I was a Pretty + Planned bride myself and after seeing the impact on our wedding and the friendship we created with a \u201cwedding vendor\u201d, I fell in love with weddings and the entire process even more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_8612476237102193393gmail-Default\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Cormorant; font-weight: normal; font-size: medium;\">I love being a part of Pretty + Planned and truly believe that my experience solving problems, working in fast-paced environments, and working with a variety of people helps me assist in the entire planning process and then running a smooth wedding weekend from start to finish. There\u2019s nothing like hearing the positive impact that you\u2019ve had on someone\u2019s day and the fact that you allowed everyone to\u00a0<i>truly<\/i>\u00a0enjoy the experience without concerns.
