Wedding planning is an art, a blend of vision, detail, and personal touch. At EBJ & Company, Casey Cannon brings a heartfelt dedication to every celebration, ensuring that each wedding reflects the unique story and values of the couple. We spoke with Casey about her journey, philosophy, and approach to creating unforgettable weddings.
Starting in the wedding industry can be as unpredictable as it is rewarding. For Casey, it was an unexpected opportunity that shaped her future. “I started as a wedding assistant and was allowed to take over the planning company as the previous owner retired,” she recalls. This opportunity was more than just a career change; it began a journey that allowed her to combine creativity, organization, and a deep love for meaningful celebrations.
Reflecting on her first wedding, Casey shares, “In the early years, I was focused on the task at hand in delivering the wedding day in a way that met the couple's expectations.” It wasn’t long before she recognized the greater purpose behind each event. “After the first year, I realized the bigger picture and was inspired to create a process that couples could enjoy while planning their first day of forever,” she explains. This shift in perspective transformed her approach, inspiring her to put each couple’s story at the heart of the planning process.
Casey’s philosophy for EBJ & Company centers around a profound belief in the beauty of marriage. “Marriage is God’s greatest gift, and we are planning weddings to celebrate that,” she says with conviction. Her vision extends beyond the aesthetic; it’s about crafting an experience that resonates with love, faith, and joy.
This philosophy guides every wedding EBJ & Company plans, especially those that create a unique experience for guests. “We love to plan weddings for couples that want to invite their guests into an experience that elevates God and his gift and party big to celebrate with an unforgettable atmosphere and experience,” she adds. For Casey, wedding planning is more than just coordinating details; it’s a way to honor the love and commitment that marriage represents.
EBJ & Company’s offerings are designed to meet the needs of every couple, from those seeking comprehensive planning to those who need guidance with specific elements of their celebration. “We offer full-service wedding planning and design as our signature package,” Casey shares. For couples who want more flexibility, she also provides support for specific wedding day logistics and additional events such as rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and bridal showers.
Casey’s dedication to creating a personalized experience is evident in her approach. They are always happy to work with couples to create a custom package that meets their specific needs. This flexibility allows her to cater to couples with a wide range of styles, visions, and preferences, ensuring that each celebration feels uniquely tailored.
One of the most rewarding aspects of wedding planning for Casey is the ability to lift the burden from her clients, allowing them to fully enjoy their special day. “The ability to curate a unique experience for our couples that reflects who they are, while removing all burdens so they and their families can have a truly peaceful and fun day,” she explains, is at the core of her work. Seeing couples and their families immersed in the celebration, free from stress, is what makes her work truly meaningful.
With years of experience, Casey has a wealth of wisdom to share with couples navigating the planning process. Her advice? Focus on what truly matters. “Define your priorities and the items you are willing to compromise on and stick to it,” she advises. In a world filled with opinions and expectations, she reminds couples to stay true to their vision. “Not everyone will love your wedding as much as you do, and that is okay. As long as you walk away feeling like it was your perfect day that honored who you are as a couple, that is all that matters.”
Casey Cannon’s dedication to creating meaningful, joyful celebrations is evident in every wedding she plans. Through EBJ & Company, she brings a touch of grace, creativity, and purpose to each event, allowing couples to begin their journey together in a way that truly reflects their love and values.
