The Writer Behind Wonderful Words

I’m a journalist who publishes with outlets like AFAR, Artful Living, National Geographic, Condé Nast Traveler, and Eater, and who writes travel stories and guides for clients like Tripadvisor, Airbnb, REI and more. You can read more about me, my work, and how fun I am to work with (!) on my portfolio site.  

When we got married in 2023, my now-husband and I wanted to throw a fun party that gave everyone an excuse to have a great vacation in a destination close to our hearts. It meant so much that the people we love were traveling far and wide to celebrate with us. We wanted our guests to know just how much their presence meant to us and to have an absolutely awesome time in return.

I made that happen by doing what I do best—designing and communicating with the audience, our friends and family, in mind—and it ended up making all the difference. Not only did it ensure that our guests had a great time (our friends still talk about how fun and easy our wedding was!); most importantly, we got to actually enjoy our day because everything our guests needed was already taken care of, and everything they could have asked was already answered.

Family, friends, and friends of friends have since requested the same for their big days, so in 2026 I started Wonderful Words to offer guest-first concierge wedding communication to busy betrotheds (and their planners and coordinators) everywhere.
