About
Hi there! I’m Liz, your wedding day bff.
An extroverted introvert, as type A as they come... I live for making everyone feel like a priority and laugh at my own jokes.
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was an ICU nurse and got to spend my days helping people. It felt like a dream. Until it... wasn't.
I absolutely loved helping some of the most critical patients heal and get back to their lives. And if you’re thinking, “that sounds like a lot of pressure…” It was, but I had a reputation for being calm, cool, and collected in even the most stressful situations. Over time, the pain of losing patients I had tried so hard to help just got to be too much. My escape came in the form of planning my own wedding. Not thinking much of it at first, people started talking about how great I was at it and after a little pushing from my now husband, I decided to dive in! I still get to problem solve on the fly, but now my days are filled with the type of joy and happiness that only exist in life’s biggest moments… like your wedding day! So rest assured. Wedding days aren’t life and death, but if they were, I could handle it!
Impossible to rattle.
And when I'm not planning weddings, I'm planning... everything else!
Sitting still is not something I do. Whether we're rounding up our friends to go camping up north or grabbing greasy burgers and mocktails at a local bar, we love spending time with our people. While I've always been the "mom" of the group and spoiled my dogs way too much (if that's even possible), since welcoming our daughter, Olive, in 2024, it feels like my heart doubled in size. The love I have for my friends, family, God, and my brides is even deeper. And I've become more grateful for the little things in life, like sipping homemade lattes or taking morning walks as the dew still glistens on the ground. Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me what we're doing... Nothing makes me happier than spending time with the people I love and helping you create lasting memories with the people you love.
Go-getter, cares deeply, current champion in husband & wife cribbage (sorry, Greyson)

MY REALLY OFFICIAL BIO, the TL;DR VERSION
I’m an ICU nurse turned wedding planner who thrives under pressure and is always thinking about two things: 1) how to serve my clients well & 2) where to find my next cheese curd.

Trusted lead planner
CJ Schmidt
You know that hushed excitement right before the bride walks down the aisle? That's her favorite part of a wedding day, but watching the couple have a blast on the dance floor with everyone they love is a close second.
When she's not keeping bridal parties on track, she can be found taking barre classes, eating crab rangoon, or snuggling with her chihuahua, Rocky, binging all things Kardashian...

Trusted lead planner
Molly Whalen
Before even joining the Dream Weddings team, Molly had attended 55 weddings, been a bridesmaid in 7, officiated 2, and was a MOH 4 times! She's clearly the kind of gal brides want in their corner - and after working with her, we can see why...
If she's not at a wedding soaking up the joy of a couple's first dance, you can find her reading true crime books or planning themed parties like Hanksgiving (a Tom Hanks Friendsgiving).
