After graduating from the University of Virginia, I pursued my Master’s in Art History, and found my way back to Charlottesville where I live now with my husband, our two golden retrievers and our precious children. I draw inspiration from my travels abroad, classical art and architecture, literature, music and tradition.
Day by Fay was established in 2017 after years of planning weddings and events in the Charlottesville and the surrounding area. Our team has a combined twenty+ years of planning experience and brings a wealth of knowledge to the planning process based on strong relationships with countless vendors and passion for event production. Whether you are planning a large outdoor celebration, a sophisticated soirée, or an intimate ceremony with closest family and friends, our team would be honored to offer creative direction and overall event design for your special weekend!
My husband, our children, our home, glass of bold red, a good mystery, binging on old episodes of Parenthood, breaking a sweat, long hikes, cozy movie nights, the incredibly rare bubble baths, interior design, family outings, writing and receiving letters, baking, giving gifts, scavenger hunts, apple pie, interior design, traveling, planning trips, watching beach volleyball, our golden retrievers, serendipitous moments, movie soundtracks
