Who We Are

Passionate Event Designs approaches each event that we create with the client's vision at the forefront of each design. We specialize in weddings and social events, and our only limitation is our client’s imagination. Regardless of the style, location, and size of the event, Passionate Event Designs creates the affair that fits perfectly with our client’s vision and personal style. Our philosophy is ensuring all our clients are well taken care of, their needs are always met, we commit to their vision, and our passion will expressed through what we promise. Passionate Event Designs wants every client to have the ability to sit back and enjoy their special engagement knowing they are in capable hands. We are dedicated to making our client’s special day not just about details, but also about an experience that will last a lifetime.

WHAT IS AN EVENT DESIGNER?

Event designers are focused on creating stunning visual displays at your wedding or social event.

We will likely only know you, your fiancé, and your closest family members who may have influenced your design decisions.

Our pros will personally source the best linens, flowers, and details (think: escort cards, table numbers, signage, cake toppers, etc) for your wedding in order to bring your design to life. Sometimes that means creating the details by hand! From your event colors to your theme, designers also create a cohesive brand for your soiree.

Our prime purpose is to transform your space. While many stylists will create contracts that allow them to collaborate with your photographer to style your event details for photos later in the day, most designers will leave once setup is complete and will return at the end of the night to pick up their materials. Our designers are not event planners.

Because we creating a personal brand for your wedding day or special event, the option to work with us for the month leading up to your event likely won’t exist. And it shouldn’t! Plan to work with our design team for at least 6 months to 1 year at least.
