You Might Need A Wedding Assessment If...
You're building a venue and planning a wedding at the same time
Your wedding feels bigger and more complicated than expected
You've made dozens of decisions but still feel behind
You feel capable, but unsure what you're missing
You wish someone with backyard wedding experience could simply look over everything
This isn't full-service planning. It's focused guidance that helps you make confident decisions and move forward without carrying the entire burden alone.

Meet Your Guiding Star
Hi, I'm Kellydawn
I've helped build backyard weddings from the ground up, including my own daughter's 180-guest backyard celebration.
I created the Vows Under the Stars™ Method after realizing most backyard couples aren't simply planning a wedding.
They're building a venue and a wedding at the same time.
The Starlight Strategy Session is where we slow down, assess what's already in place, identify what may be missing, and determine the next steps that will have the biggest impact on your day.
Because thoughtful planning creates presence.
And you deserve to experience your wedding day... not manage it.
