Meet Your Planner

Hey there! It’s Paige, your wedding planning bestie!

My passion for events began in 2016, inside a Hannibal High School classroom, at our junior class’s first prom committee meeting. While all of my peers were worried about what our prom song would be, I was worrying about napkin colors. From picking our perfect venue to designing our favors, I threw all of myself into planning. I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing all of our hard work come to life.

After working in restaurants retail for nearly a decade, I gained my fair share of event coordinating experience. I learned how to roll with the punches, how to communicate effectively and got to spend my days being creative through merchandising. Through the years, close friends and family placed all of their trust in me to plan and execute their events until my now husband and business partner, Dakota, got engaged in 2022.

Our engagement lit a fire inside of me. I became so passionate and, frankly, obsessed with wedding planning. Dakota and I planned, coordinated and executed our wedding completely on our own, no detail was spared. Luckily, I was born with the “how hard could it be” gene, which gave me the confidence to design, create and execute every little detail of the day. I had finally found my niche.

Our name is inspired by our two yellow labs, Odin and Gus. They’re our office assistants, quality control experts and best friends in the whole world. Odin is our angel boy; he’ll steal your heart and your girlfriend. Gus is our wild child; he came crashing into our lives as a puppy and has made us laugh every day since.

After our wedding in 2024, we decided to really take this seriously. We launched Golden Boy Event Co. in hopes of giving other couples the day of their dreams, just like we did. From start to finish, we’ll be by your side, guiding you to your dream day.
