about us
First of all, congratulations! This is supposed to be such a special time in your life and we want to help keep it that way! Second, it's okay to be overwhelmed! I imagine you haven’t planned a wedding before, but guess what? We have! Many, many times.
If you are looking for a planner to just help with the basics, or you are only looking because your venue requires a planner...truthfully we might not be the best fit! We pride ourselves in making this journey fun and unique. We are your new planning best friends, your advocates throughout the process, the people you can text inspiration photos or 77 napkin color choices to and much more.
Let’s design beautiful memories together

Hi, I’m Chenelle! Founder of Wilde & Sage Co. and the person who’ll likely be adjusting your veil one minute and styling your tablescape the next. I’ve had an eye for design and a love for curating beautiful moments for as long as I can remember, whether it was rearranging my room as a kid or obsessing over table settings at dinners. That instinct for beauty, balance, and intentional detail has followed me ever since, and now, it’s at the heart of every wedding I plan.
My style is rooted in elevated design and a calm, get-it-done energy. I care about the details (probably more than most), and I’m not afraid to speak up when something’s off, but I also believe planning your wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming. You can count on me to be honest, easy to work with, and fully in your corner the whole way through.
I don’t do cookie-cutter. I don’t do chaos. I do create weddings that feel personal, elevated, and totally you.

1. I have three kids! Avery Wilde, Finley Sage, and Cohen Reed (who we call Co) hence the name Wilde & Sage Co
2. If it’s on Netflix, I’ve probably seen it. Avid binger over here
3. I'm always searching for the cutest food & coffee spots
4. Disneyland is our happy place, I have had a pass for 16 years straight! (Minus covid)
5. My favorite part from a wedding day is the first look, it feels like the first moment the day feels real for our couples! It is such a sweet moment.
1. I show my love by cooking (extravagantly), it’s my most favorite thing to do and you’ll never leave my home hungry.
2. If I’m not at a wedding or in my kitchen you’ll without a doubt find me by or in the water somewhere, I spend as much time in the ocean as possible and a sunset over an ocean view is my preferred end to any days.
3. Music is one of the sweetest parts of life for me. I love finding new music, finding the perfect song for each moment and making playlists for every little thing.
4. I’m a professional auntie at this point. 19 nieces and nephews (and counting), they’re my whole world and I never ever get tired of being with them.
5. My favorite part of wedding days is seeing the shared joy on the faces of a couples’ loved ones. There’s nothing quite like the way your family and friends cherish and celebrate your love.

Fun Facts
1. I was a college athlete and I take competition way too seriously (love a game night)
2. I love dogs and have a husky named Jet
3. I am the oldest child/grandchild in my family and that started my need to plan everything and organize events
4. I married my college sweetheart and took on the best last name ever “Joy”!
5. My favorite part of a wedding day is the moment the bride enters the ceremony. There’s something so surreal about everything that has led up to that moment finally coming to fruition. Bonus points if her partner cries!
