Earlier this month, we were honored to be named a top wedding planner and designer across the U.S. on the 2026 @loverly list.

We’re often asked about our style, niche, and ideal clients. It’s a tough question because we genuinely love working across a range of aesthetics and celebrations. But if I had to put into words what makes an event feel like an EFE event, it would look something like this:

A strong point of view. We love a bold, punchy color story, but even with a neutral palette, you can still expect texture, dimension, and interest.

Transformation. We specialize in complex tent build-outs and reimagining venues entirely, approaching spaces in fresh, unique ways.

Exquisite tabletops. Crisp linens, layers of carefully curated pieces, and meticulous attention to spacing and placement. And often, a statement chair.

Storytelling through design. Custom elements, unexpected moments, interactive guest experiences, and original concepts that make a celebration feel distinctive and personal. No boring details here.

Really great florals. We tend to attract clients who appreciate floral maximalism, but whether the approach is abundant or restrained, quality is always at the forefront.

High standards and true hospitality. We advocate fiercely for our clients and hold ourselves and our vendor partners to an exceptional level of service and execution.

Buttoned-up logistics. Behind every event is an incredible amount of operational precision. We have a team member entirely dedicated to processes, timelines, and numbers, and she is one of the best in the industry.

And fun. A high-touch planning experience that is personal, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable. Flawless, but never stiff, celebrations. A team that dresses for the design, becomes an extension of our clients, and is sincerely passionate about what we do.

To be recognized for work that means so much to me is incredibly special. I’m endlessly grateful for our team, who pour themselves into each event alongside me; the couples and families who trust us with such meaningful moments; and the creative partners who help us bring each vision to life.

Thank you, @loverly. We’re proud to be included.

A wedding venue should do more than look beautiful. It should have a personality of its own.

When we were dreaming up this space, we never wanted it to feel like a venue that could exist anywhere. We wanted it to feel connected to the property it’s built on.

That’s why the land has always been just as important to us as the building itself. One wouldn’t feel complete without the other, and together they’ve become the backdrop for so many meaningful wedding days.

Don’t leave the details that bring it all together until the end. 🤍

Signage, paper, color, texture—these may feel like the “small things,” but they’re what make your wedding feel cohesive, intentional, and entirely yours.

The details deserve a plan, too.

A private final moment on the dance floor, savoring the last few minutes of a day spent celebrating their love. Surrounded by candlelight, hanging florals, and their favorite people waiting outside to send them off into married life, Alec and Kelli’s celebration at Middleton Place was such a special one to be a part of.

A wedding day is constantly moving.

One moment you’re saying “I do.” The next, guests are enjoying cocktail hour before walking into a reception that feels completely transformed.

That kind of transition doesn’t happen by chance. It takes communication, preparation, and a team of vendors all working toward the same goal.

One of our favorite parts of hosting weddings is watching those moving pieces come together so every part of the day feels seamless.
