Hello and welcome!

I'm thrilled and a little nervous about this but honestly, I couldn't be more excited for what we have created. If we haven't met yet, I'm Care, I've been a wedding and event planner in Arizona for nearly 20 years, with several years in California and New York City and started Sterling Weddings + Events here in 2007.

 

IDo-Arizona.com is 15 years in the making, no kidding in 2010ish. I started itching for an opportunity to meet like minded event professionals to collaborate on the bigger picture of our businesses and the industry as a whole.

 

My goal has always been to foster authentic relationships and meaningful collaboration within the wedding and event industry. Over the years, I’ve realized the power of genuine connections—coffee chats, site tours, and learning about the people behind the businesses.

 

With I Do Arizona, we’ve created a community-driven platform designed to help vendors grow their businesses intentionally. It’s more than a directory—it’s also a hub for education, collaboration, and creativity. From curated workshops and business strategy sessions to personal growth opportunities, we’re here to provide real value—without the hard sales pitches or endless fees and though essentially we are a online advertising partner, we have a lot more than just another expensive online "listing" opportunity.

 

Think of it as a casual, supportive space to connect, learn, market and thrive—on your own terms. Plus, we have some exciting initiatives in the pipeline like vendor and Couple forums, mentorship programs, an annual magazine so stayed tuned.

 

I couldn’t be more proud and excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to build this incredible community with all of you!

​

Let’s make this year one for the books! I’m excited to be on this journey with you and can’t wait to see what we create together.

With Excitement and Gratitude,
