Vivian’s role is to take care of the details, logistics, and vendor communication so you can focus on the joy of this special time in your life.  Her reviews consistently mention the peace of mind she provided to couples and their families on wedding day.  A groomsman even took the time to write a review as he noticed her top-notch quality service and genuine care for everyone.

Recognized as one of the Best Wedding Planners in Greensboro, NC (2026) by Peerspace for service excellence.

 

Growing up on the NC coast in Wilmington, NC, she learned from a young age about being dependable, honest, and working hard by watching her mother navigate life as a single mother raising two sets of twins (Yes, Vivian has a twin brother and younger sisters who are twins!).  Her full planning package, “The Maria Collection,” is in honor after her mother, Maria Small.  Vivian is a people person who enjoys deep conversations with lots of laughing, volunteering with The Greensboro Guild, a good Netflix series, graphic design, salad lover to the core, and toes in the sand kind of girl (Wrightsville Beach, NC is the fave!).  She enjoys spending time with her husband of 30 years, Rick, and two sons, Ethan and Landon, whether it’s at a college football or baseball game cheering on Appalachcian State University or The Univ. of Southern Mississippi, and playing with her cute mini schnoodle, Honey.
