samantha
LEAD planner
Samantha has had a passion for working in the wedding industry for as long as she can remember. She has dreamt of owning her own bridal boutique and now, as the manager at InWhite Bridal, she spendings her work weeks directly with vendors ordering gowns for the store and assisting brides in finding their perfect dress. She brings her creative eye to our team through her understanding of the bride and her vision to create any couple’s perfect wedding day. Not to mention, in a pinch she can sew a button, fix any bustle, and a fluff a bride’s train with ease.
When she is not at the shop or at your venue
Samantha loves to try out new recipes and bake any cupcake flavor imaginable. She is also exploring downtown Lancaster in her new apartment, and can’t wait to go back up to her alma mater, Penn State, for a game weekend!
JENNA
LEAD COORDINATOR
Jenna’s passion for weddings started when she helped her best friend plan, design, and coordinate her wedding. Never had “work” seemed so fun! A career in the wedding industry was her dream. And now that she’s living her dreams, she loves nothing more than to play a part in making your dream day a reality. An extrovert who loves connecting with others, Jenna will get to know you and your vision for your wedding day. She will be there to offer advice and solidify details you didn’t even know you needed to think about.
A firm believer in “when you know, you know,” Jenna met and married her husband in 15 months. Did she plan her entire wedding in 4 months? Yep, she did. She can help you coordinate yours, no sweat.
When she’s not in wedding mode
she’s enjoying life with her husband, Ben, and son, John. You may also find her hosting, thrifting, or binging on nachos and the newest crime series.
kate
LEAD COORDINATOR
After taking on the huge undertaking of planning her own wedding (and relishing every minute of it!) Kate determined she needed to roll up her sleeves and get her hands dirty in the wedding industry. As luck would have it, her very own wedding photographer introduced her to Courtney, creator of Sapphire Road. From that point on there was no turning back, soaking in knowledge and understanding how everything comes together for each couple to make their day one of the most special days of their lives. Kate's biggest strength is making sure every detail is in place and biggest wish is that each couple is ecstatic after the day is over.
When Kate isn't coordinating a wedding
she's spoiling her two dogs, screening outdoor movies with her husband, whipping up floral bouquets/arrangements/boutonnieres, or buying the best produce and grocery goods for thousands of subscribers to an online grocery distributor. Let's just say there's not enough time in the day!
Alexis
LEAD COORDINATOR
Alexis grew her love for all things weddings during her college internship and has been fortunate enough to continue learning throughout the last few years! She takes pride in being detail oriented & organized while also leaving room for creativity. Alexis is all about making each couple she has the pleasure of working with, feel prioritized and heard during the entire process, while always keeping things fun! Her main goal is for each couple to enjoy their wedding day and process to its entirety.
When she isn’t helping couples tie the knot
she is usually spending time with her very large family, shopping or doing something outdoors!
