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
