Hey, I’m Brie!
northern california wedding planning expert
From the very first conversation, my goal is to understand your vision, your priorities, and what will make the day feel uniquely yours.
Where did the name Aspen + Pine come from? Well, my favorite tree is an aspen, and my husband’s is a pine tree. It felt like the perfect fit.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but with me by your side, you’ll have a partner who’s as invested in your celebration as you are.
The Philosophy
Planning should feel collaborative
This isn’t about me taking over; it’s about guiding, supporting, and protecting your vision every step of the way.
Calm is contagious
When I stay centered, you can too. My role is to remove stress, not add to it.
Sustainable can be stunning
When planning weddings out in nature, I aim to follow the Leave No Trace principles.
doing the most so you don’t have to
Let’s make sure we’re a perfect match from the start
Spoiler: I’m probably just as excited about your wedding as you are.
I started studying Marriage & Family therapy in college before I met my sweetheart and together, we started our family. While my college degree had to take a back seat, I continually found opportunities to be creative.
After working at a mountain resort where my husband and I renovated guest cabins and helped launch their first weddings on site, I landed a job at a luxury event venue in northern Nevada. I fell in LOVE with wedding planning, and I was passionate about brining my client’s visions to life.
These experiences gave me a strong foundation in both event operations and design, and confirmed my love for creating moments and celebrations that felt purposeful, natural, and full of heart.
My family was (and is!) my priority, so I started to explore what wedding planning might look like on my own. I wanted to control my schedule and ensure my priorities were aligned. I wanted to work with more couples, plan more amazing weddings, and explore what I could do when given creative freedom.
That’s when Aspen + Pine was born. My favorite tree and my husband’s. A blend of intentional, heartfelt wedding planning and venue consulting founded on the idea that a wedding should be more than a Pinterest board of ideas and trends. It should be special. For my clients, I aim to be more than just a wedding planner. I want to be your calm in the chaos, your voice of reason, and your steady guide through the journey to “I do.”
