My background in design, paired with my original career as a Certified Public Accountant has proven to be an unexpected advantage. Pardon the pun, but it truly is the perfect marriage of left and right brain. I delight in creating refined, story driven celebrations, while my obsessively organized and detail-oriented side allows me to anticipate problems before they arise and answer questions before they are asked.
I deeply value the relationships we build with each of our couples. Those connections are what allow us to recognize and incorporate the tiny touches that are intentional and meaningful into your wedding day — going far beyond trends.
I believe that these things combined with honest communication, hard work, kindness, respect, and a little dab of Southern charm that results in celebrations that feel effortless in the moment and leave lasting impressions for a lifetime.
IT ONLY SEEMED NATURAL FOR ME TO PIVOT MY INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS
INTO THE WORLD OF
WEDDING PLANNING —
where design, hospitality, and meaningful moments intersect.
My love for hosting began long before weddings, back in the days of childhood tea parties and any excuse to gather people together. As the years went on, that instinct never faded. If there was a celebration to plan, I was all in.
Dabney has earned her place as one of the most trusted and respected wedding planners in the Southeast.

get to know
— Dabney
The first is when the couple walks back down the aisle together, just after the ceremony. There’s an unspoken “we did it” between them — a quiet pause filled with joy, relief, and the excitement of everything that still lies ahead. It’s the instant their celebration truly begins.
The second comes at the very end of the night, just before they’re cheered off by their nearest and dearest. It’s bittersweet, marking the close of our journey together. We hug, and in that moment, I can always tell — this is when it truly sinks in. Their vision came to life. Their dream became real.
I could never choose just one — but there are two moments that never fail to stay with me.
