Making your Wedding Day Dreams Come True!
MEET THE DREAM TEAM
Brandi Swanson
Lead Planner + Designer
Hello, my name is Brandi. I am the owner of Next Chapter Weddings. I am also an ordained wedding officiant, and am serving (for my 2nd year) on the 2024 Board for the Association of Wedding Planners- Houston Chapter. I have a degree in business and am a certified Wedding Planner through the WEDDING PLANNER SOCIETY. I owned a successful dance studio for 7 years where I discovered my love for events! It is incredibly fulfilling for me to plan a unique and flawlessly executed event that my clients can look back on fondly for years to come. I also consider it a huge blessing to be gifted with so many wonderful long-term friendships that have been developed over my years of planning weddings. Nothing is more special than watching two people be in love. I strongly believe that true love is worth celebrating.
My philosophy By genuinely getting to know people and taking note of the special details of their lives, I work to create an event experience full of personal touches and thoughtful details that make their wedding day a true reflection of who they are.
​
My style I strive to provide an experience that is both relaxing and delightful by establishing a clear and organized plan, keeping communication light and fun, and helping clients stay focused on their love for each other and their highest wedding day priorities. I enjoy spoiling my clients throughout our time together.
​
My commitment Continuing to grow in this role is something I purposefully strive to do, so you will see me attending workshops, conferences and taking classes to ensure that our clients get nothing but the very best experience.
So get in touch with me… Let's get started planning your unforgettable day.
