Why I’m Here to Help Wedding Creatives Like You
Running a wedding business isn’t always as glamorous as it looks. Managing client inquiries, keeping up with trends, and ensuring smooth operations can be overwhelming. Trust me—I’ve been there.
I started as a wedding planner in the Chicago market in 2017, learning the ins and outs of the wedding industry, from busy seasons to shifting trends. Within my first year, my work was featured in PartySlate, Chicago Weddings, and Lavender & Lace. That experience gave me a solid foundation to understand what wedding creatives need to stay organized and grow.
Beyond weddings, my background in project management, business operations, and accounting equipped me with the tools to design systems that work behind the scenes, freeing you to focus on your passion. That’s why I created the BODA Framework, a step-by-step strategy to help wedding professionals streamline their operations and scale their businesses effectively.

Unpopular opinion: overnight success is a myth in the wedding world
Behind every "overnight success" story lies a journey filled with hard work, valuable lessons, and a dedication to constant growth. Success doesn't happen overnight; it's a marathon, not a sprint. By embracing this journey, you can learn from every step and truly appreciate the progress you make along the way.
The reality:
In the world of dazzling wedding photos and Pinterest-perfect inspiration, it’s easy to believe in overnight success. But here’s the truth: thriving in this industry takes time, dedication, and well-organized systems.
Did you know? According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, it takes an average of 2-3 years for small businesses to become profitable, and the wedding industry is no exception. Building a thriving wedding business requires more than just talent—it demands the right systems, processes, and consistent effort to support sustainable growth.
Success is built on a solid foundation of business systems that streamline your processes, save you time, and create room for intentional growth. It’s not about shortcuts—it’s about building something sustainable that allows your talent and passion to shine.
Let’s create the systems that turn your dreams into reality.
As your Online Business Manager, I believe that sustainable success comes from well-designed systems, strategic planning, and a deep connection with your unique vision. Together, we'll create a clear, achievable roadmap tailored to your dreams. Let's debunk the myths and build your enduring success step by step.
My commitment to you:
There’s magic in systems.
At Boda Bliss, we believe in the magic of connecting with your clients. Systems may seem impersonal, but we view them as the heart of truly caring for your clients. It's all about that extra effort to ensure they feel valued and appreciated. Let’s collaborate to build lasting relationships and create unforgettable experiences for your clients.
My journey has taken me from business management to wedding planning, and now, to being your Online Business Manager. Each step has been fueled by a passion for making dreams come true.
When I'm not in the midst of the hustle, you'll find me lost in historical fiction and business books. I'm also a huge fan of the good vibes from Friends, Parks & Rec, and The Office. Let's swap book recommendations and binge-watching favorites!
