Event Planning & Design Services
Event planning services with a colorful flair
The logistics, hours, and all of the to-dos of wedding planning can be a bit unsexy. That’s why I take it over for you, letting you both love the process while I manage the less-than-charming checklists. And boy do I get tingly when I talk about timelines.

weddings for wackadoos
As a proud founding member of the Wackadoos, let me introduce you to the very people that Anything But Gray Events revolves around (ahem, you). Wackadoos are free-spirited individuals who thrive on big personalities, bold designs, and distinctive self-expression. If this is you, passion and confidence run through your veins and you are always authentically yourself. You envision your wedding as a way to express who you are as a couple while showcasing your unique, kick-ass love to family and friends in a remarkable way.
Enter stage left, because this, my wackadoo, is your moment to find your light.
You are anything but ordinary.
(it's a good thing, I promise!)
contact me »
Reach out sooner rather than later, as I tend to book out quickly and take on a select number of clients per year. We typically work with clients from 12-14 months out of their wedding day.
How soon should I book?
Due to the large amount of detail required to make an event run seamlessly (as is my style), I do not offer day-of coordination. There are plenty of wedding planners who offer this service, but we are not one of them.
Do you offer day-of coordination?
I love a colorful wedding, but my style is first and foremost customized to you. This means designing events for all vibes and visions. I can create anything you can imagine!
Do you plan only colorful weddings?
Absolutely. Weddings, big or small, are my specialty. Every package is customized based on your needs — so whether it’s an intimate elopement, grand getaway or ballroom bash, we’ll make it happen in a sensationally seamless fashion.
Are small wedding planning services available?
Is a flamingo pink? Yes, I plan events anywhere in the world with an additional fee to cover travel costs. I am a frequent wedding planner for events in Los Angeles, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, and Ventura County.
Do you travel?
features include:
1. hello and here we go.
Say hello and we’ll schedule a complimentary video consultation within the week. Receive your personalized proposal shortly after. Once the contract and retainer are all set, we’ll begin the planning!

2. design and details.
Let's take your wedding vision from imagination to real life! With design boards, sourcing, and creative input, we’ll start to plan the design out together. I can walk into an empty room and see what it will look like finished without an issue. Your wedding will be one of a kind, just like you!
3. logistics lined up.
As a wedding planner with a stage management background, I’ll make sure that the logistics and vendor team line up. This is one of the many parts that I thrive in. My step by step process will allow you to live your busy life and not be overwhelmed by wedding planning!
4. showcase your love.
At last, your wedding day is here. With my big smile and dash of sass, I’ll coordinate the back-end details so you can soak up this decadent day.
