Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

“I recently had the pleasure of having Brooklyn as the officiant of my wedding and I am so glad I went with her! She made the process as simple as possible, was super easy to work with, was always open to communication and returned correspondence in a more than timely manner. Simply put, everything I needed!”

When a major hurdle arose with the delivery timing of some rentals, Dana went above and beyond, advocating fiercely to ensure everything worked out perfectly. Her determination and professionalism made all the difference in what could have been a stressful situation. Thanks to their experience, tools, patience, and boundless endurance, planning became not only manageable but enjoyable.

Having a background in hospitality and design for all of my adult life (plus some!) has allowed me to come on this journey of wedding and event planning. I am passionate about helping couples bring their dream wedding to life while telling the story of their love. I know that wedding planning can be overwhelming and daunting, so let me be your advocate, friend, and confidant in this season of your life.

“Do yourself a favor and get in touch with Lauren of Luna Designs LLC, ASAP! I know when I started planning my wedding, I thought I could do it all on my own, however there are so many details I hadn't considered, and with the date getting closer and closer, I began to panic. Thankfully, after contacting and meeting with Lauren, we determined the coordinating services that would be the most beneficial for my wedding...and my sanity! Once Lauren took the lead, all questions were asked and answered with other vendors and everything began to fall into place. I do not know what I would have done without her, a complete professional that took the stress from my hands to her own, and providing all the possible options, recommendations and resources she could offer to let my wedding be the best time ever! The day was just perfect, and during my wedding (and continuing after) I received so many compliments on how wonderfully everything was planned, with the coordinating being amazing! Thank you Lauren, for everything you did to make our day so special, with every memory being treasured, I am forever grateful!!!”

She showed us time and time again she was willing to go above and beyond to do what it takes to not only make our wedding beautiful and meaningful, but also allowed us to walk down the aisle completely stress free. We got the pleasure of working with Niamh outside of our package time frame via email and she was there to help us every step of the way to our happily ever after. We also highly recommend bringing the energy you want at your wedding with you! The best thing about working with Niamh was having a peaceful morning while she put everything into place before we arrived. This time was a gift for everyone, where we got to fill our hearts with joy and shine that happiness onto any one we saw that day. What you really want in a wedding planner is someone with a heart of gold, and that's what sets Niamh with Sweetie Pie Weddings apart from the other gifted wedding planners. I couldn't have thought of a better name for her business, as she is most certainly a Sweetie Pie. Now that our wedding is over she will be missed and we will always consider her a family friend.”

I’m here to ensure that you enjoy the journey just as much as the destination!

“Please take a few seconds and read this review - Brooke is the wedding planner you are looking for: Brooke was absolutely the wedding planner we needed for our complex, epic outdoor winter wedding weekend in the mountains that included trains, skiing, happy hour on the slopes, and a wedding venue that had never hosted an outdoor wedding before— and it honestly all went perfectly because of Brooke. We pitched Brooke all of our crazy ideas— we wanted it to be personal, laid back, have some light traditional touches but also be exciting and adventurous— and she helped us structure and plan the wedding that was perfect for us. She’s easy to talk to and to be around during what inevitably can become a stressful process, but she will meanwhile meticulously track the details about vendors, guests, scheduling, etc… Her communication is impeccable, and we never felt like we were falling behind on the timeline or having to follow-up with anyone. She knows the best vendors in the area to realize your vision— or in the rare instance she didn’t have a direct connection, she did the research to find out who was the best for us. All of her recommendations were top tier and budget conscious. In addition to being excellent at her job, Brooke is just plain wonderful. It’s clear she loves what she does and has perfected the skill of hyping you up and helping you dream big to craft a wedding that is memorable and uniquely yours, while also providing her experience to support your through key decisions when you start to stress-spiral (and you will at some point along the way). On the big day, we were able to truly enjoy sharing time with the most important people in our lives rather than worrying about the details, because Brooke had everything handled. There may have been some hiccups, but honestly, we will never know because Brooke is a professional and probably solved them without our awareness. Her experience was priceless when working with our wedding venue who had hosted fewer than 5 weddings, none of which were outdoors in the winter. We also had perfect weather, so she may also have some influence with the weather gods… not as sure about that one, but we wouldn’t be surprised. Wedding planning was exciting but also stressful and we couldn’t imagine how we would have pulled off our wedding weekend without Brooke’s support. We were legitimately bummed when the wedding was over that we wouldn’t being working with Brooke regularly anymore. Choosing her as our planner was the best thing we did, and we will recommend her to everyone we know who is looking to tie the knot. We wish we could give her 100/5 stars. Arian and Britt”

She has over eight years of experience in the field not only with owning CGWE, but also working for various DFW vendors and venues and has had the honor of interning for celebrity wedding planner, David Tutera, twice on his bridal show circuit.

“I happened upon Callie on instagram in the early stages of wedding planning hoping to find someone that could help me narrow things down so I could actually begin the planning process. From my husband & I's first call with Callie I knew she would be perfect to help us with our wedding day. She is such a calm presence and someone to call on anytime with any questions. She gave me all of her recommendations for vendors and helped me narrow things down right away which was life saving because there are just too many vendors out there to go through alone. Knowing that she knew everyone she was recommending to us and had worked with them in the past gave me such ease and confidence. Now, my wedding day... OMG my wedding day. It was so relaxing. Stressed would not even be anywhere near how I felt. I showed up to the venue and Callie was there, biggest smile, handling all the things. She checked on me multiple times making sure I had everything I needed as well as my whole bridal party. The whole wedding ran so smoothly, everything was on time... I could go on and on. I am so lucky that after this I can now truly call Callie my friend. Truly the best in the business. My wedding would not have been ANYTHING close to what I was without her.
