Guest Planner
Merry Beth Turpin of Aisle of View
Merry Beth Turpin began Aisle of View wedding consulting in 1989. Since then, Merry Beth has coordinated weddings for brides and grooms that have included private home weddings, venues in the Puget Sound area, an elegant affair in England, and destination weddings around the United States.
If you asked her clients to describe her, the comment made most often would be that Merry Beth is super organized and has an unflappable demeanor. She comes to the wedding fully prepared, having gone over every possible detail in advance, but can also make split-second decisions if a crisis occurs or if she has to move from Plan A to Plan B.
Weddings are Merry Beth's passion. You won't find a wedding consultant more dedicated and willing to work with you to turn your dreams into reality.
