The Heart Behind the Fern

Hi there!

I’m Whitney and I am so glad you are here. It would truly be an honor to assist you in planning your special day or event. You should know that I want to make this process stress free and – dare I say it – fun! Ever since I can remember I have been a type A, plan every detail, organizing freak. From an early age planning our family holiday dinner menus down to every dish, to being the go-to-girl for friends who need help with organizing a trip, to today turning it into a career and reveling in every minute of helping with every detail, this is what I love.

Officially speaking - I have a degree in Public Relations and spent over a decade post- graduation in the hospitality world in Charleston, South Carolina. Doing everything from serving/bartending, floral design, catering sales and event management – there isn’t much in the industry I haven’t dabbled in and I believe that has helped shape me as a planner.

Personally speaking – I am a Pennsylvania native and now southern transplant living with my sweet husband, Carlin and our two young children – Millie and Crew. In my laughably limited spare time, you can find me binging anything on the food network and making homemade pasta from scratch, laughing with pals over a glass of red wine or starting a new home project (sorry Carlin!).

I look forward to learning your story and helping you make magic happen <3
