  • Jenny Lynn

    OWNER & LEAD PLANNER

    Hi, my name is Jenny! I am originally from Charlotte, NC but relocated to the Chattanooga area after my husbands time in the Air Force. I have been planning events since 2019 and always dreamt of doing what I do now full-time. After planning my best friend’s bachelorette, my passion for the wedding industry was ignited. The engagement season is such a sweet time in your life and guiding you through this process is truly such an honor. My approach to the wedding day is to bring order and positivity to your day! I will be your biggest cheerleader and best friend throughout the planning process and on your wedding day!

    When I am not working weddings or events, you can find me spending time with my husband and our sweet rescue pup. We love to go on walks, visit breweries and try new restaurants. I am also a huge Trader Joes and reality TV fan. Love is Blind, anyone?

    Fun fact: My background is in elementary education. I taught 1st and 2nd grade for six years! Teaching and event planning have so many parallels and I truly believe my career in education has helped me tremendously in my current role.

  • Dr. Evan Lynn

    OFFICIANT & PREMARITAL COACH

    Hi, my name is Evan! I am originally from Grand Rapids, Michigan, but have lived all over the place due to my time in the Air Force. Marriage is a union that should not be entered into lightly. I am here to help prepare you for this next journey in our life by promoting discussion around important topics like finances, family, communication and much more. My goal is to keep your wedding ceremony fun, vibrant, meaningful, and unique-to-you as a couple. Your ceremony should not sound like every other ceremony you have attended- it should be customized to your love story!

    When I am not officiating or coaching, you can find me spending time with my wife and our dog, PJ. I love to workout, read, and spend time with friends.

    Fun fact: I am certified craft beer brewer. I love making West Coast IPA’s and sharing them with friends.

  • Kelsey Sue Stroop

    LEAD COORDINATOR

    Hello, my name is Kelsey Sue! I grew up right here in the Chattanooga area and have enjoyed living here most of my life. I have been in the wedding industry since 2014 and one of my favorite things about this industry is watching a wedding come together and witnessing a couple's most memorable day come to life. My approach on the wedding day is to bring a calm demeanor while making sure every detail aligns with the couple's vision for their special day.

    In my personal life, I cherish moments spent with my loving husband and toddler. My ideal day involves spending time outside or going on any adventure which is a family favorite. When it comes to dining, I'm always eager to explore new local restaurants and coffee shops, finding inspiration in the flavors and ambiance.

    Fun fact: Instead of settling into a traditional home after we got married, my husband and I bought an RV and set out on a three-year journey across the country, gaining invaluable experiences that enrich my perspective as a wedding planner.
