The Brown Sugar Experience is where love stories meet celebration in the most soulful way. I’m Nae, a nationwide wedding and event planner who believes your big day should feel like you—intentional, beautiful, and rooted in joy. From intimate “I do’s” to big family-filled receptions, I help couples plan weddings that reflect who they are and what they love, without all the stress. Planning should feel exciting, not overwhelming—so I bring structure, style, and heart to every step of the process.

From intimate moments to full wedding weekends, we bring care, creativity, and cultural awareness to every detail.

    We’re not traditional wedding folks. We wanted something chill but still meaningful. Nae helped us balance our laid-back style with intentional structure, and she made sure we were seen, heard, and celebrated every step of the way.

    I don’t even know where to begin. From the very first call, we felt like we were in the hands of family—not just a planner. Nae listened to every little detail, calmed our nerves, and made magic happen. Our wedding wasn’t just beautiful—it felt like us. If you want a planner who understands culture, vibes, and connection, stop scrolling. You just found her.

    We were overwhelmed with all the planning, but Nae stepped in and gave us PEACE. She thought of things we didn’t even know we needed. She advocated for us, organized everything down to the hour, and brought so much love to the process. 3 months later and our guests still talk about how smooth and intentional everything felt. Hire her—you won’t regret it.

  • Elopement Celebration was AWESOME

    We told her our vision—and she brought it to life better than we imagined.” We didn’t want a big traditional wedding. We just wanted a space to celebrate our elopement with the people we love, in a way that felt real and us. Nae listened—like really listened—to what mattered to us, and turned those ideas into a soulful, intentional experience. It wasn’t over-the-top or generic. It was warm, personal, and full of meaning. The vibes were just right, and every little detail had heart.
