My name is Ruth Ribalko, I am a wedding planner and social worker with a passion for creating unforgettable wedding experiences. Since 2019, I've had the privilege of serving couples along the East Coast, helping them transform their wedding dreams into reality.

My expertise

My background as a social worker provides me with a unique perspective in the wedding industry. I have a the ability to help couples navigate the emotional complexities of planning their wedding. 

Beyond my social work expertise, I also love creative design and have an eye for detail. I love working with couples to develop a cohesive and stylish wedding vision that reflects their unique personalities. I truly see weddings as a creative expression of the couple and their love to one another. With that in mind I challange you to push past the trends and help you find ideas that are meaningful and memorable to you. 

Beyond weddings

When I'm not busy planning weddings, I enjoy spending time with my beloved pets – two sassy cats and an energetic dog. I am also passionate about volunteering in my community and traveling to new and exciting destinations.
