We love it when couples step outside of the box! The sentence “I have an idea, but I don’t know if it’s weird” is a common phrase around here.

what makes a philosofi couple
Philosofi Celebrations was founded in 2020 with the goal of making the wedding planning process for all couples one of celebration, joy, and community.
Nothing fills our team with joy more than watching two humans get married, surrounded by their loved ones. From easing the stress of wedding planning to truly getting to know our clients on a personal level, we thrive on translating our couples' personalities and love stories into a celebration of their journey so far.
Our inspiration comes from a blend of experiences: planning birthday parties in childhood, working in college recruitment, and navigating the complexities of wedding planning during a mid-pandemic move. This diverse background fuels our dedication to bringing a sense of organization, care, and joy to each wedding we plan. We are committed to ensuring that every couple, regardless of their background, feels celebrated and supported as they kick off this next chapter together.
our story
Hey there! I’m Sofi (she/her), the creative force behind Philosofi Celebrations. When I'm not planning unforgettable weddings for amazing couples, you’ll probably find me chasing around my wild and wonderful two-year-old.
Outside of work, I'm all about simple pleasures—baking sourdough, tending to my garden (or at least trying to), and listening to music or podcasts 24/7. I love hanging out with friends, chatting about life, and laughing until our abs hurt.
My approach to weddings mirrors my general philosophy in life: authentic, inclusive, and full of joy. I bring a mix of detailed organization and a laid-back vibe to everything I do, making sure every moment is meaningful and stress-free.

a little bit about
Owner & Lead Planner
Hi there! I’m Abbie, Wedding Manager & Business Assistant at Philosofi Celebrations. When I’m not making sure all the logistics flow perfectly on your big day, you can find me in a yoga pose, on a nature trail with my fur-baby, Bowie, or stopping by the farmer’s market. I love to host family and friends in my home and find any reason to celebrate loved ones with hand-made gifts and experiences.
As long as I can remember, I’ve loved celebrating moments in the lives of others and am so happy I have a career that allows me to do that daily. I’m honored to serve Philosofi Celebrations couples and truly adore the love stories we are fortunate to be a part of.

Wedding Manager & Business Assistant
we bring calm to the chaos
The planning process and the wedding day itself can feel busy and overwhelming- our goal is to always be a calming presence and ease your worries every step of the way.
we are always learning
I pride myself on being a lifelong learner (and a bit of a nerd). I am constantly searching for podcasts, summits, and memberships that make me a better and more evolved planner, business owner, and leader.
we're driven by love
Everything we do here at Philosofi Celebrations is driven by love. Celebrating all love stories and spreading love to our couples, their guests, and our vendor partners are our top priorities.
Everything we do, we do out of love. In the industry of love, nothing else matters as much as giving love, celebrating love, and showering our clients and guests with love. This is the philo in Philosofi.
love
We value not only the knowledge that we strive to gain every day, but the wise application of that knowledge. This is the Sofi in Philosofi.
wisdom
We don’t want to work in a world where weddings are only for some. We love and celebrate all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, genders, and religions - we love and celebrate all humans.
inclusivity
It takes a village to do all things. While our communities may look different, we all need a community to thrive. Your community while wedding planning can be your family, your friends, your 7th grade science teacher, anyone. We want them to be loved and celebrated alongside you in this planning and wedding journey.
community
We believe that weddings should be joyful, even with the challenges that may arise. We vow to do our best to make the planning process joyful for you, your partner, and your loved ones. We strive to make the wedding day joyful not only for you and your partner, but for your entire community who is there to support you.

“I do about 30 weddings a year, (for the last 20 years) and honestly, this is the most organized and helpful "week-of"/ "day-of" email I've ever received. Thank you!”
