Some experiences deserve more than a plan. They deserve someone who made sure everything was perfect before you even arrived.
This is the tier for clients who want Northern Michigan to feel effortless — not just organized. Whether you're returning to your summer home, surprising someone you love, or hosting something that needs to go exactly right, I handle the details so the moment feels like it was always meant to be.
What this looks like:
Arrival Preparation Coming back to your cottage or rental? I'll open the home, air it out, and stock the essentials — nothing excessive, just the things that make it feel like someone was expecting you. You walk in and its already home.
Special Occasion Setup Lakeside proposal. Honeymoon suite turndown. Decorated party bus for the bachelorette. I handle the setup, the sourcing, and the surprise. So, the moment lands exactly the way you imagined it.
Vendor Sourcing & Coordination Private chefs, mobile bars, transportation, staffing, florals, decor — I find the right people, connect you directly, and make sure everything is confirmed and timed correctly. You pay the vendors. I make sure they show up, prepared, and on cue.
Venue & Property Scouting Planning from out of town? I vet properties, venues, and event spaces so you're not sorting through listings hoping something works. I narrow it down to what's actually available, realistic, and right for your group.
Best for:
Summer home and vacation rental arrivals
Proposals, honeymoons, and anniversary surprises
Bachelorette and bachelor weekends
Private dinners, celebrations, and executive retreats
Anyone who wants it handled — completely
Pricing: Starting at $300, based on scope. You pay vendors directly. My fee covers sourcing, coordination, and execution.

Northern Michigan is one of those places where knowing the right people makes all the difference. I've spent years inside the resorts, the golf clubs, the wedding venues, and the party buses learning what visitors need and what locals know. Here's how I put that to work for you.
