We’ve been pretty quiet over here, as I’ve tried to let things settle into this new non-normal. For a while I felt like posting about weddings just didn’t make sense - so much was unknown about the future of weddings and social gatherings, so much was unknown about our own little business, so much was unknown about the future in general.

But unfortunately, it looks like clarity won’t be making an appearance any time soon. So I wanted to pop on here to give some small updates from our end:

First, if you need anything from us - please reach out. Can we foresee the future? No, but we’re here as ears and as a resource to you as we all try to navigate the future of events. I know there are a lot of couples eloping and making new plans - and again, we’re here if you need us in any way!

The main news is that unfortunately I’m going to be stepping sideways (cue PIVOT meme from Friends) as we have to make some essential adjustments. I was planning on announcing in April that I’d be stepping sideways because I got a new gig helping with events at a local venue. That job fell through for obvious reasons. So now, I’m stepping sideways because I have to be a stay-at-home mom. I’ll continue to be the owner of this business - but I likely won’t be able to take on any future coordination or planning gigs. Our amazing team - Rebecca and Tarra - will continue to help coordinate and plan - so please know The Plannery will still be here, I’ll still be at the helm (and on social media), but won't have as many active clients as I have previously. We’re going to start easing back into more blogging again - I feel like it doesn’t make sense to not share happy content when we could all use some smiles. So expect some more weddings and other event-related content coming your way.

I’m as curious as everyone else what weddings will look like in the future. In some ways I’m intrigued by how this will change things - will it mean more intimate gatherings? Or will we be in a place where everyone can socialize again and folx will go ALL OUT?!! Probably a bit of both. Only time will tell…

But til then I wanted to wish you all well and send you lots of love!

Best, Katie
