LET'S SAY THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD:
WEDDINGS ARE Stressful AS shit.
---
"Have you picked a date yet??"
"No Linda. We literally got engaged last week".
If you're having the same experience I did when I first got engaged, you’re probably beginning to feel the excitement, the pressure, and, yes, the endless questions from the random people in your life. You’re about to invest in a day that you’ll remember forever, but between budgets, guest lists, and a million tiny decisions, it’s easy to feel a little (or a lot) overwhelmed. You want a wedding that’s unforgettable, but you also want the planning process to feel fun and easy too.
For me, this is about so much more than organizing details—it’s about giving you the freedom to truly enjoy this experience and feel supported. My approach is all about making the planning process feel just as special as the big day. I’ve spent years guiding unions, and nothing brings me more joy than helping you see your vision come to life.
And whether I'm planning, coordinating, or officiating your day, I love connecting with each union and crafting experiences that feel genuinely you. I’m here to make sure every detail celebrates your story and the incredible life you’re building together. There’s nothing more fulfilling to me than helping create a day that truly feels like home for you and your guests.
Also, ask anyone I went to college with, and they'll tell you this: momma knows how to throw a party.

"I saw JB officiate my fiance's cousin's wedding and I literally went up to him at the reception and asked him to officiate mine--it was that good. He strikes the perfect balance of sentimental/heartfelt with fun and hilarious. You can definietly tell he has a lot of experience public speaking. He makes everyone feel so at ease. For my own wedding, he did all of these amazing interview sessions with me and my fiancee and all of my family members and incorporated all of it into our ceremony--it was so freaking special!!! Our entire wedding was crying. It was so good. I would 15/10 recommend!"

"I had the pleasure of working with The Urban Union for my wedding, and I can't recommend them enough. From the very first meeting, Joe, the owner, was incredibly attentive, professional, and passionate about creating a wedding that reflected our unique style. He took the time to listen to our ideas and vision, then translated them into a cohesive plan that exceeded all of our expectations. What really stood out about The Urban Union was their ability to personalize our wedding in such a meaningful way. It wasn’t just a standard event; they truly understood our personalities as a couple and incorporated that into the design, atmosphere, and flow of the day. The result was a wedding that felt deeply personal and perfectly us. On the big day, Joe and his team were there every step of the way, handling everything behind the scenes with grace and efficiency. Thanks to their hard work, our day went off without a hitch, and we were able to relax and enjoy the celebration with our loved ones. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and well-organized everything was! If you're looking for a wedding planning company that offers not only professionalism but also creativity and a personal touch, The Urban Union is the way to go. Joe’s dedication to making your day perfect is unmatched, and we’re so grateful to have had them by our side on such a special occasion. Highly recommended!"

"Tying the Knot with The Urban Union Working with JB Herron of The Urban Union was the best part of our wedding planning experience. Not only was JB our officiant, he also brought our ideas to life during the entire planning process. During each meeting and conversation, JB reinforced our trust in him to make our day perfect. At the rehearsal, JB took the reigns and guided us and our family through the process even going above and beyond to assist in decorating the space. The day of the wedding, he worked effortlessly with the other vendors to ensure a smooth execution. He delivered a beautiful ceremony and helped us (literally) tie the knot. We loved working with JB Herron at The Urban Union."

"I recently helped a friend plan their wedding, and they used The Urban Union for both planning and officiating. I can’t say enough good things about their service! They were incredibly detail-oriented, ensuring nothing was overlooked, and even helped with contract negotiations, securing better pricing on key aspects of the day. What stood out most was their ability to create a stunning, queer-affirming, and deeply loving space for both the ceremony and reception. Every detail reflected the couple’s unique story and values. If you want a wedding that’s seamless, beautiful, and meaningful, The Urban Union is the way to go!"

Joe did such an amazing job with our wedding! Having him as our planner took such a huge weight off my shoulders. And when it came to the officiating, Joe did such a great job writing exactly what we asked for: something short, simple, and sweet. It was perfect! Every engaged couple needs a Joe for their big day.
