Bridging Purpose and Celebration
At the heart of my work is a simple belief: impact and joy can go hand in hand.
With over 15 years of experience in nonprofit consulting, leadership, and event planning, I support mission-driven organizations with strategic development, fundraising, and operations—while also bringing that same energy and care to weddings and milestone events.
From building sustainable nonprofits to planning unforgettable weddings, I combine structure with creativity, professionalism with passion. Because whether you're launching a program or walking down the aisle, you deserve thoughtful planning, heartfelt connection, and flawless execution and an epic experience.
This is where strategy meets celebration—and I’m here to help you bring it all to life.
Bethany Cottrell - Founder
Bethany is a nonprofit leader, consultant, and event planner with over 15 years of experience helping mission-driven organizations grow, fundraise, and serve their communities. From founding Brigid’s House of Hope to managing federal grants, building strategic partnerships, and guiding program development across more than 50 boards and commissions, Bethany brings a depth of experience in organizational leadership, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable planning.
Her passion for event planning has been a constant thread throughout her career—whether coordinating statewide conferences or organizing community events. After planning her own epic wedding weekend and falling in love with the process, Bethany decided to expand her services and go all in—bringing the same thoughtful detail and heart to weddings and personal celebrations that she brings to nonprofit strategy.
When she’s not deep in planning mode, you’ll find Bethany spending time with her family—both the two-legged and four-legged kind—soaking up the joy, love, and laughter that inspire everything she does.
