“A dear friend secured their services for me, helpful and a blessing are not big enough words to describe them. We had scheduled an outdoor venue for a party of 120 and at the last minute the weather did not cooperate. The changes, transitions and execution were perfect, not sure what we’d of done without them. What I find incredibly unique is they have a service to fit each individuals need and are beyond helpful and professional in doing so! Thank you so much!!”

“My fiancé and I attended the Wedding Planning Workshop hosted by Wedding Workshops & MORE. The event was super helpful. It relieved a huge amount of anxiety and stress off our hands as a newly engaged couple. We cannot thank Wedding Workshops enough for offering this unique opportunity. I would highly recommend the workshop for any recently engaged couple. We are looking forward to working with Wedding Workshops more as we continue to plan our event!“

“I had a GREAT experience with Missy and Angie! They helped me create an amazing décor plan for my wedding reception, which saved me tons of time and effort. They took every detail into consideration and I could not have pulled off such a sweet, comfortable and nice reception without their help. I highly recommend Wedding Workshop & MORE! They made me feel like I was getting help from friends rather than just a vendor.”

“Awesome experience for the modern bride.”

Several years ago, I had an idea that revolved around starting a wedding planning resource center but I didn’t act on it until a good friend of mine encouraged me to read a book called “You Are A Badass” by Jen Sincero. After reading the book, I knew I had to at least try, so I started researching what it would take to launch this business. During that process, the universe put Missy in my path and when she stepped into the picture, I knew we would be successful together. Leaving my 20+ year corporate job was the best decision I have ever made and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
When I’m not immersed in thoughts about the business, I am a mom of two awesome boys who are 16 and 10 so I know my way around a Nerf gun and can tell a killer fart joke. I also found the love of my life standing in line at a port-a-potty and we are now engaged (so I can relate to what you’re going through!). I pinch myself every day that I have such an amazing village of support from my family and friends and thank my lucky stars that this dream is coming true.

As a creative professional (and extreme crafter), I always dreamt of running an innovative and unique business. Insert Angie and her amazing business plan for Wedding Workshops & MORE. SOLD! I couldn’t believe a place like this didn’t exist and I had to be a part of creating it. We are on a mission of fun at WWM! I’m busy developing new workshops and collaborating with local artisans to keep bringing you more ways to learn the tools to make your events beautiful and uniquely yours.
I believe there are 3 key things to life – food, fam and fun!
I love and support the local STL restaurant scene. I heart Lona’s Lil Eats and I’ve never met a cake I didn’t like…mmmm! Being a mom is the hardest and best job I’ve ever had. I’m married to the king of dad jokes but I don’t mind because laughing is the most important exercise.
