At Out West Events, we show up calm, flexible, and fully present—because your wedding day should feel effortless, not tense.

We believe the energy we bring into a space matters. If we walk into your day stressed, that energy spreads. And that’s the last thing we want for our couples. Our goal is to lead with steadiness—so you can stay grounded and actually enjoy the day you’ve spent months dreaming about.

Flexibility isn’t just something we offer—it’s how we work. If a timeline needs to shift, if weather throws a wrench in the plan, if something unexpected pops up (and it always does)… we adapt. We stay composed so you don’t have to carry that weight.

Because the truth is—your wedding isn’t just a checklist of logistics. It’s a deeply personal day, and how it feels matters just as much as how it looks.

When you work with us, here’s what you can expect:
✨A calm, reassuring presence behind the scenes
✨Honest communication, always
✨Flexibility without losing focus
✨A planner who truly gets it—and is here for you

We’re only taking 5 weddings in 2026. That means every couple we work with gets our full attention—and a planning experience rooted in care, trust, and ease.

These cuties were married on what might’ve been the windiest day known to mankind—but they took it in stride and made the absolute best of it. The love these two have for one another is palpable and we feel so lucky to have worked alongside them and to have been part of such a beautiful day.

Cheers to Savannah + Nick!

And cheers to the incredible vendor team who brought it all to life:

One of my favorite weddings to date. These two were an absolute dream to work with—and honestly, I’m a little sad it’s over. Allison was a true dream bride whose answer to everything was, “Whatever you think—I trust you.” (Amazing - right, vendors!?)

Cheers to this incredible couple for being so kind, so easy, and for giving us the honor of helping them celebrate in the most beautiful way. 💕

There’s nothing quite like having all your favorite people in one place.

No rushing—just time to soak it all in.

Micro-weddings have a way of slowing things down in the best way. Thoughtful, intimate, and full of meaning.

This day? A perfect reminder that less guests doesn’t mean less magic.

Y’all, forget the Pinterest budget breakdowns telling you to spend a set percentage on your venue, florals, or catering. Your wedding budget should be built around your priorities—not a formula!!

Every couple has a different vision, and no two budgets should look the same. Investing in the right areas means knowing what matters most to you and allocating your budget accordingly.

If you want a planning process that’s tailored, strategic, and focused on what truly elevates your wedding day, let’s chat! Click the link in our bio to schedule a consultation.

Another week, another roundup of favorite moments—this time from Jess + Ryan’s summer wedding at (one of my all-time favorite venues) 🖤

• First dance: set to Blink-182’s "First Date", covered by Taylor Acorn. If you haven’t heard it yet, open Spotify immediately because you’re missing out on a goodie.
• Unity ceremony: They planted a Columbine, the Colorado state flower, using soil from their childhood homes and their current home together. Such a meaningful way to bring their roots into their wedding day.
• Audio guest book: I will die on this hill—this is the best guest book option out there. I don’t think I can ever be convinced otherwise.
• A surprise dance for Mom: Because moms deserve their moment, too. This one had me happy crying through the whole thing.
• Seating assignments by party animal: so unique and so stinkin’ fun
• A donation in lieu of favors: Because let’s be honest, no one needs another koozie.

This day really was something special, and I’d relive it in a heartbeat.

The Hidden Costs of Planning a Wedding (That No One Tells You About)

You’ve planned for the dress, the venue, the dream floral installation—but what about the costs that don’t make it onto the Pinterest boards? Weddings should come with a level of service and experience that’s seamless, but that also means budgeting for the details that make it all happen.

A few often-overlooked costs to keep in mind:

✨ Labor Fees – Setting up (and striking) tents, tables, chairs, and florals isn’t just time-consuming—it requires a skilled team. Many vendors charge additional fees for this, so be sure to ask what’s included.

✨ Catering Service Fees – Beyond the per-person cost, catering often includes service fees to cover staff, logistics, and ex*****on. These can add up quickly, so clarify with your caterer upfront.

✨ Vendor Tips – Your vendor team works hard to bring your vision to life, and gratuities are a meaningful way to show appreciation. Plan ahead for tips for your catering staff, planners, photographers, and more.

✨ Postage for Invitations – Stationary and custom envelope liners often mean extra postage. Factor in the cost of mailing those stunning invitations and your RSVP return envelopes.

✨ Guest Transportation – If your venue is remote or spread out, arranging transportation ensures a smooth (and safe) guest experience. This is often overlooked but makes a huge difference in the flow of your day.

Details matter—and planning ahead for these costs ensures no surprises along the way. Need help navigating your budget? Let’s chat.

Kicking off our weekly Favorite Things series with a wedding that was equal parts stylish, fun, and completely them. Madeline + Jason’s day was filled with thoughtful details that made their celebration unforgettable.

• A cigar bar that kept guests mingling late into the night
• DIY florals that looked straight out of a high-end design book (for a fraction of the cost!)
• A full-blown ‘90s dance party that had everyone on their feet
• And the bride’s shimmery outfit change? Iconic.

This wedding was proof that thoughtful details make all the difference. Cheers to M + J for throwing a celebration that was stylish, fun, and authentically theirs!

How it all began ✨

Back in 2020, I planned my own wedding—right in the middle of, well… 2020. You all know how that went. Afterward, people kept asking if I’d ever thought about making wedding planning my full-time job. Truthfully? I hadn’t. But the more I sat with it, the more I felt that spark.

I’d spent years creating events in higher education, and once you’re an events gal, you never really go back. So, I took the leap. I hired a business coach. I followed her guidance. And in my first year? I booked five weddings. By year two, I had 20 couples on the books.

What started as a creative outlet has become something so much bigger. Right now, Out West Events is still my side gig, but I’ve found a balance that fills my cup—without leaving me pulling my hair out at the end of the day.

Curious about working together? Let’s chat. I’d love to hear your vision.

Oh, hey there! It’s been a minute, so let’s reintroduce ourselves, shall we? I’m kicking off a new weekly series sharing some of my favorite things—starting with my own.

Morning Rituals: A piping hot coffee with a splash of Chobani Coffee Cake creamer. Simple, but essential.
Evening Pours: A well-balanced spicy margarita or a crisp glass of white wine. The perfect way to wind down.
Sweet Indulgences: Donuts. Any and all, but cake donuts with chocolate or maple frosting? *Elite.*
On My Playlist: Podcasts in the car are a must. Lately, I’m hooked on Call Her Daddy, Just a Phase, and The Real Stuff. If you’re looking for something fresh, let’s compare notes.
Soundtrack of My Life: Country music. If it’s Tyler Childers or Charlie Crockett, you *know* I’m singing along - loud and proud.
Game Day Energy: Buckeye by birth, Razorback by degree, married to a Buff. College football season is busy in this house, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
My Whole Heart: A husband who cooks, a daughter who gives the sweetest hugs, and a dog who never turns down a nighttime snuggle.

I’d love to hear what we have in common—anything here speak to you? Let’s chat! ✨

CAROLINE + CLAYTON

These two. This day. This vendor team. Seriously, incredible.

When I first started my business, I did an exercise where I wrote down the qualities I hoped to find in my “ideal clients.” Caroline and Clayton checked every single box. They trusted me, valued my advice, and were open to all my suggestions. They’re kind, fun, and they radiate positivity to everyone around them—and that was clear on their wedding day. Forever missing our monthly meetings, but I’m so grateful they chose me and trusted me to be part of their day.

Cheers to the Riding’s. 🥂

That ✨ just married ✨ feeling.

It’s one of my favorite segments of the wedding day—one of the rare moments the bride and groom can be together, just the two of them.

Couples: once you’re pronounced married, take a moment to walk down the aisle and find a private spot to enjoy together. Take your time to savor this new chapter and celebrate your love, just the two of you. ‘Cause you deserve it 🖤
