Below you will find out a little bit more about me and this community. Everyone’s invited and I can’t wait to have you!
Maybe you found this page via my TikTok where I love to scream about Vogue weddings, my wedding, and real weddings that you have submitted to me. Perhaps you’re also obsessed with that very specific feeling that can only be conjured when watching a Nancy Meyers movie, or a Nora Ephron classic like When Harry Met Sally. Maybe these movies lead you down a rabbit hole of interior design, maybe they lead you to The Hamptons with The Barefoot Contessa. Whatever the case may be, they led you here and I am grateful!
About Me
I am a magazine girl at heart. Growing up, I didn’t feel very cool, but magazines were my window into what was. I devoured American Girl Magazine first, then worked my way up to Elle Girl, Teen Vogue, Seventeen and Cosmopolitan. These publications helped me explore my personal style, my humor, and often answered questions I was too embarrassed to ask out loud. My mom was a religious subscriber to Sunset Magazine, Cottage Living, and Martha Stewart Magazine. Even when I was young I enjoyed flipping through them with her, and watching the seasons change by way of the expertly styled covers.
When I got engaged in the summer of 2021, I felt an all too familiar pang of embarking on a supposedly monumental journey that I knew very little about. My parents had a very small wedding in 1990 and I am the oldest sibling. This was uncharted territory for us all. But if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s a deep dive. I turned to magazines once again, this time in the form of Vogue Weddings. Endlessly scrolling through the most extravagant celebrations with seemingly unlimited budgets, I started to look for the things that I could learn and borrow. If I did enough research, could I throw a wedding that even slightly resembled these functions? I was overflowing with ideas and what felt like insider information by way of the rich and fabulous who were featured in Vogue, spilling all their secrets in the captions. And then I started talking about them on the internet.
Our wedding was by all accounts (okay, maybe just my account), a huge success. I will forever be incredibly happy with how it turned out and sometimes I cannot believe what we pulled off.
What is Let’s Party?
I want this page to be a modern magazine with a focus on hosting. And we’re going to figure out what exactly that means together!
If you just got engaged and you’re spiraling, I want to hold your hand and help you dive in.
If you have burning questions or want advice about anything from guest lists to your registry, I hope and dream that this will be a place you can come and we can all share our thoughts and ideas for you.
If your wedding is over and you’ve sunken into a slight depression that’s surprising and maybe scaring you/your spouse, guess what? That’s okay and we can talk about it.
Maybe you are standing in your apartment or new home looking around and not loving what you see or feel. We can make a mood board for that!
Life is full of all types of parties and I want to help you throw them. Whether it’s a wedding for 200 people, a cozy dinner party with your close friends, or a romantic date night on your 6x6 apartment patio without a view. There’s almost always a reason to celebrate.

You know how when you throw a party and the invite says 7:30pm but most people don’t show up until 10pm? You’re my really good friend who comes at 7:30 and helps establish the vibe. Thank you!
Let’s live the romantic comedy we imagined when we were little. Let’s party!
So very excited! I just got engaged this June and I have loved following you! I am also not very good at party planning/ hosting/ design…. Looking forward to it all! ♥️
Yaaaay, thanks for making me feel special. You're the best! I just KNOW this will be a success.
