Owner and Lead Coordinator

Founder & Owner | Pretty Little Vows

Hi, I'm Shayla! The heart, vision, and very proud owner behind Pretty Little Vows.

What started as a passion while planning my own wedding quickly became something so much bigger than I ever imagined. I founded Pretty Little Vows with one simple belief: every couple deserves to feel genuinely cared for, supported, and completely present on one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

I'm a wife, a mama to two beautiful boys, and someone who believes the smallest details often create the most unforgettable moments.

To me, wedding coordination is about so much more than schedules, vendors, and perfectly placed details. It's about the quiet moments before you walk down the aisle, the happy tears from your parents, the laughter shared with your closest friends, and the memories you'll carry long after the celebration ends.

As the owner of Pretty Little Vows, I've poured my heart into building a team that leads with professionalism, kindness, confidence, and genuine love for what we do. We believe exceptional service should feel effortless, personal, and intentional.

My greatest goal isn't simply to coordinate a beautiful wedding. It's to create an experience where you feel heard, valued, and completely at ease, knowing that every detail is being handled with care.

Because at Pretty Little Vows, you're never just another wedding on our calendar. You're a love story we're honored to be a small part of.

With love,
Shayla

Meet the Pretty Little Vows Team!

I love weddings because I enjoy helping bring the whole vision of the day together! There are so many special memories made throughout a wedding day, and I love getting to help things run smoothly so our couples can simply enjoy them.

My favorite part is the morning of the wedding, when everyone is getting ready, hanging out, and soaking in those moments before all the guests arrive!

Assistant Wedding Coordinator

Hi, I'm Jasmine!
I've always loved weddings because I love love! There's something so beautiful about watching two people choose each other and celebrate the beginning of a new chapter together. I love the happiness, the little emotional moments, the flowers, the beautiful details, and most of all, the genuine love that fills the room.

Weddings remind me that love is something worth celebrating, and I think there's something truly magical about getting to be part of such a special day.

A Few Things About Me
I grew up on a farm and have always had a big love for animals and the outdoors.
I'm a proud mama!
You'll almost always see me with a Dr Pepper in my hand.
My favorite part of a wedding day is seeing the love between the couple and all the little moments that make their day so special.
When I'm not at weddings, I love spending time with my friends and family, camping, fishing, exploring new places, and enjoying nature.
I'm easygoing, adventurous, and happiest when I'm outside making memories.

I love weddings because I get to see a couple share their love with all the people they care most about. They put so much time and effort into making this day so special, and I feel so honored to be a part of it! My favorite part is after the ceremony when you see the nerves and stress the couple have disappear and they get to fully enjoy the rest of the night!
