From my earliest memories of pastel-colored mints and wedding cakes, beautiful brides with grinning grooms, and the blissful gatherings of families and friends, I grew up surrounded by weddings.  My father, the Reverend Donald Ralston, officiated at more weddings than I can recall. Those images – the joyful occasions of weddings past – still linger.  And, it's those fond memories that created the desire to do what has become my personal calling: designing weddings.

I strive to create weddings that fill me with pride.  To accomplish that, I provide exceptional support along with expert guidance throughout the planning process and the event itself.  The end result: a wedding day flowing with grace and free of anxiety – a magical, memorable experience for the couple and their beloved guests.

I’m well-versed, having spent many years working for the different vendors that create the backbone of a wedding.  This has given me an unrivaled understanding of the complexity in creating a smooth, flowing event.  My personality is fun, relaxed, and above all honest.  For over two decades, I have helped many couples avoid the stress of planning a wedding by being poised, highly organized and entirely reliable.  From our first consultation, I encourage my couples to have fun – to enjoy each precious moment of creating their ideal wedding.

I’ve been trained by the Association of Certified Wedding Consultants and hold the certification of Professional Wedding Consultant.  My clear communication abilities have earned accolades from both clients and vendors alike.

While specializing in Napa Valley settings, I also produce weddings in Sonoma Valley and the greater San Francisco Bay area.  From intimate elopements, to extravagant pageants, I have the range of experience that can successfully bring your dreams of your wedding day to life.
