We all have different beliefs. We have different passions and come from different cultures. We try to stay out of all things political and focus on providing the best possible service for our clients, but our hearts were pulled when we heard that one of our couples had been refused service because of their sexual orientation.  We understand, everyone has different beliefs, even within our company there is diversity. We support all couples who have decided to get married and feel that love is universal! It’s out job to treat our clients with the love and respect they deserve!

We know this is a hot topic. We don’t want to ruffle any feathers, but we do want to provide a list of Cake Bakers that we have found in Portland, Oregon that will provide cakes to anyone, regardless of their personal beliefs!

Love is blooming! One of our talented Lead Wedding Planners, Allison, is getting married in Portland, Oregon this summer!! We are so excited for her and Matt! As wedding planners, we are constantly wrapped up in wedding plans for other couples and it’s such a fun and unique experience to plan our own weddings! The hardest part about planning your wedding when you’re a wedding planner? That we know too many fabulous vendors, which makes choosing difficult!
