Who We Are

ALTAR was born from owner Kelsi Johnson’s many interests: the art of a welcoming dinner party, curated home goods, reverence in nature, locally grown flowers. Her aesthetic sensibilities, coupled with the “secret” teacher superpower of planning large-scale projects down to the detail, naturally led to the creation of a wedding planning service (after years of assisting at events during summer breaks).

ALTAR is its own niche of intimate, design-forward wedding celebrations that are stress-free and easy for our couples. We affirm that weddings do NOT have to be huge overdone affairs draped in polyester and satin. By crafting events for 50 or less, we can focus your budget on the GOOD stuff, and are freed of traditions that don’t serve.

Our micro wedding model brings in 7-8 vendors at once, saving our couples tons of time on their end while leaving the thoughtfully curated minutiae to us.

Meet you at the Altar!
