We partner with clients who want a celebration that stands apart — not loud, but distinct. Not extravagant for the sake of extravagance, but meaningful, artful, and rooted in emotion. Together, we craft experiences that feel like stepping into a memory before it even becomes one.

Our work is guided by intuition, intention, and a deep respect for your story.

From weddings to social gatherings, every detail is thoughtfully curated to reflect who you are, not just what’s trending. The result is an atmosphere that feels effortless, personal, and timeless — where guests feel something the moment they arrive, and long after they leave.

Dare to be different.

Love notes from Our clients

  • "Alex is truly a one-of-a-kind wedding planner — a miracle worker and total rockstar all in one."

    It’s honestly hard to put into words just how incredible it was working with Alex. Alex is truly a one-of-a-kind wedding planner — a miracle worker and total rockstar all in one. She poured 110% of her dedication, creativity, and love into making sure our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and somehow even more magical than we could have ever imagined.From the moment we first met Alex, we knew she was something special. When we booked her wedding planning services, she immediately suggested we go out for drinks to get to know each other — and from that night, where we literally closed down the restaurant because we were laughing and talking for hours, we realized we hadn’t just found the best wedding planner.

  • "Alex is simply exceptional. She made the entire experience seamless, fun, and completely stress-free."

    From the very first conversation, Alex understood my vision for a 1980's prom experience and elevated it beyond what I could have imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully executed—from the flow of the event to the atmosphere, vendor selection, and those special touches that made the night feel truly personal. What stood out most was Alex’s calm professionalism and creativity - she truly thought about the details that were unique to me and ensured every vendor did as well. I was able to fully enjoy my celebration knowing everything was handled flawlessly behind the scenes.

No matter the request, she was always available and ready to help with anything I needed. Her attention to detail and ability to handle everything behind the scenes gave me complete peace of mind. On the big day, I was able to truly relax and enjoy every moment, knowing her team had everything under control. Thanks to her, our wedding was everything we had hoped for and so much more.

  • "Alex instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time."

    Planning a wedding from another state was initially overwhelming for us but once we booked with Alex, she instantly made everything easier and had us on the correct path the whole time. She went above and beyond any expectations that we had and always made sure that we were aware of any action items on a monthly basis so that we wouldn't miss out on anything. You could instantly tell that she has a passion for wedding planning. From providing her expert insights into design or cultivating the perfect vibe that we were aiming for, we couldn't have asked for more.

    - Sarah & Andrew

  • "Alex went above and beyond throughout the planning process and on our wedding day."

    Alex went above and beyond throughout the planning process and on our wedding day. She was our biggest advocate in every room and asked questions to ensure no detail was missed. She had frequent check-ins with my fiance and I ahead of the wedding, which led us to feel calm and confident leading into our wedding day. On our wedding day, Alex & her team made sure everything was executed flawlessly. I gave her some ideas on my vision, and she executed my vision better than my own vision!! She kept the entire day on track and ensured that any issue big or small was resolved quickly and without us even knowing. I could not recommend Alex more!!

    As a wedding videographer who recently worked with Alex, I cannot stress enough how vital planners are to ensuring your wedding day goes exactly as you envisioned it. She was organized, personable & two steps ahead the entire day. Working alongside a team like McCarron Events truly allows your videography & photography team to focus on giving you our most creative headspace.
