Satchel Planning & Design

As your wedding planners, we are always here to talk you through any issues, to help manage stress, and to make sure wedding planning stays fun. We do that by frequent communication, using the top vendors, and sharing ideas, while we take care of the details. Over the years we have developed methods to simplify the planning process, which include concise checklists, planning agendas, and step-by-step wedding design. Wedding planning can and should be a fun experience, and our process helps you get the most out of it! By the time your wedding day gets here, we are just as excited as any guest to hear you say “I do!” HELLO! We are Jane and Josie, the founders and managing directors of Satchel Events. Hello, my name is Jane. Even though I've been working with Josie since 2016, I've only recently taken over as owner of Satchel (basically, we switched roles). As a side hustle while working as a Middle School teacher, I started doing day-of coordination for weddings in 2012. After a short time, I realized that my natural ability to organize to-do lists and color coordinate, as well as my ability to remain calm and collected in front of a group of 32 13-year-olds, made me an excellent candidate for this position. Since working with Josie for the past four years, I've gained a great deal of knowledge about the industry and the production process. I'm thrilled to be taking on this new role as owner and lead production manager. Getting to know the couple is my favorite part of working in weddings; everyone has a story to tell. Hello, everyone! This is Josie. Satchel Events was founded by me in 2015, and the rest is history. I have two dogs, enjoy wine and music, and binge-watch Netflix episodes with my family, who are some of the coolest people I know. Most importantly, I adore being a mother to my twin daughters, whom we welcomed into the world in 2017! My top priority is to ensure that you and your guests have a good time, but that doesn't mean we can't also make things look beautiful at the same time! My specialty is in the design of weddings! As the lead designer and social media strategist for Satchel, I'm looking forward to seeing where Jane takes the company in the years to come.
