About Us
Meet Stephanie
Hi, I’m Stephanie, a Certified Wedding Planner based in Grand Island, Nebraska, where I moved in 2011 with my husband and our eight children - seven daughters and one son! While working as a registered nurse, I discovered a deep passion for planning and coordinating events and weddings. Since 2018, I have been bringing joy to Central Nebraska through weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, social gatherings and church events. In 2025, I earned my wedding planning certification and launched Grand Moments Wedding & Event Planning to share my love for creating unforgettable celebrations with people across the region.
My love for planning events started when I began planning my own wedding in 2009. At the time, I lived in Idaho and my fiancé lived in South Dakota. We planned a wedding between two states within 4-1/2 months. It was A LOT! But I LOVED every minute of it. After getting married, I poured my heart into being a wife and mom. As our children grew, I was able to dedicate more time to planning and coordinating events for friends and family. My passion for event planning really grew as I gained experience in planning a variety of events including: weddings, birthday parties, social gatherings, showers, dinners, and even some political events and in 2024, I began the process of becoming a Certified Wedding Planner.
When I’m not crafting timelines or scouting Central Nebraska’s charming venues, I’m cherishing moments with my family or dreaming up ways to make your day extraordinary. From Grand Island to the heart of Central Nebraska, I’m here to create your grand moments. Ready to start planning? Let’s make it unforgettable.
