Elevate Events & Design
Planning warm and sophisticated destination weddings. Based in Wyoming.
We are a local and destination wedding planning firm, specializing in refined, sophisticated and FUN wedding planning and design. We like our couples to feel like they have an expert and friend on their side to guide them through all of the different aspects of the wedding planning process, including budgeting, vendor selection, design and (finally) instillation of the wedding weekend.
Love Notes
“Amanda and her team were amazing in terms of organization and communication. Throughout the entire planning process, I always felt very in the loop and I’m sure my other vendors did too. She was my go-to girl leading up to the wedding and throughout the wedding day. She made sure things went smoothly and was able to iron out any kinks that showed up throughout the process. She makes a killer timeline too! I loved the organization. :) I would recommend her to any bride! She was some of the best money we spent.”

“Amanda facilitated communication with the various vendors, particularly the venue. She was emotionally supportive through planning challenges and was solution oriented at all times. During the multi-day event, Amanda was able to subtly and seamlessly coordinate activities and guests, keeping an uplifting positivity. We believe this really enhanced everyone's experience. Give Amanda a call early to discuss your vision for an event. You won't regret it!”
— Andrea
“Amanda went above and beyond to make our day a dream come true! She is beyond organized and talented and has a very keen eye for design and logistics. Her background in events is very well rounded and that shows on the event day! As a wedding planner myself, trusting someone with my own day was no easy task and Amanda went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of.Having a wedding planner like Amanda is necessary for a seamless and joyful wedding day! Look no further than Amanda for an incredible experience!”
— Sarah
“Had the pleasure of working with Amanda and Elevate Events and Design this summer. As a wedding invitation designer I appreciated Amanda's attention to detail, her thoughtfulness for her client and her work ethic. Hope to work with her again in the future.”

Fun facts
What do you consider your style to be?
Our style is refined and sophisticated with a bit of modern flair. We love clean, simple and classic design with unique touches that represent the couple. Whether it be by the ocean, in a vineyard or on a mountain, we like to bring a sense of warmth, comfortability and sophistication anywhere we go!
We love working with couples who are fun, unique, kind and have a good sense of humor. One of the best parts of this job is how close we get to our couples over the course of the year (sometimes longer). It truly is so special and unique to wedding planning!
I (Amanda) first fell in love with weddings when I saw the movie Father of the Bride when I was just a kid. From that moment on, I was obsessed with weddings. I had the best time planning and designing my own wedding but realized that I was in no way am expert. I decided that I wanted to learn about what makes an event truly memorable and comfortable and that I wanted to make a business out of doing just that! I spent a lot of time assisting luxury wedding planners as well as taking courses, attending lectures and researching how to provide a great wedding planning experience for the couple as well as how to produce a great wedding the guests will remember as fun, unique and comfortable.
Where do you find your design inspiration?
Inspiration can truly come from anywhere. I find that I look a lot to interior design and travel. I also love to find inspiration in unique stories or traditions that couples have together.
What is your favorite part about a wedding?
It's hard to choose just one, but we would say the first dance because we love to see what song each couple chooses (sometimes it's a complete surprise)! Then anytime we hear that song it reminds us of our couple!
