About Evermore Occasions
Evermore Occasions
Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.
My approach is simple: hear, help, and handle. I am here for YOU, to make sure you are getting all you want and need on your momentous day, with as little stress as possible. Your event is unlike anyone else’s, and you will never be just another client to me. Let’s chat about how I can help you commit to the love of your life in style.

Dream Wedding Planner!
Carmen and her team made wedding planning easy and enjoyable. From the beginning, Carmen worked with us to develop an aesthetic that was elegant and personal to us. If we had a specific vision for something, she showed us how to execute that vision within our budget. If we weren’t sure what we wanted, Carmen presented us with different design options to help us figure out what we liked. She had great ideas, and we trusted her judgment completely. In choosing vendors, Carmen presented us with various options within our budget and gave thoughtful notes and recommendations. If we wanted to consider vendors outside our planned budget, Carmen was always ready to discuss additional options as well as ways to offset additional costs if we decided to spend more in one category. We trusted Carmen’s recommendations completely, and she never led us astray. Once we chose vendors, Carmen made sure our contracts addressed all of our needs and helped us understand industry standards and expectations. As we got closer to the wedding, Carmen took full responsibility for communications with vendors and even fielded questions from our family and wedding party in the lead up to the big day. This was a lifesaver and allowed us to focus on the important things. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team ensured everything ran perfectly. Someone from Carmen’s team was always nearby if I needed something--but I didn’t because it was all so well planned! Between the ceremony and reception, Carmen’s team set aside two of every appetizer along with two of our signature cocktails to ensure we got to try everything. When we arrived at the reception, everything looked beautiful. The set up and take down happened so seamlessly we weren’t even aware of it, and anything we were taking home was packed up and placed in our bridal suite waiting for us at the end of the night. It really was our perfect wedding. My husband and I, along our families, will always be grateful to Evermore Occasions for giving us the celebration of our dreams!
Bride
Evermore Occasions gave us the wedding of our dreams! Carmen met with us early to make a design plan for a beautiful aesthetic with lots of personal touches. When we had a specific vision in mind for any aspect of the wedding, Carmen made a plan to execute that vision within our budget, and if we were not sure what we wanted, Carmen showed us multiple design options to help us figure out what we liked. If we did not have a strong preference about a decision, we went with Carmen’s recommendation because we trusted her completely to make the right choice for us. She took the time to get to know us and our taste and preferences so that she could select options that we would love. We appreciated that Carmen always gave us multiple vender options with detailed notes as well as her thoughts and recommendations to assist us with choosing vendors. Carmen always worked within our budget and did not try to push us to spend more than we were comfortable with. But if we asked to see vendors above or below the budget range we had discussed, she was always ready with that information and prepared to discuss how we could offset any budget increases. Once we had our vendors selected, Carmen made sure our contracts addressed all of our needs and facilitated any questions or issues we wanted to negotiate. She also gave us valuable insight to understand industry standards and what we should look for from vendors. In the lead up to the wedding, Carmen fielded questions and communications from all our vendors, and even from family members and the wedding party as we got close to the wedding, which was unbelievably helpful. Carmen and her team truly took all the little things off of our plate in the weeks and days before the wedding so that we could focus on the important things. On the day of, Carmen personally took care of making sure all the important things were handled, and someone from her team was always there if we needed something (although we didn’t because everything was so perfectly planned!). Between the ceremony and reception, Carmen made sure we got to try our signature cocktails and each of the appetizers so that we did not have to worry about missing them during cocktail hour. The set up and take down of everything happened so seamlessly that we weren’t even aware of it, and at the end of the night, all the leftover items as well as any gifts or cards were perfectly packed up in our bridal suite. Carmen and her team made the wedding planning process easy and fun, and the day itself was everything we wanted and more. My husband and I, as well as our families, will always be grateful to Carmen for giving us a beautiful, memorable, and incredibly fun celebration of our love. Thank you, Evermore Occasions!
Incredible
Carmen and her team are unbelievably incredible. She is dedicated, thoughtful, and hardworking. It was super helpful to have someone to bounce off ideas, think through every detail, and to give me advice. I cannot recommend Evermore enough!
Wedding Planner of my DREAMS
There is truly not enough praise I can give to fully encapsulate Carmen. We started to work together right after I had booked my venue and we were the best team all throughout my wedding planning process. Even when I didn't have a true vision for my wedding in the beginning, Carmen knew just the right things to ask to see what I envisioned and she made all of my dreams come true (and more). During the planning process, Carmen is incredibly easy to communicate with. She sends regular check in emails and kept me in the loop with everything that was being done, needed to be done, and any vendor related updates in addition to zoom/phone calls. The software she uses is also incredibly user friendly and made all of the finer details so easy to visualize. On the day of our wedding, Carmen was somehow everywhere all at once and dealt with any hiccups with total grace. She conducted the set up and tear town with ease- it has truly been a pleasure to experience her work firsthand. Planning a wedding is hard work and choosing your planner is a major part of your big day. They're the person you'll spend the majority of your time with aside from your partner. I would not hesitate to recommend Carmen to anyone looking for an organized, thoughtful, and well-rounded planner.
