We put the fun back in planning
ABOUT ATLAS AFFAIRS
As an island girl, I’ve never understood why we accept that wedding planning will be a stressful experience.
You should be spending your engagement celebrating with family and enjoying your relationship with your partner, not stressed over the logistics of organizing a reception on a remote beach or researching how to make your destination wedding legal.
Whether you’re getting married in a tropical paradise or not, that’s just not the island way. Yet, that’s what so many couples do.
But you aren’t most couples.
You - appreciate experiences over things and want to give your guests the best time ever.
You - love a unique venue like a garden, cool museum or being mountainside and oceanfront.
You - want to honor cultural & family traditions while mixing in a modern twist
You - want a wedding that is as cool and unique as you.
I’m so glad you’re here, because I don’t want to work with most couples. I want to work with you.

Wedding planning can take several months — so let’s get to know each other!
When you work with Atlas Affairs, you can expect us to live up to these core values.
Hospitality
We plan each event like it’s our own and treat each of your guests like they’re our friends and family. “Empathetic service with a smile” for a 5-star experience is our focus.
Inclusivity
We love working with all couples regardless of their sexuality, ethnicity, gender, abilities, age, and more. Anyone who feels otherwise can’t truly say they work in hospitality.
Community
Collaboration and community is important to us. From giving back a portion of all bookings to charity, being a good team player and hiring and shopping locally.
Transparency
We’re all about keeping it real — whether that’s through the advice we give, transparently pricing our fees, avoiding hidden commissions, and passing on discounts from other wedding professionals to you.
The start of something magical
Laidback-luxury, epic parties and meaningful moments are our jam.
While our timelines and checklists are meticulous our process is far from fussy.
The best wedding advice we can give you is to hire a wedding planner you connect with.
So let’s chat and see if we are a match!
