HAPPY THURSDAY friends and followers!

We are beyond to share all the details on our next Preferred business! Katlin Marie Sexton is there for you from start to finish!! She is so sweet and always goes above and beyond for her clients! Here is a little bit about her business!

Hey y’all! I’m Katlin, the owner of KM & Co. Events. What started as a simple love for weddings and life’s most meaningful moments has grown into the biggest dream I’ve ever had. These days, I get to spend my time surrounded by love stories and celebrating some of the most important milestones folks will ever experience… and truth be told, I still have to pinch myself that this is my job.

When I’m not busy with KM & Co., I’m a Tennessee girl through and through, a proud Type-A who truly loves a well-planned timeline, a devoted Taylor Swift fan, and always happy to trade a night out for a cozy evening in with my dog.

I couldn’t be more proud of how far this little dream of mine has come, and I’m deeply grateful for every couple who’s trusted me with their big day. That kind of trust means more to me than words can say.

Whether you’re just starting your planning journey or realizing you could use a little extra support closer to the big day, I’m here for it. You can book me as early as the beginning stages of planning or as close as six weeks before your wedding day. No matter when you bring me in, my goal is the same — to step in, bring calm to the chaos, and help everything come together beautifully.

Long story short, I’m your wedding-day bestie, hype woman, calm-in-the-storm, and whatever else you need me to be. I’m here to settle the chaos, protect your vision, and make sure the celebration never misses a beat.

No pressure at all, but whenever you’re ready to join the KM & Co. family, I’ll be right here with open arms… and a glass of champagne waiting just for you.

HAPPY THURSDAY!

Our next small business on our list is none other than julie.magicexpeditions !! Bridesssss, looking for an effortless honeymoon planner look no further than her, she is absolutely beyond amazing!

Here is a little bit about Julie& her small business!

Hi everyone, I’m Julie! I was born and raised in Columbia and now live in Waterloo with my husband and our dog, Scout. I was a Lux Bride myself back in 2023, and I LOVED working with Erika and her team. Since 2019, I have been a travel agent for a local agency, Magic Expeditions, and while we specialize in Disney Destinations, I love planning any and all travel and would love to help with your honeymoon or any future trips! Magic Expeditions is an “Earmarked” agency, meaning Disney recognizes our agency as authorized Disney travel planners, but I am also trained and well-versed in All-Inclusive Resorts, Cruise Lines, Universal Studios, River Cruising, and more! I’ve expertly booked and planned countless honeymoons to various locations (including my own honeymoon to Cancun!), and I would love to help take something off of your already very busy wedding planning plate. The destination you choose compensates me for helping you have an unforgettable trip, so when you book through me, my services are 100% FREE to you; there are no extra or hidden costs or fees! For more information, please feel free to contact me:
