About
Hi! We’re John and Johnny—husbands, best friends, and the duo behind To New Beginnings.
We’ve been together for nearly 11 years and married for the last two. Our own wedding was one of the most meaningful and magical days of our lives—but it didn’t come without its challenges. Like many couples, we hired a wedding planner to help guide the process. Unfortunately, our experience was far from what we’d hoped for. He was unorganized, dismissed our ideas, and often pushed his own vision instead of listening to ours.
That frustrating experience was a turning point for us. It made us realize two powerful things: we knew what we wanted all along, and we could absolutely make it happen ourselves. That moment lit a fire in us—to create the kind of intentional, elevated service we wish we’d had. And that’s exactly what we now offer to every couple we work with.
We pour our hearts into each wedding we plan, especially for our brides and grooms who come to us with excitement and big dreams. Nothing brings us more joy than collaborating with you to bring those dreams to life—with grace, creativity, and care.
Based in downtown Salt Lake City, we specialize in weddings that are timeless, elegant, and deeply personal. Whether you're envisioning a grand ballroom celebration or an intimate mountain ceremony, we’re here to make it happen—beautifully, joyfully, and stress-free.
Here’s to your New Beginning. We can’t wait to celebrate with you.
With love,
John & Johnny
Founders of To New Beginnings

Dream Wedding Brought to Life!!
From the very first meeting, John and Johnny made us feel seen, heard, and completely taken care of. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but with them by our side, it became an exciting, joyful experience. They took our vision and elevated it beyond anything we could’ve imagined — every detail was intentional, elegant, and deeply personal. Their professionalism is unmatched, but what truly sets them apart is how much heart they pour into their work. They weren’t just planners; they were part of the magic — calming every stress, solving problems before we even knew they existed, and cheering us on through every step of the process. Our wedding day was truly the best day of mine and my wife’s life — seamless, beautiful, and full of love. So much of that is thanks To New Beginnings. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels like you, but better than you ever pictured, these are your people & your go-to business. We are forever grateful for the magic they were able to create just from our simple vision.

Working with John and Johnny and To New Beginnings was truly the best decision we made while planning our wedding. From the very beginning, they were calm, organized, and completely in tune with our vision. I felt so supported every step of the way—and my husband, who was a little overwhelmed by the idea of wedding planning, kept saying how relaxed and confident he felt knowing everything was in such good hands.
They thought of every little detail, handled all the moving parts, and made the entire day run seamlessly. We were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment together. I genuinely can’t imagine our wedding without them. If you’re looking for someone who brings peace, creativity, and heart to the process—this is it.New Paragraph

Working with John & Johnny and To New Beginnings was one of the best choices we made. From day one, they made the entire process feel easy and stress-free. I’ll be honest—I wasn’t super into the idea of planning at first, but they made it actually enjoyable.
They really listened to what we both wanted and made sure every detail reflected us. On the wedding day, everything went so smoothly—we didn’t have to worry about a thing. We were able to just show up, be present, and enjoy every moment. It was exactly what we hoped for, and then some. Highly recommend them to anyone getting married.
