To share a little bit of history, Tara launched SSWE in 2014 full-time.

The goal was to take all the knowledge learned throughout the years and crafting a plan to help simplify the planning process with as little stress as possible that will help couples enjoy the process. At the end of the the wedding planning journey, it is a wonderful feeling to know that each couple was able to have their dream day as they married the love of their life surrounded by all the people they love!
