“Oh, you’re a wedding planner? Planning your own wedding must have been so easy for you!” I cannot tell you how many times I heard that phrase over the past two years. Well, let me tell you that as a professional wedding planner, planning my own wedding was still quite the experience.

After 27 years of searching for my soulmate and being a complete hopeless romantic, I have absolutely loved being able to put my heart and passion into planning weddings. Listening and getting to know our couples to be able to make their dreams and story shine through in their perfect wedding day.

Three years ago we started Take A Seat solely as a chiavari chair rental company. As much as we love chiavari chairs, lets be honest, this was never our passion. We had high hopes of one day turning our little chair business into an event planning company, using the chairs as our stepping-stone.
