what makes a philosofi Wedding

Big hearts
Our couples are down-to-earth humans who love their people hard and find joy in the simple pleasures of life.
02.
a focus on fun
Philosofi weddings are FUN. Our couples want their guests to have fun, party, and dance the night away.
03.
true love
Our nearlyweds have amazing love stories, and they share them through the details of their wedding day.

a couple of quirks
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.
Planning Weddings in the Kansas City Metro Area
our story
Philosofi Celebrations started in 2020 with one big belief: the wedding planning process for all couples should be one of celebration, joy, and community.
There are few things that make our team happier than watching two humans get married, surrounded by their loved ones. You'll have a calming presence while you deal with wedding day jitters and an advocate throughout the planning process, ensuring your priorities (and mental health) are intact. We thrive on translating our couples' personalities and love stories into an incredible celebration with their favorite people.
Philosofi Celebrations began with ambitious childhood birthday party plans, grew up in the world of college recruitment, and came of age while 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 have a hand in. We are unapologetically inclusive and committed to making sure every couple feels fully seen, celebrated, and supported.
moment on the wedding day
Sending the couple down the aisle. Knowing they're about to commit to forever together always puts the biggest, dorkiest smile on my face.
wedding day beverage
I'm a beverage girly, but on wedding days I stick to water, electrolytes, and either a molten lava mocha or a campout cold brew of from Dutch Bros.
wedding trend
Our couples aren't big trend-seekers, but I love that documentary-style photography is becoming more of a norm.
Owner & Lead Planner
Hey there! I’m Sofi (she/her)- owner and lead planner here at Philosofi Celebrations. When I'm not navigating wedding day logistics, I'm ringleading a full-blown circus at home with three kiddos and two fur babies (and yes, I have systems for both).
Outside of work, I'm a lover of the simple things- I love baking sourdough, listening to music or podcasts 24/7, and making our century-old house a home. 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'm wildly organized but never uptight; you’ll never miss a deadline, but you’ll also never feel like you’re back in school. I genuinely love getting to know my couples and helping them create a day that feels personal, joyful, and true to them.
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.
we're truly driven by love
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 are always learning
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 bring calm to the chaos
our values
love
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.
wisdom
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.
inclusivity
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.
community
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.
joy
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.
Vendor Love
“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!”
