Meeting Michelle Rago

We all have sources of inspiration. I believe our sources of inspiration are the essence of who we are, and it is that essence I seek to express and to celebrate in my work and my relationship with you.

Whether designing and executing a wedding in some far flung place or fussing over the details of a custom monogram in my New York City studio, one thing always reigns true—I am passionate about my work. I have always had many creative interests. I believe my love of horticulture evolved from the careful tutelage of my father and my ceaseless hunger to learn from my mother and my grandmother. I am not quite sure where my penchant for travel comes from…but it is ever present. To imagine that I have been able to combine my love of nature, entertaining, people, and travel is truly a gift!

My constant interaction with people is also a perennial fascination for me and one of the most enriching aspects of my business…so much so it was the inspiration for my first book, Signature Weddings, Creating a Day Uniquely Your Own. Writing and designing the book was an amazing journey, much like the journey you will take as you plan your wedding. Our process begins by identifying what is most important to you and your fiancé, and will unfold as we turn your sources of inspiration into the most unique and memorable day of your life.
