Hi, I’m Ellen.
Nice to “meet” you! I’m an Associate Planner with JEM Events serving the greater Minneapolis area.
I’ve loved love stories for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent hours listening to my grandparents share stories from nearly 60 years of marriage. They taught me that a wedding is so much more than one beautiful day. It’s the beginning of a lifelong story.
Born and raised in Chicago, my own love story brought me to Minnesota. After having the privilege of serving JEM Events couples in Chicago, I’m so excited to now bring that same thoughtful, detail-driven planning experience to couples in my new(ish!) home.
Whether you’re newly engaged and not sure where to begin, deep in the planning process and ready for some extra support, or simply looking for someone you can trust to bring all the pieces together, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming up.
Ready to make it happen? Let’s get planning!
A special place in my heart…
While we’re always excited to work at new venues throughout the Metro, YMCA Camp St. Croix holds an especially meaningful place in my heart.
My partner, Nico, is Camp St. Croix’s Property Manager, and together we’re lucky enough to call this beautiful place home. It’s a setting I know not just as a wedding planner, but as a resident.
There’s something incredibly special about a wedding at Camp St. Croix. It gives couples the opportunity to create more than just a single-day celebration. It can become a full weekend filled with time together, beautiful surroundings, and meaningful moments with the people you love most.
As both a wedding planner and a member of the Camp St. Croix community, I’m passionate about helping couples make the most of everything this venue has to offer while creating a celebration that feels thoughtful, seamless, and completely their own.
Planning your wedding at Camp St. Croix? I’d love to help you bring it all together.
