The Story of:

For years, I'd walk into stores in my favorite places (Downtown NYC, Martha's Vineyard, Upstate NY, South Florida, etc) and ask if they do registries. I always want to be the best wedding planner I can be - so offering my clients an interesting and cool registry experience gave me an edge. I'd ask retailers if they do registries - and would always get the same response - did it once, it was such a headache, or wish we could figure that out, its on the list...etc. 

At the same time, I have heard SO many of my clients complain about registries over the years. They’re so impersonal, its overwhelming, they already have their essentials and want unique things, Bloomingdales customer service doesn’t help…you name it, I’ve heard a complaint about. 

I couldn’t help but wonder why is everyone registering at big box places? Why can’t these little shops run registries? What needs to be done to figure this out?

Finally, I had a moment one day, (I was walking my dog, Penny, in the middle of the August heat in Tribeca) and I just said - I’m going to create something to solve this. I’m going to figure out a way to make these incredibly curated and beautiful boutiques register-able, and help couples find these wonderful options. We came up with the name Spennie (named after Penny’s “spending” habits, found a team of developers, and the rest is history. 

Spennie is a locally curated wedding registry connecting engaged couples to boutique offerings in destination wedding locations across the country.

Spennie is in beta mode, with our friends, family and current client base welcome on an invite basis to register. We have wonderful vendor partners located in Greenwich, Aspen, Hamptons, Charleston, NYC and beyond…and we’re growing our vendor partnerships every week. 

We’re seeking YOU to sign up, register, share the link with guests and start getting those gifts! All and any feedback is welcome - we’re new here! 

We’re also seeking fun collaborations and vendor partners. We want to help our couples discover the coolest places, so please help us meet these vendors if you have any personal connections.

Thanks for your support! Let’s spennie!
