Kelsey Rae angelotti - Owner + Lead designer
I was born and raised a California girl, with a bad case of wanderlust and the burning desire to lay some roots overseas. I’m a firm believer that Paris is always a good idea. You may find me walking my sweet pup along the strand in Carlsbad or patiently waiting in line at Handels Ice Cream, because Oree Dough is worth it EVERY time. Oh, and I’m a self-proclaimed connoisseur of sangria and donuts. Need I say more?
My passion for design fuels me to create, challenge myself, and ultimately pull off some insanely pretty weddings and events! Getting to know my couples + their love story is the best part of my job. And I secretly get super excited when we all become best friends!
Anthropologie could literally consume me. Nicholas Sparks novels fuel the hopeless romantic in me. Flowers make my heart happy. And quaint coffee shops are my thing.
I am an HGTV addict, an avid Madewell shopper and a traveler. I am also obsessed with my sweet labradoodle pup, Luna, who you can help make insta famous at @heyitslunathelabradoodle!
I am a believer in Christ. My soul was forever touched by the trafficked women I got to meet and work with on a missions trip to Fiji. It was there that I knew I wanted to help women learn their self-worth and know what healthy relationships are all about.
I value love… simply, everything that encompasses love.
So enough about me, I can’t wait to hear about you!

our team
Courtney heath - Orange County/ Los Angeles Coordinator
We are so excited to have Courtney on our team as our OC/LA Coordinator! While her main focus is this area, she also takes wedding in Temecula + San Diego, as well as a few destination weddings each year.
She has a heart of gold + loves getting to know our couples! Her favorite part of a wedding day is tied for when the groom first sees his bride, as well as the grand entrance, because you can really feel allllll the love in the room.
She is OCD in all the best ways and will keep you organized throughout the planning process. Her problem solving skills will make it so that you have zero worries on the biggest day of your life!
Courtney has coordinated 200+ weddings and is basically a wedding planner rockstar/guru/girl boss. She’s worked in this industry for over 10 years + we’re lucky to have snagged her up!
She’s the sweetest + we know you will all love her!
A few other random facts: Pinot Grigio is her go to, but she also love a refreshing Moscow Mule. Her hobbies include puppy lovin’ (her three pups are her children haha) and perusing Home Goods for more goodies to add to her home. She’ll also never turn down wine tasting (a girl after my own heart!), so we knew she’d fit right in. You can learn a little more about her here!

whitney Graham - Temecula Coordinator
Whitney was born to be a part of your wedding day + we are so lucky to have her as our Temecula Coordinator. She’s been on our team for the last couple of years, assisting and learning all the in’s + out’s of the industry! She’s since stepped into this role as Temecula Coordinator and we know she’s going to make her couples THE happiest.
She absolutely kills it day of! Her calm, sweet personality will keep you sane through all the crazy planning. She’s beyond organized and will keep you on track!
Her favorite part of a wedding day is talking with the bride and father of the bride right before they walks down the aisle (she loves those FOB emotions). She has the fanciest tastebuds on our team with her fav cocktail being a French 75. She is truly consumed by wanderlust (gosh, the challenge of forever chasing that next vaca!). She loves traveling with her hubby and spending time with her Old English Bulldog that's seriously the cutest ever! You’re going to absolutely love Whitney!
Morgan Wessells - san diego Coordinator
Morgan is a ray of sunshine! She’s got a heart of gold + the sweetest personality… you can’t help but fall in love with her the second you meet her!
She’s been in the wedding industry for nearly 10 years, working at venues such as The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Hilton Mission Valley + Wiens Winery. She knows the hotel + catering side of things so well and is beloved by all the vendors in our community!
From the second you chat with her, you’ll feel like you’ve been friends forever. She’ll be your advocate through the planning process + keep you organized and on track for the big day.
Her favorite moment of a wedding is the first look. There’s something so intimate, precious and magical about seeing your partner for the first time. Taking every inch of each other in with no one around, cherishing every second of that little quiet time you have - exchanging secret words and I love you’s, and sharing a few hugs, giggles and tears before you continue on one of the busiest, most special days of your life.
We love Morgan + are so lucky to have her as our San Diego Coordinator!
Kelsey Waldon - assistant
Kelsey is such a refreshing soul to be around on the wedding day! She lightens the mood during stressful situations and stays calm + positive throughout the day. She’s the fastest napkin folder around + the the best dress fluffer there is. She has the biggest heart and we’re so lucky our brides get to have her by their side on the biggest day of their life! She’s the best!
