The Design & Event Direction experience

Design & Event Direction is for couples who already have ideas—but need structure, clarity, and a strong point of view to bring everything together.

We step in early to guide decisions, refine what doesn’t belong, and lead the overall direction of the wedding so nothing feels disconnected along the way.

By the time your wedding comes together, it doesn’t feel assembled.

It feels intentional.

Meet your planner

Hello, I’m Averi.

I design and direct weddings shaped by atmosphere, emotion, and intentional form — with clear vision and strong creative leadership

Couples come to me for a clear point of view. They stay because they feel fully supported.

I listen closely. I catch what others miss. I lead every step with calm precision so you can stay present throughout the process.

My role is clear: to guide the vision, manage the complexity, and ensure everything feels cohesive, elevated, and unmistakably yours.

  • "Because of Averi, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day.”

    “Choosing Averi was the best decision we made — she brought everything together seamlessly.  She has an incredible eye for design and created something that felt elegant, unique, and completely us. Our guests are still talking about it. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day.”
