Two weddings sit at the center of how I think about this work. The first was an Italian-style celebration at Sentinel, where the family dynamics ran in every direction at once and the vendor team needed someone holding the whole room. I learned what it means to be the steady hand in that kind of moment. The second was a wedding at Wind Mountain Ranch, where a multi-bus shuttle carried over a hundred guests across the Columbia Gorge without a single timing miss. The bigger the day, the calmer the planner has to be. Both lessons are still with me on every wedding I lead.
