The For Your Memories Story
Every couple has a vision for the wedding of their dreams. Every one celebrating an important moment in their life wants it to be perfect, like they see it in their mind when they close their eyes. Somewhere along the way between budgets, extra fees, and all the things you find out aren't included this vision becomes a shadow of what it once was in your mind. You're asked, "What can you do without and what's the most important to you?" because a budget is pages long and every piece of the dream vision has an individual cost. You also have to go to multiple locations and find special vendors for each part, which adds on delivery, set-up, and additional charges. Now you need a planner and at minimum Partial Services Planning to find all of this and keep track of it, so your cost just went up more, but they will save you some on the vendors they know, but will it even out to what the planner costs?
What if it could be different?
What if you could hand pick the services you want and need? What if your design could be a true collaboration when your planner and designer took the time to listen and understand what your vision is for your wedding? Could you imagine a planner who thinks the phrase, “What can you do without?” is absolutely wrong and wants to find a way to make it work? What if your planner took negotiating to the next level to create serious money-saving opportunities with vendors and shared that with you? What if your planner cared and was available after 5pm?
Why would a planner do this for you?
I would do this because I was in your shoes once as a bride. After all was said and done, I decided to go back into the industry and make changes that I thought were very important, not to say it's done wrong, but these were things I needed to do to feel I was doing what I would have wanted done for me as a bride. FYM was created to fill a gap between what is available and what many think they're getting when they sign up.

The FYM family
Megan A. Kennedy, iwpa
Wedding + Event Planner + Designer | founder + Owner
I matriculated here from the Washington, D.C. area in 2012. Having experience in planning, after I got married I wanted to create an experience that made the entire planning and design process memorable for a couple.
As a planner and designer I believe that teamwork makes your dreamwork, so all your vendors are important. Organization is key, but having flexibility as the wedding or even approaches is important. It took me three years to find the perfect planning program! FYM has introduced Aisle Planner so that all of our planning, design and important communication can be done in one place. You have access to every aspect of your wedding and you can design, create timelines, and enter important vendor information only once! Efficiency is wonderful too!
Years of training in color, design, and with a true understanding of the different styles. In order to bend the rules I have to know the first. I love the directed design is going - the creative blend of what couples love that create these incredibly personalized weddings. I can’t get enough of them! I respect all styles of weddings, love a challenged, and beyond the design - the smiles of loved ones and a happy couple always creates a masterpiece.
I have an undergrad in Marketing Education from Virginia Tech and Masters of Science in Administration & Supervision. I’m a Certified Wedding Planner, Certified Event Planner, and Certified Party Planner. FYM considers all styles and all budgets. Once Upon a Time and Happily Ever After means something different for every one.
