All guests are to be welcomed as Christ - St Benedict
After years in Allied Health I made a shift to event coordination in 2012 when I began working with vendors for an annual conference focusing on K-12 education. In 2016, I was given the opportunity to be wedding coordinator in my home parish and realized that I had finally found my ministry.
65 weddings later, I left the position to expand on that ministry and with Mary, officially began Something Blue, LLC. I believe good food, good music, and good company are the heart of both a small gathering and a grand celebration. I love to help couples personalize their ceremony or nuptial Mass by matching the music, readings, and personal touches to their unique wedding vision.
My husband and I reside in Indianapolis and are the parents of three young adult sons. At some point, I would love to walk just a small part of the Camino de Santiago. Until then, I'm content with a few miles in the park in each day; it offers the perfect time to pray for all our past & future couples.

"Mawiage... Mawiage is wat bwings us hewe togeva today."
Hi, I'm Mary! I was born and raised on the southside of Indianapolis as part of a very vibrant, chaotic, and beautiful family of nine kids.
Growing up, I loved event planning. I planned dances in high school, assisted friends with their weddings whenever I could and helped plan a series of larger scale fundraising events through my Parish. I just love watching all the little details come together to make one cohesive experience after months of hard work! Professionally, I spent several years in restaurant management, where I learned the never-ending joys and woes of catering and customer service, before jumping at the chance to transition into weddings with Joy in early 2018.
I met my own husband in 2014, and we were married on a very cold and wet May day in 2016. We've since been blessed with two energetic little girls. We love to hike, geocache, and cook together. My passion for weddings stems from the beautiful example of marriage that I was fortunate enough to witness in my own parents and I strive to give that same gift to my own children.

Olivia
Marketing Director
Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
Hi! Olivia here! I’m a native Hoosier and a cradle Catholic.
I’ve always had a knack for finding “just the write words” (see what I did there?) and my love of writing and presentation inspired me to earn a degree in Marketing from Marian University in 2017. Desiring to serve the Church, I complemented that with a degree in Pastoral Leadership. After bouncing around the Catholic and secular world, including government, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, higher ed, and, my favorite – Chick-fil-A, I decided to start a new chapter in my career as a freelance copywriter and consultant specializing in Catholic businesses. One consult for Something Blue, and we were all hooked!
While at Marian I met my husband, who I married in May 2018 in one of Something Blue’s very first weddings. We have a beautiful little daughter, born a day after our first anniversary! We love to swing dance and play every board game we can get our hands on.
When I’m not working you can usually find me cuddling with my daughter, working on one of many projects around our family’s early-20th century home on the Westside of Indy, or chasing my 80-pound mutt Solomon around the park across the street.
I find the striving of a married couple, when rooted in Christ, to be one of the hardest and holiest things in this life. I am honored to be participating in these the first steps of that journey for each and every one of our clients.
We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God. Jn.6:68-69
