Curating Memories One Celebration at a Time
At Starry Eyed Events, our goal is to serve you and your guests throughout the planning process and the wedding day. We strive to craft a one-of-a-kind celebration that speaks exclusively to you. We crave the couples who want to create an authentic, heartfelt event that truly reflects who they are. The couples who don't want just a cookie-cutter wedding, but rather create a day all about the celebration of their love.
As wedding and event designers, we create fresh, elevated concepts that make an impact, believing that every detail should be intentional. We believe that wedding and event planning is so much more than simply producing something aesthetically beautiful. It is curating a thoughtful experience for you and your guests that will last a lifetime in memories.
Our approach to wedding planning is designed for the modern romantics who want their wedding day to be one that tells their story. With an emphasis on wedding design, this benefits the couple who desires an elevated wedding design through custom details and organization.
