Meet the Crew
We're not just here to coordinate your wedding.
We're here to celebrate with you.
We'll be the ones reminding you to eat, handing you tissues before the tears start, fluffing your dress one more time, making sure your vendors are exactly where they need to be, and quietly solving problems before you ever know they existed.
We'll laugh with you, cry with you, hype you up before you walk down the aisle, and probably dance a little while we're cleaning up at the end of the night.
Because to us, you're never "just another wedding."
For one day, we're part of your story...
...and that's something we'll never take for granted. 🤍
A Few Things About Me
🤍 Wife to my best friend, Andrew
👶 Mama to two amazing boys
📍 Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and always ready to travel
☕ Coffee is basically a love language
📋 My emergency kit is basically a small convenience store
✨ I believe every couple deserves to feel completely cared for
💍 My favorite weddings moment are those few quiet seconds before the bride walks down the aisle. The chaos has settled. The music begins. Everything goes silent. She takes a deep breath, and for just a moment, the world stands still. It's the last moment she's simply a bride... before she becomes someone's wife. Then the doors open, everyone turns to look, and she makes her grand entrance. I get goosebumps every single time.

Hi, I'm Aurora!
Being part of Pretty Little Vows has given me the opportunity to help couples experience one of the happiest days of their lives, and there's nothing more rewarding than watching months of planning come together into one unforgettable celebration.
I love being part of a team that's dedicated to creating a calm, stress free experience for every couple, and I feel so honored to play a small part in such an important day.

Meet Emma!
Emma recently made the move from South Dakota to the Cedar Rapids area with her husband, and the two recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary at one of their favorite lakes in northern Minnesota. When she's not coordinating weddings, you'll probably find her with an iced coffee in hand, taking a walk, teaching Pilates, or finding a new way to stay active outdoors.
After spending a year and a half planning her own wedding, Emma discovered that she genuinely loved every part of the process. From organizing timelines to perfecting all the little details, she realized her calm, detail oriented personality was exactly what couples need on such an important day. The incredible support she received from her own wedding coordinator inspired her to help create that same stress free, joyful experience for others.
Emma's favorite part of a wedding day is the getting ready portion. She loves watching the excitement build as hair and makeup are finished, the dress goes on, and all the little details come together. But nothing compares to the moment the bride walks down the aisle. It still gives her goosebumps every single time.
Fun Fact:
Emma is a certified Pilates instructor and loves practicing yoga! Helping others feel strong, confident, and their very best is something she's passionate about both inside and outside of weddings.
