The person behind Prologue
I found my way into the world of events during college, working for my university’s arts and entertainment department to produce large-scale concerts and productions. I graduated with a degree in International Studies and a minor in Event Planning, and spent my summers working for a wedding planner — which is where I fell in love with love.
Over the past twelve years, I’ve built a well-rounded background in events. I’ve planned weddings in hotels, country clubs, aquariums, and large-scale venues hosting hundreds of celebrations a year. I’ve also worked as a florist, which honed my design eye and taught me how to create beauty with intention.
In 2022, I founded Prologue Events to bring all of that experience together. I believe weddings aren’t performances — they’re moments to pause, gather your favorite people, and celebrate that you found someone to walk through life with. My goal is to create weddings that feel natural, thoughtful, and deeply personal. Also, I love a good aesthetic!

A little bit more about me.
Prologue is a one-woman operation at its core, which means you always have my full attention, my voice, and my care behind every detail. But you’re never on your own, and neither am I.
After seven years in the Seattle wedding world, I’ve built a trusted network of independent planners, assistants, and event professionals who step in seamlessly whenever extra support is needed. Whether your event calls for additional coordination coverage, design setup, or a just-in-case backup, I have the right people ready to go.
So while I’ll be your main point of contact from start to finish, you’ll always have a reliable, well-prepared team behind the scenes—no matter what.

Futurism
You can put as many or as few as you want in your world. I like to talk to trees and animals. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care. Go out on a limb — that’s where the fruit is. Go out on a limb — that’s where the fruit is. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things?

Impressionism
Beauty is everywhere—you only have to look to see it. Just relax and watch it happen. This is your world. Like I always say, ‘Everyone needs a friend. Wash the brush, just beat the devil out of it. You can move mountains, you can do anything. Go out on a limb — that’s where the fruit is. Wash the brush, just beat the devil out of it. Just relax and watch it happen.

Maybe in our world there lives a happy little tree over there. All you need to paint is a few tools, a little instruction, and a vision in your mind. We don’t laugh because we feel good, we feel good because we laugh. Just beat the devil out of it. We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care. Just let go — and fall like a little waterfall. Believe that you can do it cause you can do it. Be a gentle whisper.

Our wedding day was seamless thanks to Philadelphia. She handled coordination efforts with our vendors, decor set up, and all the small details we had no idea even went into a wedding. She also made sure we had bites to eat while getting our photographs (bless her!). My husband and I truly did not have to think of anything other than getting married and enjoying the night! We'd recommend Philadelphia/Prologue Events 1000% over - her eye for detail and style is impeccable and she really takes care of her couples.

Philadelphia was the perfect addition to our wedding vendor team! It’s easy to get lost in the wedding weeds with jargon and expensive decisions and from the start Philadelphia met us with humor and warmth. She reminded us we were the bride and groom but to still be ourselves and to choose what was important to us, not just what is standard! She is extremely organized, has an amazing system in place with reminders and tools to use and will quickly answer questions and concerns with creative solutions. She executed our décor and design vision perfectly. The goal was to have a carefree wedding day, and Philadelphia nailed that! We received so many comments that this was the “Chillest wedding” and that the “flow” was relaxed and natural. The smooth ride was all thanks to Philadelphia! I highly recommend working with her!!

Philadelphia was absolutely amazing and the key to our perfect day! She was with us every step of the way with planning, answering questions, and helping with anything we could've possibly needed. On the day of the wedding, my husband and I were able to focus solely on each other and our guests since she made sure everything was taken care and the timeline was running smoothly! I cannot recommend her enough!
