Brie is looking for that one big break and finally finds it when she is approached by the wealthy CEO of a chain of hotels, Holt Walker (Christopher Russell).

Holt is set to get married in just two weeks and asks Brie to plan his wedding. The catch is that the wedding is going to take place at his family's estate and is going to be a lavish affair with hundreds of guests attending. Brie is thrilled at the opportunity and accepts the job. She quickly gets to work and begins the planning process. However, Holt's overbearing mother, Maureen (Jennifer Gibson), is not too pleased with her son's choice of wedding planner and is constantly meddling in Brie's plans.

Despite Maureen's meddling, Brie is determined to make the wedding a success. She flies out to the estate with her assistant to continue with the planning process. However, things don't go exactly to plan when Brie discovers that Holt's ex-fiancé, Christine, is also staying at the estate. Christine is Holt's childhood sweetheart and the two of them have a lot of history together. Brie quickly realizes that she has to contend with Christine in order to make sure the wedding goes smoothly.

As Brie continues to plan the wedding, she and Holt begin to spend more time together. They both start to develop feelings for each other but are hesitant to act on them. Holt is still dealing with the fallout of his failed engagement to Christine while Brie is trying to establish herself as a wedding planner. Despite their reservations, the two of them find themselves drawn to each other.

Things come to a head when Maureen decides that she wants to take over the planning of the wedding. She thinks that Brie is not doing a good job and wants to make sure that everything is perfect. This causes a strain between Brie and Holt as he is caught in the middle of his mother and his wedding planner. Brie decides to step down as the wedding planner, but Holt isn't willing to let her go.
