I'm Alyssa Chitwood, the brains and heart behind The Calm Bride. Ever since I was 16, I've approached the art of hosting the perfect party with dedication. Naturally, when I took on the complex task of planning my own wedding, I spent 18 months meticulously crafting every detail and leaving nothing to chance. The result: a commonly over-anxious bride, remaining perfectly calm, the entire day. When asked, my simple answer was, 'I've never been more certain about anything in my life.' Which referenced of course, my
​
wonderful husband, but also the exceptional team I had assembled and the vision
I had so carefully crafted.
It was on this day that the idea for The Calm Bride was born. I realized that my dream was to turn my knack for orchestrating a flawless event and my background in hospitality, into a pillar of support for other couples as they as they approach their wedding day. My customer-service-driven mindset is at the core of everything I do, ensuring that each couple's journey is marked by confidence and a focus on celebrating their love.
As a wedding planner, my mission is clear: to guide couples through the wedding planning process, to remove the stress from their equation, and to ensure that, come the big day, they are the calmest people in the room.
This is an industry I have come to appreciate immensely, and I am so excited to join you on this journey and lend a hand in crafting your perfect wedding day.
