OUR PHILOSOPHY AND DESIGN APPROACH
WE BELIEVE EXPERIENCES ARE THE DETAILS
At Kindred, we blend connection and creativity to turn your vision into a breathtaking reality. Every detail—from the florals to the linens, your wardrobes to the cuisine—plays a vital role in telling your story.
Connection is at the heart of everything we do. We believe in building meaningful relationships with our couples, getting to know who they truly are as we collaborate to bring their dreams to life. Our passion for what we do drives us to go beyond traditional event planning, creating unforgettable experiences that become treasured family memories.
THE FACE BEHIND KINDRED
Owner & Lead Designer
JULIE
Enthusiastic | Detailed | Driven
My husband and I have called Waco our home since 2023, shortly after our own wedding. I grew up in the beautiful mountains of Western Montana, then moved to the Seattle area for college where I met my unlikely match. As all good love stories go, two opposites happened to cross paths (he was athletic and drove a sports car and I - well, I was in knitting club) and the rest is history! After moving to Texas we welcomed our beautiful little girl, and the three of us love to explore Waco, spend time with friends, and host fun gatherings whenever we can.
I had always enjoyed planning events through various roles in which that was involved, and I discovered a deeper passion for it while planning my own wedding! I'd been told that it would be such a drag, so overwhelming, and not enjoyable in the least - yet what I found was a love for vision casting, a skill for strategic planning, and a passion for every detail - no matter how small.
These joys have only grown since then, and I love to work with couples to capture their wedding day dreams and bring them to life. Whether you are looking for someone to execute your well-thought-out vision, feeling overwhelmed with where to start, or anywhere in between - I would be honored to walk alongside you as you prepare to walk down the aisle.

are not the details,
THEY MAKE
the design."
