Who's Behind the Scenes
Tracy Dapp ~ Owner/Lead Planner
After planning my own wedding in 2007, I quickly realized that I loved all aspects of the planning process and knew I wanted to learn more about the industry. I would read wedding blogs, every book imaginable, belonged to many wedding related forums and attended workshops in order to absorb the knowledge of what it took to become a true wedding planner. To this day, I am continually learning about wedding trends and business to better myself and the experience I can bring to our couples. Organization comes as natural to me as breathing; everything has its place and being a little bit obsessed with time, makes me a rock star with timelines!
I received my designation of Professional Wedding Planner™ from the Association of Bridal Consultants {ABC} and am also a “Distinguished Graduate” of their Professional Development Program. I'm an active member in the organization by attending local state meetings, speaking/attending other state chapter meetings and attending the annual conference. I also love to teach and mentor aspiring new wedding planners about the industry.
