“SHE LISTENED CAREFULLY
to both of us and helped us make thoughtful and intentional decisions for our ceremony, design, and timeline. Wendy's wealth of experience, sharp eye for aesthetics, and thoughtful consideration of our unique preferences made our wedding day truly magical and stress-free.

I’ve spent the past 13+ years planning weddings and events across the country and around the world—from Detroit to Los Angeles, Denver to France—and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best celebrations don’t follow a formula. They feel like the people at the center of them.
I’m drawn to weddings with personality—the unexpected details, bold choices and thoughtful moments that make a celebration feel completely your own. But behind all of that creativity, I believe great planning comes down to something just as important: experience and leadership.
My job is to be the steady hand throughout the process. I’ll help you make decisions, keep the countless moving pieces on track, advocate for you, and lead your vendor team with confidence so you can actually enjoy the experience of planning your wedding.
After more than a decade in this industry, I know when to push for something better, when to find another solution and when to simply say, “I’ve got this.”
Because your wedding should be incredibly beautiful and ridiculously fun—but getting there should feel pretty great, too.
Hi, I’m Wendy.
Kind words.

“We cannot put into words how amazing Wendy is as a person and to work with as an event planner. She took the time to get to know us and our interests and that was her main priority. Her detail oriented spreadsheets were beyond helpful, her patience with us (whenever we changed our mind) and her willingness to meet and even to answer late-night calls made us feel important. She is truly a gem and we already miss her!”

"I cannot recommend Wendy Evelyn Events enough. We came into wedding planning with no idea where to start. From the very beginning, Wendy made the entire process stress-free, went at my pace and made suggestions and recommendations along the way. She helped me develop inspiration and theme ideas that felt completely "me", and then handled all the vendor coordination, venue logistics, and scheduling with such professionalism and attention to detail. Every little thing I would have overlooked, she had already thought of."

"Wendy helped us plan our wedding in September 2024 and it was truly the day of our dreams. She recommended our florist, found the perfect linens and helped us create the perfect centerpieces to match our book theme. She ensured that we never had to worry about who was where and when, with both vendors and guests! Everything ran perfectly smoothly (and if it didn’t, we had no idea and still don’t!). We absolutely recommend her to anyone for ANY event, large or intimate."
