ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Hillary — Your Calm in the Chaos and Your Creative Co-Pilot
My journey into wedding planning began alongside my sister-in-law, the founder of The Final Touch Chicago. From day one, I was all in—shaping marketing strategies, streamlining systems for scalable growth, and serving as a wedding coordinator on her team. Over the past four years, I’ve been immersed in every detail, every emotion, and every joyful celebration—and I fell in love with the process.
​
After relocating to North Carolina, I knew it was time to bring my passion and experience to a new community. That’s how Pearl & Pine was born— Event Planning dedicated to creating beautifully organic, timeless events rooted in trust, warmth, and ease.
​
I’m a lifelong learner and certified planner, always sharpening my skills through professional wedding planning courses and project management training. Beyond weddings, I’m a happily married wife and proud mom to three adventurous little boys. I love being outside—especially in the summertime, picking fresh fruit at local farms or gathering with family and friends around a home-cooked meal. I’m an active member of my church, a lover of cultural food, and always happiest with sand between my toes at the beach.
What I Believe
At the heart of everything I do is this simple truth:
Every love story deserves to be told beautifully.
​
Your wedding is more than an event—it’s the beginning of a new chapter, and I believe it should reflect who you are, down to the smallest details. I approach each celebration with the belief that no detail is too small, and every moment matters.
​
The engagement period is a precious time that often gets overlooked or rushed in the hustle of wedding planning. But I believe it’s one of the most important phases of your relationship. This time should be about connecting, dreaming, and deepening your bond. I want to make space for that special time, so you can step into your wedding day fully confident in both your relationship and your event.
​
Planning your wedding should feel exciting—not exhausting. That’s why I’m here to bring clarity, creativity, and calm to the process. With a clear plan, honest guidance, and cheerful energy, we’ll turn even the most overwhelming tasks into a day you’ll never want to end
