Napa Valley Wedding Planning & Design for Thoughtful Celebrations in California & Beyond
Weddings Rooted in Meaning. Designed With Heart.
My relationship with design began early, influenced by a family immersed in interiors and craftsmanship. Inspired by the mountains, the ocean, and the feeling of a well-designed space, I’ve always been drawn to environments that tell a story.
With a foundation in science, business, and accounting, I approach weddings with equal parts creativity and structure. With a beginning in catering and event management, I founded Love Within the Details to create celebrations that feel personal, expressive, and rich with meaning.
Today, I design weddings through bold palettes, thoughtful layers, and intentional details, guiding couples through a planning experience that feels grounded, warm, and artfully led.

The Love Within the Details Experience
our planning PROCESS
Sandra was also a supportive partner throughout the planning process—Sandra kept us grounded, helped us make decisions, and held us lovingly accountable when we started to second-guess ourselves. And on the wedding weekend, Sandra was calm and focused yet adaptable in the face of unforeseen challenges. These examples capture everything about who Sandra is: unshakeable, solutions-oriented, and deeply committed to making sure the day feels joyful and seamless for everyone involved.
From the very beginning, Sandra stood out for her deep experience, creativity, and attention to detail.
Our favorite part of hiring Sandra was that it never felt like work planning our wedding. It was as fun as we wanted it to be. Anything that we didn’t have time to handle we knew we could trust Sandra to help us with. Although we had an unconventional wedding in mind, we loved her enthusiasm and energy when we brought up new ideas. We would 10 out of 10 recommend Sandra for a wedding planner!
Hiring Sandra was one of the best decisions in our wedding planning process we could have made.
Sandra helped us for a year in planning the absolute most perfect wedding I could’ve ever dreamed of. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her help throughout this entire process. The way she communicates, organizes, and helps bring your vision to life is honestly insane. I think everyone should hire Love Within the Details; it was the best decision we could’ve made, and it was the most magical weekend.
I can honestly say I was at complete ease our entire wedding weekend!
Every detail was meticulously organized, and Sandra had a knack for taking our descriptions and giving them life. It was amazing how well she could interpret our vision and make it better, and was amazing about working with the budget we gave her. I love telling people how absolutely perfect the day was, and not just “perfect even with imperfections,” but just literally perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better partner in this journey.
Trusting Sandra is the closest I’ve come to trusting someone with my life (like actually). She will not steer you wrong.

Q. What is one of your hobbies?
Drag images To Reveal Fun Fact
Looking back I couldn't imagine planning a wedding without Sandra. Some of the best parts of our day were because we listened to her judgement and expertise. On our wedding day, I hardly felt any stress because I knew everything behind the scenes was being taken care of. Sandra made what could have been a stressful year of planning feel fun, exciting, and totally manageable.
"If you're looking for a wedding planner, look no further - you've hit the jackpot!"
Sandra was our creative director, sounding board, voice of calm in stressful moments—and, honestly, our friend. If you’re looking for a planner who will go above and beyond, who will care about your day as much as you do, and who will make the entire journey fun and meaningful— Sandra is the one.
"From the moment we met Sandra, we knew our wedding would be a dream come true."
She is detail oriented, creative, proactive, and was able to give us our dream wedding through a collaborative year long planning. We were able to enjoy the day and spend time with our guests because of how well planned and timely everything was. Truly a night that we will never forget and we wouldn’t have been able to do without Sandra and her team.
"We didn’t fully understand what it took to plan a wedding & I can confidently say we would’ve been completely lost without Sandra."
It’s difficult for me to fully articulate how extraordinary a wedding planner Sandra is. We threw every difficulty her way, but Sandra dealt with it all with empathy, creativity, skill, and a preparedness that allowed her to roll with the punches.
"Hiring Sandra was the best decision I could have made for my wedding—second only to picking my husband of course!"
Since we didn’t have a real “venue,” we had to bring in everything. With Sandra’s help, this overwhelming task finally felt achievable. She helped us hand-pick every vendor, nail down a super complicated timeline, and ensure we didn’t get overwhelmed in the process. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
"After wrapping up our dream backyard wedding, it became clear that it could never have happened without Sandra."
