HI, I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE.

Here’s how it all began.

I went to college with the dream of becoming a neurosurgeon… until Organic Chemistry convinced me otherwise. If you know, you know.

Through all the career changes and shifting interests, one thing stayed constant: I love people, and I especially love bringing lots of moving pieces together into something beautiful.

When I got engaged, I knew I wanted to plan my own wedding and that's when I discovered how much joy I found in the process. (Better yet, I got to marry my best friend!) But on the day itself, I was the only one with all the answers, and that's when it hit me just how much a couple needs someone in their corner. And so, Weddings by Whitney was born.

Since, I've had the honor of coordinating weddings across Springfield and the Ozarks, from intimate vineyard ceremonies to full celebrations with every detail dreamed up. Every single one reminds me why I do this: I get to take all those moving pieces and turn them into a day that feels beautiful, seamless, and unmistakably yours.

So now, I help couples just like you bring their visions to life. I really couldn't ask for anything better and I'm so glad you're here.

xoxo,

Whitney

A FEW THINGS ABOUT ME

My husband and I love our animals. We have a puppy named Arya (Ari for short) and will soon be adding our newly adopted puppy, Baela, to the family. If you get the name references, we can be best friends ;)

In my free time, I like to go on hikes, read historical fiction and fantasy novels, and travel. And my favorite drink is a brown sugar cinnamon latte!

One fun fact about me is that I am Nigerian! My family relocated to the US in 2013, and have been in Springfield ever since. I am so proud of my heritage.
