A fresh take on summer-to-fall design for the Johnsons! A day filled with layered details, playful color, a little game day 🐽 flair, and so much personality.

Sending our love and prayers to our friends at Old Edwards Events— we are devastated to hear about the fire damage to the Pavilion. This incredible venue holds so many unforgettable memories with my team and our dear clients.

Old Edwards is such a special place, made even more special by the incredible people behind it. We’re wishing them strength in the days ahead and all the very best to restore this beloved property. We know there are many more beautiful celebrations and memories still to come. 🤍

Five years ago today, I launched Gretchen Larkan Events.

At the time, I was newly married, still working my corporate 9–5, and honestly terrified to turn my favorite hobby into a career. Within the first year, I left my job in operations and had a fully booked calendar of events.

When I think about the last five years, I’m not most proud of the events I’ve planned or the milestones I’ve reached. I’m most grateful for the people—the couples and families, many of my very best friends, who trusted me with some of the most important days of their lives. The vendor friends who became true friends. The community that has supported me, encouraged me, and made this job so much more meaningful. And the incredible support system that has stepped in time and time again, helping me balance running a business while being present as a mom.

I’m thankful for every step the Lord has guided and every day that I get to do work I truly love. Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, trusted, and cheered me on along the way.

Here’s to the past five years—and all that the next five have in store.

Happy Birthday, GLE. 🤍

I met a few years ago while planning her brother’s wedding and hoped she would be a GLE bride one day! To know her is to love her and I have never been more sad that planning is over. Cheers to the Roses and being friends forever 🤍

Sneak peeks are here 🥳 The rainiest week turned into the most sunshine-y wedding day for these two!! The pale yellows and lush greens scream spring and we had so much fun curating every special touch of custom throughout this space.

A year ago, we celebrated the most fun couple—still one of my most favorite days. Let’s reminisce! 🥳
