How it all began...

From Frustration to Fulfillment: Why We Started To New Beginnings

Planning a wedding is supposed to be one of the most joyful and exciting times of your life — the promise of forever, the merging of families, the celebration of your love. But when my husband and I were planning our own wedding, it wasn’t all champagne toasts and happy tears. If we’re being honest, much of it felt stressful, frustrating, and — at times — even disappointing.

We found ourselves asking questions we never thought we’d have to ask:

• Why aren’t vendors calling us back?
• Why does it feel like we’re being talked down to when we’re the ones getting married?
• Why does no one seem to care about our story — about what we want?

From miscommunications to lack of follow-through, from cookie-cutter advice to vendors who clearly didn’t see us as people but as just another transaction — we walked away from our own wedding day happy to be married, but disappointed in how the planning journey had unfolded. We felt unseen, unheard, and like we had to fight for every bit of joy in the process.

That experience planted the seed for something bigger.

What if we could take everything we wished we had during that process — support, empathy, organization, someone who genuinely cared — and build something that would give future couples the kind of experience we had dreamed of?

And that’s when To New Beginnings was born.

Built From Experience, Fueled by Passion

We’re not just wedding planners — we’re a husband and husband duo who’ve been through it ourselves. We know what it feels like to get the runaround. We remember how it feels to be overwhelmed with decisions and unsure of who to trust. And we understand how important it is to have someone in your corner who treats your wedding with the love and attention it deserves.

That’s why every couple we work with is treated like family. We don’t do one-size-fits-all weddings. We listen. We learn your story. We help you navigate the overwhelm and make the process feel less like a job and more like the celebration it’s meant to be. Whether you're planning something grand or intimate, traditional or wildly creative, we're here to help bring it all together with calm, confidence, and care.

We believe in:

• Intentional planning — making decisions that reflect you, not trends.
• Transparent communication — no ghosting, no confusion, just clarity.
• Joyful experiences — because your engagement should feel just as special as your wedding day.
• Advocating for your vision — even when others don’t see it yet.

Why To New Beginnings?

We chose our name because that’s what a wedding really is — a fresh chapter, a leap into forever, a new beginning filled with hope and love. And we believe that the way you start matters.

When you hire us, you're not just checking a box on your to-do list — you're inviting us into one of the most meaningful seasons of your life. We don’t take that lightly. We’re here to protect your peace, preserve your joy, and make the planning process feel like an extension of your love story — not a distraction from it.
