MEET THE LEAD PLANNER

a few words from abby herself:

Here’s the thing...any wedding planner can help you pull off a wedding. But when you have someone by your side who’s just as invested in your day as you are, not only does the stress fade away but you get to be a part of the planning process. You’re able to watch as every idea unfolds exactly as you imagined.  

Growing up, I probably watched The Wedding Planner with Jennifer Lopez 

a hundred times!

Long before I founded Legacy Events, I was just like you—captivated by the idea of a wedding that feels just right. I couldn’t stop imagining all the different ways a wedding could come together. So, I’d cut up my mom’s old magazines, piecing together mood boards until every detail felt perfect.

But as I got older, I realized that weddings are so much more than the pretty details—they’re about creating moments that actually matter to the people involved. 

first looks

I get completely consumed in the moment when watching the person at the altar’s face as their significant other walks down the aisle—it never gets old.

pasta

I'm an absolute sucker for authentic Italian meals.

coffee

Is my love language, but a good semi-sweet red or a morning mimosa will do the trick, too.
