Meet Brittany
Hi, there. I'm Brittany—the creative force behind Vela Event Design.
I am passionate about the pretty parts of wedding planning—the watercolor invitation suites, the lush florals—as much as the production piece. My systems are meticulous, so your experience can be magical.
Together, we keep the process incredibly organized, the fresh ideas flowing, and you at-peace, ready to be entirely present for the start of your marriage.

A wedding is more than a single day.
It is a deeply meaningful season in a couple's life. We believe the planning process should feel just as special as the celebration itself, with space for joy, presence, and beautiful anticipation.
Couples deserve to feel supported, cared for, and fully able to take in the beauty of this once-in-a-lifetime chapter. We give you permission to be yourself and bring clarity, organization, and seamless execution to the entire process.
"Luxury doesn’t have to be pretentious and boring. It's about an environment defined by modern elegant design, brought to life by revelry, love, and unfettered fun."
