DANA BASWELL
OWNER / EXECUTIVE PLANNER

From a young age I could be found drawing wedding dresses and swooning over beautiful wedding details.  Having always had an interest in fashion and all things production its no surprise the wedding industry gets my blood pumping. There is nothing like the rush of wedding day!

I joined Kelsea in the early stages of this wonderful adventure, having worked with her for years prior - first in retail and later in a corporate office. After trying on a few different hats, we have both found our niche.  I have come to truly love being a wedding planner for all my stunning brides!

I live in Birmingham, AL with my sweet hubby who works in the IT field, my darling daughter who works full time as a princess, and our three fur babies.

KELSEA NASSIF
PLANNER / COORDINATOR

Hey y'all! Kelsea here. I started this little dream biz' back in 2015 with some dedication and enthusiasm not knowing what it would ever turn in to! I have such a passion for details and people, and I finally found the perfect outlet.

I live in Birmingham, AL with the light of my life - my standard poodle, Oakley. I like to say I'm an extroverted introvert. I love getting to know my brides and am so thankful for the many  friendships I've come away with on this journey. I never take it for granted. 

God has been so faithful and I'll never stop giving him the glory for it all.
