About

I first fell in love with the charm of Prince Edward County six years ago. Over the years I have spent some of the best and most relaxing days of my life in the County.

When the world (and big fundraising events!) changed in 2020, I felt a pull to make the County my forever home. I followed my heart and bought my dream home in Wellington in order to live the life I’ve always dreamt of. While I will always have a city girl work ethic (and a condo in the city!), Prince Edward County is now home and Lilac & Vine is now serving clients from all over the Province and beyond. My office is now a short stroll from the lake and within walking distance to my favorite winery.

When I’m not planning events, I spend my days exploring every corner of the county to find one-of-a-kind hidden gems and flashes of delight that will make you stop, smile and wish for time to slow down. I can’t wait to welcome you to beautiful Prince Edward County and share my passion for this incredible part of Ontario with you and your guests.

I DELIVER world-class weddings and experiences for people looking to escape the big city for an authentic event experience in the heart of quaint Prince Edward County.

As winter turns to spring, the county begins to paint in technicolour as thousands of wild lilac bushes turn into blooming forests of mauve and pink. As the breeze comes off the lake and finds its way to backyards and side roads, the scent is intoxicating. Come June and July, it’s time for the lavender to show off!

Hinterland Wine Company is always my first stop in Prince Edward County when I am touring. They are best known for their sparkling wine!

HINTERLAND WINE COMPANY

There are SO many options in The County so gastronomic favs are usually dependent on what I’m in the mood for! I love having a great glass of wine and a meal overlooking the water at the Drake Devonshire, but really enjoyed grabbing the best french fries and homemade sparkling soda in the county at Jamie Kennedy’s Fry Stand!

CULINARY FAVS

Carson’s Garden + Market…. followed by a quick sandwich at Flossie’s Sandwiches.

SHOPPING

Don’t let the laid back vibe of the County fool you, we still like to get pampered and for that I suggest a visit to Bloomfield Beauty Co. It’s locally owned by two sisters and a perfect place to book for your girl’s weekend away...I guarantee you will leave glowing and feeling refreshed.

PAMPERING

Beach & Vine, located in the heart of Wellington, just a quick walk to the Drake Devonshire or the beach and a 25 minute bike ride to the wineries!

It’s actually my own newly renovated (and very Instagrammable property) that I occasionally rent out. It has everything you need for a beautiful weekend away.
