About Us
Merissa Cole - Owner / Lead Planner
My name is Merissa Cole, a few key words to describe me would be happy, creative, optimistic, and loyal. Basically, I'm your textbook enneagram 2. My heart is filled with the desire to help others! I grew up in Kansas and moved to Houston, Texas with my husband Grant after he graduated from KU and accepted his dream position down at NASA Johnson.
“We want to bring back meaning and purpose to the wedding industry.”
We have the sweetest pitbull named Zeus, and a beautiful calico cat names Ashiz. Grant and I met when we were 14 and have been together ever since, creating our own version of happily ever after. We are a small but mighty team based in Houston, Texas and are beyond excited to partner with our amazing couples. I was a June bride in 2018 and really, that is where all this began. God showed up in a mighty way the year we planned our wedding (and of course afterwards) to show me where my purpose lies! I truly believe God has graced me with the ability to invest and connect with people. Working on and learning about our own marriage has lit such a passion within me to help others pursue healthy, Godly marriages and families!

The other half of RC is Grant. On wedding days he is Merissa's number 2 working as her second hands. And in office time he assists with all the financials and tech magic behind the scenes.
