About Us
Rebecca - Founder, Senior Planner, Lead Designer, Floral Designer
I began my career as a wedding planner in 2007, a few years after planning my own wedding, and completing training through the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants. My detail oriented personality and organization skills helped to play big part in discovering this passion. When I am not planning weddings I am camping by a lake and paddleboarding with my dog and my daughter. I love traveling to new places, my favorite place I've traveled to is Hawaii.
-Favorite part of a wedding day: When I fluff the bride's train and send her down the aisle to meet her groom, because then I can take a deep breath and enjoy the moment we have all gathered for; to witness two people's love for each other.
-I love all types of weddings but my favorite location is with a mountain view
-Favorite flower - Iris
-Favorite color - Purple
-Fun fact about me - I am a pescatarian (only eat fish), and I once had 5 pet rats

You know what’s super cool? Looking back at a journal from your 12 year old self, and seeing that you’re living your childhood dream of being a wedding planner. I have been in the wedding industry since 2006, starting first as a full time wedding photographer. Since then, I have never missed a wedding season, whether as a planner, photographer, or videographer. I love the creativity that it takes to put together a personalized event as grand as a wedding. My personality compliments the wedding world by being organized and fun, while being hard working and easy going. I think every wedding day needs someone who can read the room, find problems before they start, and fix them without getting overwhelmed. I joined the Wedding Expectations team at the end of 2019, with previous experience at another planning company. I live in Eagle Mountain with my husband, 4 kids, and bulldog. We love to travel and find little towns that are off the beaten path.

I began my career with the Event Planning program at Salt Lake Community College and joined the Wedding Expectations team in 2019. I live in Saratoga Springs with my husband and 3 kids.

Kristi- Assistant planner
I love everything about event planning; bringing people together to celebrate and creating an environment that is reflective of the personality of those being celebrated, along with their unique design and occasion that brings them together, turning their dreams into reality! Weddings are my favorite to plan, the ultimate celebration of love and joy in every detail. I love to work hard, problem solve, stay organized, and most of all, I’m happiest when everyone is having fun.
I found my passion for decorating and floral at a young age. I joined Wedding Expectations in 2017, taking a break to care for my aging parents, but returning again for the love of weddings! I live in Layton with my amazing husband, two daughters and two dogs.
