- Cat MurphyOwnerFirst of all, I am so excited you’re here! A few things about me: I have three cats, am an auntie to some awesome kiddos, and have a BS I’m biology. I love animals, home decor, LEGO, and DIY projects! After finishing my degree in biology, I worked in a couple of laboratories where detail is everything. After realizing I needed a change for my mental health, I transitioned from the lab to the service industry where I thrived helping people celebrate life everyday. Creating beautiful and stress-free events is my dream career and I would love to be a part of your big day!
- Jordan SpeareLead AssistantJust before Halloween in 2022, I met my partner Jordan - for the second time - at our favorite bar, the Hub Pub. From the very beginning, he’s been incredibly supportive and since the fall of 2024 has taken a more active role in the business. It turns out the guy I found at the bar is a killer wedding and event assistant, plus a great (allergic) cat dad. His specialties: managing/distracting family members, groomsman wrangling and hype-up speech for the boys, fairy lights, and boutonnieres. His background in the medical field and restaurant management comes in handy, and he’s *very* good at picking things up and putting them down where we need. He anticipates and executes the needs of the couple, bridal party, and guests, and I am always so grateful to have him by my side. I am so lucky to have him be my partner in life and business and on May 23, 2026, it'll be our turn to be the bride and groom!

The most valuable person on our wedding day, hands down. Cat handled EVERYTHING. Between family issues, details I didn’t think of, my sudden changes day of, and making sure our day...
was as seamless and stress free as possible, Cat was incredible. We went back and forth on whether we wanted to pay for a wedding planner but Cat was worth every penny and more. Our special day would not have gone so perfectly without her!

Where do we even begin?! Cat is an absolute superstar — and with her amazing fiancé Jordan by her side, they are the ultimate wedding-day dream team.
From day one, Cat was organiz...
ed, creative, and totally on top of everything. She somehow managed to take our vision and elevate it beyond anything we could have imagined. She made planning feel exciting instead of overwhelming (which is basically a superpower).
And on the wedding day? ICONIC. Cat was everywhere at once — fluffing dresses, cueing music, coordinating vendors, keeping us on schedule — all while staying calm, cool, and smiling. If there were any hiccups, we have zero clue because she handled it all like a pro.
And Jordan deserves a huge shoutout too! He jumped in wherever needed, helped keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, and brought such a positive, steady energy to the day. Watching the two of them work together was honestly impressive — you can tell they make an incredible team in every way.
Because of Cat and Jordan, we were able to fully relax, soak in every moment, and actually enjoy our wedding day without worrying about a single detail. That’s priceless.
If you’re considering hiring Cat — do it. Immediately. Your future self will thank you.
Cat & Jordan, we adore you and are forever grateful for making our fall wedding absolute perfection! 💛

Cat made my bridal shower absolutely beautiful and everything I could've asked for! She handled so many little details, and really tailored my event to match my personality. She's...
very thorough and detail oriented.
My wedding day was perfect and ran smoothly with her direction. I don't know what I would've done without her. I highly recommend and would book again in a heartbeat!
