About The Owner

Since I was a kid, while others dreamed of their big day, I was fascinated by planning weddings. At eleven, I pitched in to help my oldest sister with hers (with Mom's guidance, of course), and that's when I knew this was my calling—it perfectly matched the skills God gave me and how I could use them to help others. Wedding planning isn't just a job for me; it's where my passion and excitement come together perfectly. A favorite quote -

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve Jobs

Hey there, I'm Abby Church—a Certified Event Planner in Kansas City, deeply immersed in the wedding and event scene for over 14 years. I take pride in providing each client with thoughtful, creative, and enthusiastic service. Walking alongside our wonderful couples throughout their engagement, building friendships, and then witnessing their wedding days come to fruition is one of the most rewarding blessings I am honored to experience

I love collaborating with couples who prioritize having loved ones at their side during their special day. Planning the details like flowers, decor, stationery, and guest experiences fuels my creativity and logistics-loving brain. But my passion, and my 'why,' what truly resonates, are the people and their stories. Ultimately, it's the love and commitment of marriage that shines brightest, and the wedding day marks the start of our clients' beautiful journey together.

When I'm not busy crafting timelines, negotiating floor plans, or designing the perfect tablescape for my couples, you'll find me running a local networking group for wedding vendors in Kansas City, called Monthly Merriment. 


And free time? I’ll be enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. 
I cherish moments with my daughters, Everleigh and Charlotte. Current season of being a ‘girl mom’ - I’m learning the angles of being a soccer-mom and reconnecting with Barbie & Ken roots.  
I love cooking dinner with Mr. Church, and being involved with our church. 
To unwind from technology, I love refinishing furniture and hitting the gym.
