Hi, I’m Brandi! I’m the owner and principal planner behind Celebrations by Brandi, and I genuinely love what I do. I love creating beautiful celebrations, but even more than that, I love people. I love getting to know my couples, hearing their stories, and helping bring their vision to life.

Before becoming a wedding planner, I was a teacher for 14 years. That experience shaped me as a planner in so many ways—I learned how to communicate with all kinds of people, stay calm when things don’t go according to plan, pay attention to the details, and genuinely care about the people I’m serving.

I’m also a compulsive list-maker, detail enthusiast, and calm-under-pressure kind of person, so wedding planning is pretty much my natural habitat. Outside of weddings, I’m a wife and mom to two adorable little kids. I love sunshine, anywhere with water, camping, and pretty much any arts-and-crafts project I can get my hands on. Right now, I’m obsessed with Christmas wreaths and flower arranging. And if you ever see me at a wedding as a guest, you’ll probably find me on the dance floor—I’m a self-proclaimed professional dancer when I’m off the clock.

I’m a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo alum, earned my graduate degree from LMU, and volunteer at my church. My faith is an important part of who I am, and as I plan your wedding, I’ll be praying for your marriage, too.

And one fun fact that probably tells you a lot about me: I planned my own wedding in two months. Yes, two months! It taught me that wedding planning requires organization, flexibility, a lot of lists, and the ability to keep your head when things don’t go exactly as planned.

That’s the kind of planner my team will be for you: organized, calm, detail-oriented, experienced, and genuinely invested in your people and your celebration.
