not only coordinate your wedding, but create moments that lasts a lifetime!

Having been through this stressful experience, she wants to provide every bride with peace of mind on their big day. Aprils attention to detail and ability to get things done, makes her the perfect Day of Coordinator for any event, big or small. She loves assisting brides with new ideas and D.I.Y. touches.

Justine has always had an eye for event planning and coordination. Since a young age, she loved putting her creative and organizational skills for good use. From planning family events to organizing philanthropies with her sorority, Justine has always been a natural. In 2014, Justine spent most of her junior semester of college planning a huge charity event for Alzheimer’s awareness. The event was not only a big success, but all proceeds were donated to the Alzheimer’s foundation. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree in special education from Kean University, Justine also uses her love for the simple details in her 2nd-grade classroom. With all her experience running a classroom of 2nd- graders, Justine knows what it takes to be quick on her feet, solve any problem that may arise, and keep order in her classroom – all the skills needed to allow every wedding to go off without a hitch! 

Justine’s love for day of coordination and the wedding industry stems from her older sister, Veronica. After spending one summer working alongside her who is a professional hair/makeup artist, Justine saw the beautiful glow of every bride that crossed her path. That smile from each bride after seeing how beautiful she looks on her big day is the same smile Justine loves to see on each bride as she walks down the aisle on her wedding day. 

Her true obsession with weddings started after having the opportunity to work alongside our very own founder Carla Friday. Having the unique opportunity to see our couple’s day come to life has been nothing but rewarding to her. She believes that every wedding is unique in their own way. She knows what it takes to tackle any task, and how to truly make your wedding day the best day of your life!
