The Darling Wedding Co

 

WOOHOO! We are finally launching The Darling Wedding Co! We will be transitioning all the social media pages, web pages, and advertising for Beyond Elegant Events to the Darling Wedding Co. (Bear with us while we make the necessary adjustments.) We are so excited to bring The Darling Wedding Co to life and share our vision with others!

Why the change?

Why would we change our name after thirteen years?  Over the last year of contemplating, discussing, planning, and designing, people have asked us many times why we want to change the name and branding for Beyond Elegant Events.  That answer is easy…. it was time!

When we started the business thirteen years ago, we had no idea that Beyond Elegant Events would take off as rapidly as it did, surpassing our wildest expectations.

Over time, our vision for the business has evolved and morphed into something different than what we set out to be. 


Instead of wanting to conquer the world and be the biggest, we determined we wanted to just be us, a small team wanting to make each client feel like they are part of our family…because the Darling Wedding Co is a family! You will see in upcoming posts on our blog and social media, we are still in contact with many of our past clients to this day. We love seeing our client’s birth announcements, work accomplishments, and celebrating their anniversaries!

We want to create a team with our clients complete with amazing wedding professionals to bring their dream day to life.  Planning a wedding is an enormous task, with heightened emotions, many challenges, and countless decisions.  We streamlined our process to help make the planning of such a huge day feel as stress free as possible. 

Since we are a small team made up of only two planners, Jayme and Katie (watch for our bios coming soon!) and a couple spectacular assistants, we only take a select few weddings each year.  This boutique wedding approach allows us more initialized attention to our clients.  A planner will never have two weddings in a weekend with us.

The Darling Wedding Co is a place for couples to find a planner, who not only has over thirteen years of knowledge to pull from, but to find a friend to call to vent to when the pressure gets to be too much. We promise to do everything in our power to turn your dreams into reality while providing a collaborative, creative, and fun process.

For more information or to keep up with all our new weddings, please check out our new web page at www.darlingweddingco.com!

Sincerely,

Jayme and Katie

The Loss of a True Talent

Almost nine years ago, I did my very first wedding.  It was a very nerve wracking experience being in charge of such an important day for a complete stranger!  One of my saving graces on that first event was working with an amazing florist who had a sense of style and a know how that calmed me to no end!  Andrea Berto at Fleurishes, was a mentor, partner and ultimately a friend since that very first wedding nine years ago!

I have avoided posting this for two weeks now, because I did not want to make it real by putting it is writing. However, the fact is a few weeks ago we lost one of the most effortlessly elegant, endlessly talented, and enormously kind peop
le I have ever had the honor to call a friend.

As a small business owner Andrea had to often make very difficult decisions on where to spend money and where not to. Leaving good health insurance as a luxury, which will leave her family with not only business expenses but medical bills as well. If you are able and willing to donate to her memorial fund...please stop by the website that was created in her honor.

I miss you Andrea and I will continue to strive to be even half the woman you were!
