Some weddings leave you speechless. Not because of the grandeur or the florals—though those certainly help—but because of how seamlessly every detail reflects the couple. That’s exactly what Ever and Ivy Events delivers time and time again: heartfelt experiences rooted in connection, design, and joy.
With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, the founder behind Ever and Ivy Events brings a rare blend of practicality, creativity, and compassion to every event. From her early days working behind the scenes at venues to planning high-profile weddings for beloved couples like Abigail and Noah from Bachelor Nation, her journey is one of dedication and deep personal investment.
“I started as a venue coordinator, and then decided to transition into a full-time event planner and start Ever and Ivy Events 7 years ago.”
Let’s dive into her story—and the thoughtful process behind every wedding she curates.
Before launching her own company, she gained invaluable experience working as a venue coordinator, watching the moving pieces of a wedding fall into place. But it wasn’t long before she realized she wanted to be a part of something more personal.
“I was inspired by the amazing and creative people in the industry. I knew it was somewhere I wanted to be.”
Seven years later, Ever and Ivy Events has grown into a trusted name for modern couples seeking intentional design, smooth logistics, and a calm, caring guide throughout the process.
Ask her what lights her up most about planning weddings, and she’ll say it’s the people.
“Designing events that are personal to my clients, curating guest experiences, and building relationships with my clients that turn into friendships.”
That personal touch is the cornerstone of her brand. No template weddings. No recycled designs. Each event is tailored down to the tiniest flourish—from the place cards to the lighting that sets the evening’s tone.
Ever and Ivy Events offers a spectrum of planning services, ranging from simple coordination to full-scale design and production. Whether you're a couple who needs help tying loose ends or want a visionary to take the reins from day one, there’s a package made just for you.
“We offer month-of coordination, partial planning, and full planning and design. And yes—we can absolutely create a custom package based on what our couples truly need.”
The process is collaborative. And for those who book full-service planning, she’s in constant communication—checking in, brainstorming, and guiding every step of the way.
“We listen to our clients' wants and also give them other ideas and concepts to make it a tailored experience.”
Of all the weddings she’s planned, one stands out as especially unforgettable.
“Probably our Bachelor Nation couple, Abigail and Noah! Their wedding was so much fun and so unique to them. It was amazing to see it all come together, and to see how happy they were. I teared up watching them dance and just seeing the smiles on their faces all night long.”
It wasn’t just the aesthetics that made it special. It was the feeling—the laughter, the energy, and the undeniable joy radiating from everyone in the room.
One of the biggest hurdles planners face today? Bridging the gap between sky-high inspiration boards and real-world budgets.
“Tailoring people’s Pinterest expectations with real-life budget restrictions is definitely a challenge.”
But she has a few tried-and-true strategies to help couples stay financially grounded while still creating magic.
“Your guest count matters! Tapering the guest count can save thousands. My biggest advice is to make sure you don’t overspend on your venue. Your budget is all about proper balance, so talk to a professional planner and spend it wisely.”
Her advice for couples in the thick of planning is refreshingly honest and empowering:
“Hire a wedding planner! If your budget allows you to outsource that help, it can save you so much time and money. Even if it’s just coordinating, I promise that bit of help actually goes a long way.”
She knows how easy it is for couples to become overwhelmed. Having a trusted professional by your side—someone who sees the big picture and the smallest details—is often the difference between chaos and calm.
If she could go back and share one piece of wisdom with her younger self as she was starting her business?
“We will all make mistakes, but it matters how you handle it, learn from it, and keep trying to do better.”
That same grace and growth mindset is something she extends to every couple she works with. Because planning a wedding isn’t just about the day—it’s about the experience, the process, and the memories you make along the way.
At its core, Ever and Ivy Events is about more than planning—it’s about partnership, trust, and celebrating love in a way that feels deeply authentic. Whether it’s a grand destination celebration or an intimate backyard affair, each wedding is crafted with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart.
Looking for a planner who sees the big picture and the tiniest meaningful details? Ever and Ivy just might be the one to bring your vision to life.
