EPOCH CO+ Events

Travel makes a huge difference in your ability to design weddings. Seeing other countries, experiencing new cultures and how they view hospitality, trying new foods, visiting sites to see their art and architecture- it provides so much inspiration that must be explored firsthand. The Duomo di Siena or Siena Cathedral was one of those places! The Italian gothic maximalism was absolutely jaw-dropping and such a unique design compared to most cathedrals. It also immediately made me wonder if Tim Burton got any Beetlejuice inspo from this place….there were a few parallels 😅

2024 was an odd year. It wasn’t my favorite, but it didn’t suck either. We enjoyed 5 countries. 12 incredible events (including our very own Ashley’s!) Traveled to events in 3 different states with industry friends to enjoy being a guest among amazing creatives! Went to one of the top bars in the world. Was flooded with countless inspiration while traveling. Made new friends and overall, feel really optimistic for what 2025 has to bring. Cheers to 2024 being in the past, and seeing what 2025 has in store! (Fingers crossed it’s a wedding in Mexico, France and Italy 😎, and seeing friends at @rwmayakoba) ———— #destinationwedding #destinationweddingplanners #destinationweddingplanner #spainweddingplanner #franceweddingplanner #italyweddingplanner #belmondweddings #uniqueweddings #weddingideas #theknotweddings #funwedding #colorfulwedding #colorfulweddings #austinweddingplanner #texasweddingplanner #travelingweddingplanner

Can’t even put into words my gratitude - for my husband for putting up with asking for his opinions on our details constantly, for our friends and family who came to celebrate us, and for all of the incredible friendors who made our reception so special.

All of our tabletops have a story, vibe and color palette inspired by the couples we work with which makes them incredibly special! From Spain to Seattle, Montana to Mexico we have worked in wonderful locations and we can’t wait to see what designs come our way in 2025.

A day in the life of an event planner. — We started with a @nacebcs board meeting at the stunning @miramontcc at 10:30 am — @nacebcs Speed Networking Luncheon 11:30-1:30 (lingered with friends until 2 pm) — Hopped over to @urbanrubbish and @premiereeventstx until 3 pm to work on tabletop designs and linens for an upcoming design — Grabbed kids from school at 3:10. Rushed them to their Dads office to drop. — Met @premiere.amy house by 3:30 pm to head to houston for the epic H-Town Get Down merger event at @lightnins_good_times with @wipahouston @ileahouston @nacehouston @awphouston @mpi_houston — Finally arrived by 5:30 pm after insane traffic for rush hour and @astros game — Met new and familiar faces until heading back home around 7:30/8 pm, and officially walking through the door at 9:40 pm. Phew!!! What. A. Day!!

Thinking back to the ultimate week at @belmondmaroma - When I think of a place that embraces the tranquility of the ocean, supports local artisans and focuses on wholesome gastronomy of the region - this place is it! The way this resort is laid and designed makes it feel more intimate and welcoming, while still being competitive in size and accommodations to other resorts without feeling like guests are on top of each other. The onsite beach is phenomenal, the event locations on-property are breathtaking, and if you are looking for exhilaration, there’s no shortage of opportunities! It’s like they have everything down to a science here, and obsessed by us is an understatement.

What is your planning and design team doing for your wedding weekend? When designing a wedding we are constantly thinking through not only the beauty of the space, but the flow. Where are guests starting? How are they greeted? How do they move from one space to another and how do they know when or how to do this? What are they experiencing when in each space we’ve designed? How are they being served, surprised and delighted? How is the vendor team moving through the space? Are there wide enough pathways for servers? Are guests being bumped or crowded or alienated? Where is the best lighting? Best backdrop for key moments? Where are our focal points? How is your eye being drawn through the space as you enter it? What’s the size of the dance floor relative to the unique group we are serving? Do we focus on more of a dance heavy vibe? Do we need strolling entertainment to break people out of their shells? Or do we need to foster a more laid-back speakeasy vibe with ample plush seating, live music and a gastronomic experience paired with carefully curated cocktails? There are endless things to consider as a designer that a pretty mood board does not convey. Then it’s up to our production team to bring all the pieces and logistics together for a seamless experience leading up to and on the day. With ~75% of wedding planners being in business for less than 5 years, that means the mass majority are newer to this industry, with high turnover and less experience when it comes to all the finer details of an event weekend that seasoned planners bring to the table. We are so proud to be going on 10 years of event planning this year, and stoked for all the iconic events to come! If you’re looking for an experienced team who love curating refined and bespoke designs AND electrifying guest experiences that can rock the house after dinner, we hope you’ll pop into our DMs or over to our website to inquire! 🥂 CREATIVE TEAM Amazing Couple \ @kashmoneyprobz @marshward Ph

Planning an event in Mexico? Here are some tips from @jessica_romanticdestinations to help ensure your special weekend goes smoothly: 1) Consider the time of year! For example, if you’re planning something in Puerto Vallarta in August, it’s super humid (like 100% humidity 🥵) & hot. It would be for an indoor event to stay cool & avoid dehydration around that time. Also, be aware of hurricane season June to November. 2) If you’re having a destination wedding at an all-inclusive resort, check if kids are allowed. Some resorts are just for adults (this includes the events being hosted at that property), it’s important to know before you sign that contract. Talk to your hotel contact & planning partners to be sure. 3) Visit your venue before you decide! Don’t just rely on pictures online. Go see it in person to make sure it’s the perfect fit for your event. Rely on your planning & travel team to ensure the ceremony space, food quality & overall experience aligns with your vision. If you want a private outdoor area, check out where the ceremony would take place (& random guests won’t be intruding). As a travel agent, I’ve done 20+ site visits to different resorts in Riviera Maya & they’re all a bit different as to what is available for events & weddings so partnering with an experienced travel agent will narrow your search! 4) Choose vendors who have experience in Mexico! It’s important to bring in people who know how to work in a foreign country. Like a photographer who understands the timing needed for humidity & acclimating equipment needed for great photos. Or a planner that understands the climate & wind for appropriate design & production. 5) Hire an event planner that partners with a seasoned Travel Advisor! A travel planners connections to the hotel for rooming block negotiations, guest travel management, concessionary discounts & VIP experience is worth it! We have access to so many industry options & love helping ease the stress of m
