About Us

Stress Free, Seamless, & Memorable Events

30 years ago, Colleen Smiley was asked to serve as the “temporary” wedding planner at a local church. She fell in love with people in love and the entire process of planning weddings. Having a church coordinator for her own wedding was something she treasured, however she remembered being lost in the planning phases. Wanting to alleviate that stress from her brides, she began to come along side and help her brides through the “you don’t know what you don’t know” phase.

30 years later, Colleen still LOVES to help her clients relax and enjoy the entire process. Whether it is coming alongside a DIY (Do it yourself) bride, or taking the ball and running with a brides ideas from long distance, Creative Celebrations will handle as little or as much of the planning as needed. We pride ourselves on producing stress free, seamless & memorable events for our clients.

Over the years we have developed a working relationship with over 1,400 event-related vendors. We highly respect our vendors and connect each client with the proper referrals upon consulting with you and determining your budget configuration, style, and ideas. We can narrow down the resources and provide you with the most dependable vendors that will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

We offer a full range of services, from hourly consultations to full coordination, and we are happy to do as little or as much as you would like. Most clients feel that we save them more than our fee. And after all, is there a price for peace of mind?
