Planning & Designing Weddings and Events for the Bold, Rebellious, and Creative in Southern California and beyond!!

Z+D’s multi-day wedding experience began with an intimate sunset cocktail party at Raven’s Nest, a sanctuary where nature takes center stage.

No power. No water. No plumbing. No light, just the raw beauty of the desert, the vast sky, and the untamed elements. Every single piece—furniture, heaters, food, glassware, candles, firewood, florals—had to be delicately carried up the face of a steep rock formation to bring this experience to life.

The desert is chilly in late October, so we infused warmth into every detail (heaters, blankets, hand warmers, fire pits), ensuring our guests felt warm and cozy immersed in the magic of the moment.

After gathering for two unforgettable hours, they took a short walk to Camp Sarika for a rehearsal dinner with family!

Social Media: Are we Instagram friends, or are we just engaging in obligatory follows?

It’s called “social media” for a reason. But lately, it feels less social and more robotic—just endless scrolling through an overwhelming sea of content. Are we here to truly connect, encourage, and “hold space😝” for each other? Or are we all stuck on autopilot?

One big problem—We follow too many people and accounts. Our feeds are drowning in information—an endless grid of posts, a sea of stories, and countless red circles begging to be watched. How can we possibly care about, let alone connect with, that many people?

Some follows feel like obligations. Others are relics of a different season in life, accounts we outgrew but hesitate to unfollow for fear of offending. And then there are those silent watchers—engaged enough to view every story but never to drop a heart or a comment.

As someone who’s energetically sensitive and values real connection, I’m starting to realize how much these dynamics weigh on me. So, I’m choosing to declutter—energetically and digitally. To clear out the noise.

As I head into the new year, I’m intentionally thinking about where I place my energy and attention. Social media is an extension of our energetic field, and I want my online space to fill me up rather than deplete me.

Here’s the vibe I’m leaning into: I want to follow accounts that inspire me, make me laugh, teach me something, entertain me, or spark joy and inspiration. For the people I know IRL, I want mutual support and encouragement in my online space—a genuine exchange of energy. Otherwise, what’s the point?

Z + D’s wedding week at Amangiri was a vibrant celebration of love, friendship, community, joy, and self-expression. Surrounded by Utah’s breathtaking landscapes and their closest loved ones, every moment honored Z+D’s electric connection and shared journey.

Being welcomed into their love bubble over the past year has been a dream come true. They care deeply for their people and love fiercely, making it a true joy to co-create these unforgettable experiences!

Sharing Z + D’s wedding week felt like pure magic—a celebration of love, friendship, community, joy, and unfiltered self-expression. Then, as the election news hit, it felt like emotional whiplash, which jolted us from the highest high to a sudden low.

I know many of us are feeling the weight of it all right now. I’ve taken a few days mostly offline, spending time with Jordan and Hector, cocooning together, allowing ourselves to feel, process, and connect.

To everyone feeling scared, sad, and angry, I’m sending love. I’m doing my best to hold onto love, empathy, and compassion—powerful reminders of the world I long to live in, even when it feels hard to see.

Through it all, I believe it’s essential to honor our feelings—grief, anger, sadness, disappointment. Feelings are meant to be felt. Self-expression is a powerful tool for healing. I am trying not to be swallowed up by fear and the hateful rhetoric and intentional machinery of division and separation that’s consumed me in past elections. I am a lighthouse for Jordan, and she watches every move I make, her sense of safety is attached to my reactions.

When the time is right—maybe not today, this week, or even this month—we’ll find a way to transform this heavy energy into something meaningful and healing.

One thing I know for certain: I’ll keep sharing love here on this account, because that’s what Art & Soul Events is all about.

Yesterday was my one-year contact-iversary with Z+D! In the thick of production—during this exciting but chaotic phase—I suddenly remembered that exactly a year ago, they had reached out with a simple but special inquiry. It hit me 🥹. I got a little emotional and paused my work frenzy to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared.

On our first inquiry call, I wanted to connect and set expectations about how I am as a planning partner: if they wanted a traditional, formal, buttoned-up planner, I wasn’t their person. My systems and processes are tight, I have work/life boundaries, but my style is casual, warm, and collaborative (hello exclamation points!!!). They said that’s what they were looking for. They only spoke to me 🥹🤩

Over the past year, we’ve had so much fun together—from their whimsical engagement party to the epic camp bachelorette weekend, and finally, now their upcoming wedding. Together, we’ve created these temporary, alternative worlds that have become lasting memories for their family and friends.

Z+D love their people and they are so thoughtful about the way they bring them together. They also appreciate and care for their creative teams and we all get so excited to be a part of their events!!

Now I better get back to work.

The weather is changing and it is slowly starting to feel more like Fall! Reminiscing about this enchanted dinner party has me itching to plan another on

09/09/2024

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have spent the last year with Z + D planning their engagement party at Petit Ermitage, sleep away camp bachelorette extravaganza at Auto Camp Joshua Tree, and now their wedding week celebration at Amangiri. I’ve never felt so lit up, creatively inspired, stretched, grateful, proud, aligned, valued, trusted, and appreciated!

My best friend asked me the other day what I was going to do with myself when all of this is over 🥹🤯.

I know I’m going to miss this big adventure, and I’ll miss Zoe + Dempsey and our almost weekly meetings. They are now engrained in my daily life. Their wedding is all that my friends and family hear about these days, because I’m so immersed in this project. One thing I know for sure is that Z+D set a high bar for dream humans with dream projects and I’ll always remember what this creative partnership has meant to me!!!

Today I’ll be at my final site visit before their Fall wedding!

Paramour Estate Los Angeles Wedding Reception! Hayley, Chris, and their favorite people enjoyed a family-style dinner party on the Great Lawn of the enchanted Paramour Estate!! beautifully captured all of ’s incredibly delicious food. I love how all of the vibrant colors shine through in these images! As they say, we eat with our eyes… and Chef Terri dazzled us 👀🤩

With our catering partners, we spend months working on the menu development, tasting, menu revisions, food presentation details, rental selections, menu language for print, wine and signature cocktail selections. Hundreds of emails and long meticulous planning meetings are had. It is a beautiful thing when you see it all come together and it tastes even more delicious than it looks!!

🍸💚 Let’s talk attire style guides for guests…the talented is my secret weapon! My clients share their desired level of formality and general vibe of the event. I then send Sophie my design deck and links to the venue, notes about the general design direction, color palette, and the feeling (energy) we want to create. Sophie digests the information and creates an attire style guide for the event. We then put the attire guide on the wedding website for guests to enjoy.

In this particular case, Hayley wanted to make sure the guests knew how spectacular the Paramour Estate is. She didn’t want guests to show up and feel underdressed or feel like they missed an opportunity to peacock if they wanted to. 🦚 This beautiful lady in green understood the assignment!!

Nadia, Liz, and I had a post-wedding Zoom yesterday to catch up! We reminisced about their vibrant and soulful wedding and shared our favorite moments and forever memories. They asked me if it really was as smooth on the production side day-of, as it felt from their side…and it was! We talked about this incredible photo sneak peek that .chelle had just sent us. They were so happy they invested in photography! They can’t wait for the video which they are so happy they said yes to (I will always push for video, no regrets)!

They shared how all of their friends and family couldn’t stop talking about the beautiful florals from , the delicious food and cocktails, and the best dance party thanks to and .

We talked all about how weird it is to go from constant intimate communication to almost nothing once the wedding is over 🥹. I encourage my couples to stay connected. Hopefully, we will share a happy hour or a meal in the future because we are bonded for life.

There is nothing like a pool party after a field trip to the Joshua Tree National Park! On day 3 of Zoe + Dempsey’s sleep away bachelorette camp, their guests enjoyed pool time, a burger and fry bar bbq, a nostalgic camp craft table, and some pool side acrobatics 😅. Their friends are so much fun!!! 🩳🩱🕶️👙☀️🥾🧗

I love a nice big wide establishing shot!! You get a better feel of the event scope and ground space we covered. When I went to film school, our teachers (who were working tv/film pros) really hammered in the point for us to shoot the wide shots first so we have coverage of everything… and it has always stuck with me. Thank you for these aerial shots and thank you for these horizontal shots. 🤩

I can’t wait to share more details from each incredible day of Zoe + Dempsey’s 4-day bachelorette party. We had a blast at Joshua Tree with 60+ guests and 30+ vendors!!

When I think about what I want to create more of in 2020, I keep coming back to Eri & John’s #welcometomiddleton wedding! Eri & John’s wonderfully-weird minds dreamed up an immersive wedding experience that sent their guests time-graveling back to 1963. Their wedding guests boarded a shuttle (in a random hotel parking lot) before heading to a top secret location. Eri & John, pre-recorded audio that each bus played while in route to the secret film set destination in the middle of nowhere!! When the guests arrived they were greeted by actors dressed in period appropriate attire and directed to the champagne hour in the vintage diner set!! A soda jerk served champagne and the “Donna” waitresses served appetizers all while sticking to the script. Then an “incident” happened on the hill above the gas station set (yes, I cued the fog machine and siren) that brought all of their guests up the hill for the ceremony in the wrecking yard. Also...the officiant was an astronaut and stumbled out of a junk container. No big deal!! 😱 I’m so EXCITED just thinking about this day. We had a team of immersive actors, we had audio/visual special effects, we had 8 of us on walkie-talkies working through each detailed cue. It was a massive wedding production with a dream team! When Eri & John originally shared their wedding concept, I was SCARED of it. That’s how I knew I had to be a part of it. The film school graduate in me was screaming with excitement. So yeah, this is what I want more of in my life!!! I want more couples and clients who want to get WEIRD!! I want to create cinematic, immersive, experiences in unexpected places, that transport guests into a different world. ⚡️DREAM TEAM ⚡️ Bowing down to the supremely talented videographers, @paperbirdweddings!

WEDDING PLANNING & DESIGN FOR THE BOLD, REBELLIOUS, & CREATIVE WITH AN EMPHASES ON STYLE, PERSONALIZATION, & GUEST EXPERIENCE!

At Art & Soul Events, we specialize in Planning & Designing custom weddings and events with complicated logistics. We jump at the chance to conquer a new wedding venue or town. You'll often find us in raw spaces that have never hosted a wedding. We love to create wedding and event magic in unexpected places like a boulder cove in Joshua Tree, a movie set in the middle of nowhere, a forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains, or a private estate.

We streamline the wedding planning process and make it enjoyable and easy to navigate. We have the tools, advice, resources, and experience that will save you time and money. We will connect you with our network of amazingly talented and trustworthy vendors, productions crews, and wedding artists. We will celebrate with you, cheer you on, and guide you through the stressful bits. We will obsess over the rental order and timeline particulars, so you don't have to.

Developing relationships with our couples and vendor teams is a critical part of our process. We want to build a solid foundation, so you will feel our support and genuine investment in you. We want to get to know you so we can infuse personal details into the details of your event. Wedding Planning is exciting and fun but can also be emotional and stressful at times. Expectations, budgets, and family dynamics all come into play. We are here to lean on and advise you every step of the way.
