“At the core of our work is a desire to create a greater good in the world through celebrations and our everyday actions. For us, this means prioritizing clients & vendors whose espoused values and real practices align with our vision for an equitable and inclusive future for all.”

I have always been the go-to person for weddings and events among my family and friends. In 2004, I decided to combine my passion and expertise for impeccable event planning. Thus, Events by Sheavonne was established.

My clients value my flawless style, meticulous attention to detail, and relentless work ethic. I am supported by an exceptional team that any planner would envy. Together, we consistently exceed expectations to ensure our couples enjoy the ultimate wedding planning experience. My career as a wedding planner has afforded me the privilege of meeting incredible couples, and I take pleasure in discovering their love stories and understanding their aspirations for their wedding day celebration.

I have curated a network of top-notch vendors and have experience with some of the most distinctive venues. The paramount goal of Events by Sheavonne is to ensure our couples experience an event brimming with love, laughter, and unwavering support.

Whether it be a design focused on monochromatic yellow flowers, embroidered linens with inside jokes, hand-sourced vases, dramatic custom draping, modern chandeliers, LSC is here, armed and ready, to make it happen.

After years of planning events, I noticed the more that an industry professional was deemed an “expert” with regard to their hard skills, the less they seemed to value the expertise of lived experience, whether that be with their clients, their vendor teams, or even their own teams. “Upscale” became synonymous with “homogenous & exclusive”; there was a clear devaluing of the ways professionals with marginalized identities could bring a unique perspective to their client’s special day. Similarly, I noticed clients with marginalized identities were given cookie-cutter experiences that often missed the opportunity for their day to be as unique as they are.

I founded withMavens Events to shake up the wedding & events industry. I envision a world where event “expertise” goes beyond teachable skills & includes the ways lived experience influences how we approach our craft. No two relationships have the same love story, so why should they receive a one-size-fits-all approach to planning their big day?
