ABOUT CALIFORNIA MOMENTS

Flowers&Me_MaysWedding-236.jpg

Hello, I'm CM!

My path to becoming a wedding planner has been a journey of self-discovery, shaped by diverse roles and life experiences. Though I earned a degree in Environmental Science, my true passion for problem-solving, meticulous organization, thorough research, and my love of spreadsheets ultimately guided me into the world of Project Management and Operations. These roles allowed me to hone my skills in orchestrating complex endeavors, where every detail and moving part must align perfectly for timely and accurate execution. It was after planning my own wedding, leveraging the expertise I developed in the corporate world, that I realized I had finally found a career that resonates with me.

My academic background taught me about "confounding variables"—the unseen elements that can influence an outcome. This concept profoundly shifted how I approach planning and problem-solving. I believe it's crucial to not only pay attention to every detail, but to also anticipate and account for the interconnectedness of each element. When planning a wedding, understanding these minute intricacies and their potential ripple effects is essential to ensuring a flawless and joyful celebration.

I’m here to bring that unique blend of foresight, precision, and passion to your special day, ensuring that your wedding journey is as seamless and as beautiful as the California landscape itself.
