Hello, I’m Leslie, owner & wedding planner for Un Jour D’Amour Weddings & Events. I stepped into the wedding industry in 2018 as a wedding DJ & MC and immediately felt at home. My passion sparked during my very first event. I held back tears in the corner while the bride and groom exchanged vows, and realized that weddings were my happy place.

My job progressed to consulting with couples months before their events, helping with the planning and details, then to day-of coordinating for multiple weddings, truly enjoying every second of it. My skills developed effortlessly and I decided to run with this gift and passion I had been given.

Today, I have been involved in the planning, performance, and/or execution of over 250 weddings in my career and now also host fantasy-themed galas and events across the US.

When I’m not busy planning weddings, I’m busy being a dog mom to two beautiful pups together with my fiancé! I love playing volleyball and working out in my free time to stay active, and I also enjoy expressing my nerdy side playing Dungeons & Dragons with my friends, watching anime, and planning my next cosplay outfit.

What people are saying…

  • Katie

    “Leslie is an absolute godsend! She has so much knowledge on the industry and really goes above and beyond to make things run smoothly and make you feel cared for. Leslie stepped in and took care of any hiccups along the way that popped up with other vendors.

    She has a calm and confident demeanor which adds to her ability to make a wedding run well. I am so happy she was my coordinator and I would recommend her to any bride! She is very professional and will help bring your day to life!

    When my wedding day had a cool front, she went and bought blankets to help my guests feel comfortable. When my dress felt too tight during the reception she offered to go pick up my other dresses from my hotel. She is an MVP and I’m so lucky I got to work with her!!!!”

  • Taylor

    “Our coordinator, Leslie, was an absolute saint!!! She was attentive to our theme, flexible when our venue had communication issues, and had a great presence for the whole night.”

  • Paloma

    “Leslie is worth the splurge. She made our wedding stress-free by handling all other vendors, keeping us on track with our timeline and helping decorate the venue.”
