Wedding Planning

Hi lovely! I’m Athena, Minneapolis Wedding Planner (I’m also a Brooklyn Wedding Planner for friends in New York City!). I’ve been obsessed with weddings since I was five. Making new friends and being immersed in their excitement, love, and happiness-especially in the most beautifully transparent moments- is the mother freaking dream, baby!


As your wedding planner, I bring your authentic details to life through careful curation, attention to detail… and perhaps a few margaritas.


I’ll take your sparks and create them into one cohesive theme. From cookbook guest books, pet-a-puppy social hour, tomato-vine inspired centerpieces, and mushroom-themed details, it’ll be one kick-asssss wedding! Whether you’re looking for planning assistance from start to finish or just need help with the day-of logistics, we’re here to empower you through it all! I believe it’s more than a day; it’s about experiencing a journey.


Ready for the Full Empiria Experience?


Our services aren’t limited to your wedding day! We also offer planning and design services for additional events such as showers, rehearsals and brunches. Perfectly placed, juxtaposed artistry is my biggest passion and using my talent to celebrate your love gives me instant jazz hands. I can’t wait to be your biggest cheerleader and share in your incredible memories.


Do we sound like the right Minneapolis Wedding Planner for you? Let’s do this thang!

If I did my wedding all over again, it would be an intimate, vibrant, eclectic celebration.
