Tell me if this is you:
(And you need it to be someone who just gets you.)
Someone who won’t shove you into a wedding-industry-shaped box. Someone who thinks your quirky couple things are rad and who celebrates your love equally and who will question the patriarchy along the way with you.
Oh yeah, and someone who maybe has done this a few times before.
Together, we can plan the YOU-est wedding there ever could be – and we’ll probably even have fun doing it.
Hi, I’m Cindy, your queer feminist wedding planner and secular wedding officiant. I help independent, feminist, and LGBTQ+ couples like you plan meaningful weddings without all of the stress!
I’m based in Seattle (my new town), Portland (my favorite place to visit), and St. Louis (my hometown) – but I love to travel so much that it’s included for the entire continental US in all of my wedding coordination packages!
I offer a wide range of services from full-service, start-to-finish wedding planning and design to my signature wedding management (a.k.a. “day-of-coordination”) package to wedding planning subscriptions for DIY-ers, plus a la carte options you can mix and match to build a package that works for you.
If you want to plan with me, I’ve got something that will fit your needs and your budget. Plus, with modern technology (and COVID, ugh), I’m a mostly virtual wedding planner – so we can work together no matter where you or your wedding are located.
This year, I’ve added one more thing: officiating! I am so jazzed about writing custom ceremonies that incorporate your personalities and your values, without all the religious, patriarchal bullshit. And of course, they’re super inclusive to my LGBTQ+ community, too.
Enough about me, though – let’s talk about YOU!
Dramatic, hazy entrances, silent wedding vows, 234 air plants and not a white wedding gown in sight. When I say that I love planning offbeat and alternative weddings, Hazel and Jeremy’s wedding at Union/Pine in Portland is exactly the kind of party that I’m talking about. It’s been months and I still can’t get enough of the witchy vibe or their vintage, boho vision
You know how, in the business world, there’s an impossible standard for women? That one where if you’re too nice, you’re a pushover who can’t get the job done and if you’re getting shit done, you’re mislabeled aggressive and routinely called a bitch? While – at the exact same time in the exact same company – men doing the exact same things are called assertive and seen as leaders?
We have that in weddings, too. There’s an impossible standard here, but what it boils down to is this:
One of my favorite parts of this wedding was how colorful everything was. From the deeply saturated hues in their DIY flowers to their multicolor ribbon backdrop and bunting to the rainbow ribbon wands we set out for guests and the sprinkles on their cake, you couldn’t look in any direction without being smacked by colors!! The wedding party was decked out in shades of gray – the only muted color in sight – and their bold bouquets and boutonnieres really popped.
