Ana Skidmore - Owner, principal event planner

Years in the business – 2023 is our 16th season!
Why do I do this? The answer to this question has evolved over the years! I am in a phase of business where I am enjoying running the company and managing the business side of things. I love that each wedding is unique and different, and that this industry is CONSTANTLY evolving – it keeps me on my toes!
Favorite wedding day moment – When you walk into your reception space for the first time, before guests enter the room. It gives you some much needed alone time, and a chance to take in and appreciate all the work we have done together!
Most exciting trend coming up – I am seeing quite a few of our couples tone down the guest list to be able to bring in everything they want for their wedding weekend. It makes it a much more intimate event, and allows for plenty of creativity in the decor and design!
My wedding date – June 30th, which is the day before my birthday. Fun fact – in 2012, we had two couples get married on that date. Both brides also had birthdays on the following day!
What I would change if I had a do-over – This is a difficult question, and I would have such a hard time planning my own wedding after this much time in the business! I would probably cut the guest list at least in half, and create a crazy memorable weekend from lunch on Friday to brunch on Sunday!
Where did the name come from? My business name took SO LONG for me to come up with back in 2007. My now husband nicknamed me TwoFoot in college, because I ran for the University of Michigan (Go BLUE!) and attempted/failed at the steeplechase. Creativity is very important to me, and I knew I didn’t want my real name in the business name, so TwoFoot Creative was born!
