Q: What makes A Greater Plan special?
A: Owner and staff at A Greater Plan have a heart to serve, at the core of all of our actions. It is our desire to make sure every bride feels that she is especially unique, and important to us. Though we approach every challenge with confidence and creativity, our egos don't get in the way, because we conscienciously choose an attitude of service over self.

Here's a good one: on accident, the dj put in a Quiet Riot cd that he'd been listening to earier in the day, and cued it for the processional. Thankfully, the bride and groom loved to rock & roll, so had a laugh while the dj frantically changed music!

I'm an artist. In my off time, I paint, sculpt, sketch, sew, jewlery design... the creative possibilties are endless. Helping create events has become a huge part of expressing myself artistically. I particularly love the design stage of a wedding, or any other party/event. Pulling together colors, textures, shapes and themes that reflect the client's goals is exciting and gratifying. What an awesome job I have!

As a Planner, I can't live without my "Situation Kit". This is a handy carry-all filled with last minute wedding-first-aid items; floral wire, safety pins, thread & needle, clear nail polish, mints, lotion, band-aids, tweezers, extra pantyhose... you won't believe all the helpful bits & bobs in that stainless steel case! I don't know how Jennifer Lopez ("The Wedding Planner" movie) managed w/ just that skimpy, little apron.
As a human being, I can't live without love & chocolate, preferrably at the same time.

I've also received professional art-design awards.

Most any Dark Chocolate: I'm particularly fond of vanilla w/ dark chocolate Dove Ice Cream Bars & Chukar Black Forest Cherries.

Any well produced story that makes me laugh a lot, cry a little and feel uplifted in the end... the same way I want to live my life! I adore "Funny Face", with Audrey Hepburn, when I just need a pick me up.

P.S. I have an 13-year-old son, so, have to admit, we loved Transformers (the movies, 1, 2 & 3).

Well, that's seems a little too personal. My husband is sweet, handsome and I'm crazy about him... that's what I remember most about our 2 week beach-side get-away.

Bono, Carly (from theknot.com), David Tutera, Maya Angelou, C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkein, & the big J.C. (gotta wait until the afterlife for these last 3).

We have a goofy little dog. He looks like Toto after a run in with a bottle of bleach-me-blond peroxide. Our cat is pewter gray w/ silvery feet & face. He's one of my favorite Christmas presents EVER!

It would be a dream to have a little summer apartment on the North-West Coast of Italy. I'd plan small events, or work in hotel management &, maybe, teach some English classes. I am of Italian descent, spent a handful of days there, one glorious Spring, and it felt like home-away-from-home.
