I had the privilege of chatting with Molly from Planning by Molly, an Okanagan wedding planner with an artistic eye and an innate attention to detail. Molly has been involved in the Okanagan wedding scene since the 2016 season. She started working in catering, bartending, coordinating and then eventually did her first full wedding plan in 2019. She takes only a limited number of weddings per year so as to be able to give 100% of her attention to her clients. Be sure to reach out to Molly by visiting here website (click here) and following her on social media (here).
