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.

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!

Maximalist Wrensmoor Castle Dinner Party!

The family-style meal was delicious!!!

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.
