Most planners will tell you what you want to hear.

I never saw the point in that.

My background is in luxury hospitality — specifically weddings and special events. My career developed but my passion stayed in the same place. I love seeing something through from start to finish, nailing the brief, and delivering beyond what was expected.

For years I worked as a venue coordinator. I was good at it. But I was limited by it.

I watched couples make decisions nobody had properly prepared them for. I saw planners advise on how a day should run without ever having experienced a wedding from the operational side — without understanding logistics, staffing, the realities of a running order that falls apart in practice.

Destination weddings exposed this most clearly. No single person thinking about the full picture. Transfers not booked. Suppliers scrambled. Nobody connecting it all.

So I decided to create my business around it.

Crown & Compass is built around one point of contact, complete honesty, and a commitment to giving couples the full picture — not just the pretty version.
Every decision, every cost, every consequence. Clearly.
So that when the day comes, nothing is a surprise.
