Hi there,
I’m Leslie—wedding planner, problem solver, calm-in-the-storm kind of person. I’ve been planning weddings for over 17 years and have had the honor of helping more than 400 couples celebrate here in wine country.
I live in West Sonoma County with my husband and son, and I still feel lucky every day to call this place home. The views, the light, the food and wine—it’s everything you’re probably envisioning for your wedding weekend. And it really is as good as it looks.
Before planning weddings, I was a personal chef and taught gardening to second graders at a Waldorf school. I’ve lived abroad, traveled a lot, and had some wild adventures (ask me about hiking in Papua New Guinea), but this coast always calls me back. There’s something grounding about it—and that’s how I approach wedding days, too. Grounded, thoughtful, with room for joy.
If you’re planning a wedding in Napa or Sonoma and want someone who will get in the trenches with you, keep things on track, and make it all feel effortless, I’d love to hear more about what you’re dreaming up.
Click the “Let’s Talk” button and let’s see if we’re a good fit.
Warmly,
Leslie
Love Notes
“ I was surprisingly not nervous at all during the whole wedding day because I knew Leslie had everything under control. Leslie is super calm, organized, cool, and collected. Because of Leslie, we got to enjoy every single moment of our wedding, and that to us is priceless.”
Catrina & Greg
“ Our wedding day was so much better than we even imagined it would be, and that's in very large part thanks to Leslie. A lot of our early wedding planning stress just came from that feeling of you-don't-know-what-you-don't-know. But Leslie put us at ease every step of the way and helped keep the day (and all the planning leading up to it) calm, relaxing, fun, and meaningful. In a situation where we often didn't even know what questions to ask, we always found peace knowing we were in her very capable hands.”

“ Leslie coordinated our wedding in San Francisco at the Fairmont this April and it was quite possibly the best decision we made. Leslie's even-tempered demeanor, attention to detail, assertiveness, and ability to think on her feet made her the absolute perfect match for us…”
Leslie & David
“Leslie was an absolute dream coordinator for our wedding at Cornerstone. I don't know what we would have done without her expertise, attention to detail, fantastic Sonoma vendor recommendations, and of course complete wedding coordination. Her calm and collected attitude relieved all my stress, and it was an absolute joy to work with her. Our wedding day went off without a hitch (at least that I'm aware of!) and I'm 100% sure that's due to Leslie. We would have been lost without her! I highly recommend her services.”
