Your Dahlonega mountain wedding deserves someone who knows the terrain.

Dahlonega is one of my favorite places to coordinate a wedding. Between the rolling vineyards, mountain views, and waterfall backdrops, it’s easy to see why so many couples choose this corner of North Georgia for their big day.

I’m Michelle, and I provide day-of wedding coordination for couples getting married in and around Dahlonega. I’m based in nearby Talking Rock, so this is truly my home turf — I know the winding roads, the local vendors, and what it takes to pull off a seamless event in the mountains.

Mountain weddings are magical — and a little unpredictable.

That’s part of what makes them special. But outdoor ceremonies at vineyards, lodges, and mountain venues come with their own set of logistics. Will the weather cooperate? Are vendors familiar with the drive up? Is there a Plan B for the ceremony if it rains?

A day-of coordinator takes all of those worries off your plate. I’ll work through the what-ifs with you ahead of time so that on your wedding day, you’re not thinking about backup plans — you’re enjoying every moment.

I know and love Dahlonega’s wedding scene.

Georgia’s wine country is home to some truly special venues — from vineyard estates to rustic mountain lodges. Whether you’re exchanging vows overlooking rows of grapevines or dancing under string lights at a historic farmhouse, I’ve coordinated events in settings like these and I understand how to make them run beautifully.

If you’re an out-of-town couple who fell in love with Dahlonega as a destination, having a local coordinator is especially valuable. I can help bridge the gap between your vision and the on-the-ground reality of coordinating a wedding from a distance.

A stress-free ceremony in the mountains — that’s the goal.

Let’s chat about your Dahlonega wedding plans. I’d love to hear all about it.

Megan Kistler

Bride

Wedding planning is her job but she clearly works from her heart and has a passion for what she does! It's a rarity that you enjoy your vendor so much that you want to invite their husband to your wedding as well!

She has such a kind heart and is clearly passionate about caring for the well being of the couple throughout the whole wedding planning process. She was polite and considerate about making sure my husband & I's preferences were heard and communicated well.

She made sure we had plenty of quality time together as a couple throughout our wedding day, so that we didn't end up driving away feeling like everything was a blur. (We will forever be grateful for that!)

Kathryn

Mother of Bride

Michelle was the perfect choice for our daughter's wedding. Michelle was always calm yet in control. From the rehearsal throughout the entire wedding day, she made everything easy and stress-free.

Rachelle Patel

Her coordination services are the perfect option for brides who wants to be involved in the planning process but not have to worry about any of the details or execution on the day!

Bao Tran Burns

As someone who was planning my wedding from out of state, it was important for me to find someone I could trust. Michelle was very quick to respond to emails and did a great job communicating with my other vendors so that I did not have to worry about the minor details.

Russell Harper

Groom

Michelle is absolutely amazing. She was incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond in helping us set up the venue, and she kept our wedding running smoothly and stress free for my wife and I.

Sharilyn Harper

Calm, organized, and sincerely caring, Michelle helped me and my husband feel absolutely no stress on the day. She was so patient and friendly, and made everyone feel relaxed, while also keeping tabs of the time to make sure everything was on schedule.

We had her as our day-of-coordinator, but she did so much more than just be our guide on our big day: From taking time to understand our vision, building our timeline, ensuring decorations were situated, making sure the flow of the day was seamless, and most importantly fun!

Alaine Ingram

She handled all my vendors and helped me have a stress free week before the wedding, throughout the rehearsal and all day of the wedding! She did everything while being 8 months pregnant. That is talent.

Kaitie Noller

She was able to plan a last minute switch to an indoor facility when it rained on our wedding day, and I'm completely sure our day would have been ruined (if not completely stressed) without her help.

Alex Devon

Michelle went above and beyond throughout our entire wedding planning process. Her flexibility and problem solving was especially evident when we had to re-plan approximately a month before our wedding date due to COVID-19.

Megan Adkins

Every time we met with Michelle or talked with her on the phone, she immediately brought peace into the conversation and decreased my stress with planning a wedding during COVID.

She gave us all the permission in the world to make sure this day reflected my husband and I's love, and was on top of everything!
