Vibrant, alluring and thoughtful events, designed with a purpose in mind
Purposely Designed Event Planning is more than a planning and coordination company. We allow you to live out your dreams, and bring your visions to life (yes, even if you have no idea what they are yet). Our team is dedicated to transforming your anxiety into stress-free fun.
We began our journey planning weddings for couples in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have expanded into a multi-tiered company with a nationwide clientele. We are dedicated planners committed to providing extraordinary, seamless, “without-a-hitch” events.
You’re not the planning type. We’re happy to say that we are.

Here’s why we’re that special one in a million.
There’s plenty of fish in the sea. What makes us different, you ask?
Every event, couple and client, hands their special moments to us with full trust. Because we don’t take that trust for granted, we refuse to invite you into a space of rush or misalignment. We make you feel like a true partner, and your vision remains top-tier for us.
We promise that your event planning experience doesn’t have to play out like a dramatic reality show. In the right hands, it can be an unforgettable and joyful process that you’ll rave about for decades to come.
We are flexible with you as a human, first, and will never brush you off simply because we’re the experts. If you’re excited, or even a little afraid, we validate your emotions, every time.
We pride ourselves on our intimate experience. You’ll never feel like you’re working with a corporate giant, and will always have partners to journey through with you.
