Hi there, my name is Wendy, the owner and lead planner of Revel & Wonder
I have been planning large-scale events and theatre productions for over twenty years and have exclusively planned awesome weddings for some amazing brides for the past ten years.
I function on coffee, share my office with four high-maintenance furry critters, do late-night design research in a bubble bath, and celebrate the end of the day with red wine. On my way to client meetings, I ugly sing in the car and geek out to Harry Potter and emoji banter with my brides.
I created Revel & Wonder (formerly The Savvy Bride) in 2014 to offer couples some levity during the planning process. It is so easy to feel the pressure of creating perfection, and that can lead to unnecessary stress and frustration. My focus on planning requires developing a personal relationship with my client, allowing me to translate their unique personalities into a wedding celebration authentic to the couple's love and life together. I tell my couples that a successful wedding is when guests walk away and say, "That was so them!" I would love the opportunity to help you create YOUR perfect wedding celebration.

The wedding Landolfi played last weekend with Inspired Design was amazing! We do a lot of weddings and I believe it was the most organized and "inspired" I've seen. Every detail!
