CELEBRATE EVERYTHING

My Philosophy:

Big family dinners where you can hardly hear the person next to you over the boisterous crowd. Couples game night with your bestie since second grade. A casual date night at your favorite winery.

n my world, it’s all worth celebrating. That’s why as your planner, I dedicate myself to surfacing the details that will make your wedding personal, memorable, and one-of a-kind. We’re going to work together to create an event that perfectly captures your identity as a couple. And we’re going to have a kickass time doing it.

“What you’ve done is amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.”

Those words, spoken to me by a bride during the first wedding I ever planned, made my heart pound with excitement and filled me with true joy. It was at that moment that I knew I had found my life’s passion. Events and bringing people together is what I believe I was truly meant to do, and I love every second of it. I've collaborated with some of the most inspiring vendors and clients, and can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.

Aside from curating stunning design presentations, crafting airtight timelines, and showering my couples with love, you can find me curling up with my pup Ollie, scoping out the latest fashion trends, taking an impromptu getaway, or indulging in the occasional dance floor twerk.

IT STARTED WHEN SHE TOLD ME:

My Inspiration

My family has always been the driving force behind everything I do, especially my grandmother. I admire her deep passion for community, her strong faith, and her ability to see the beauty in everything and everyone. Her zest for life inspired my love for design, event planning, and desire to start my own business.

My grandma is my light and I strive to bring joy to my couples in the same way she brings light to my family. 

Physically located in Boston. Mentally located along the sun-drenched shores of Italy.

You feel me? As a lifelong New Englander, I adore the rich history, classic architecture, and coastal beauty of the region. But my Italian blood runs deep and I draw a well of inspiration from the beautiful colors, patterns, and textures of Italy. Planning a destination wedding? Say less. My bags are already packed and my passport at the ready.

“I instantly fell in love with Carissa’s personality and passion for wedding planning”

“Carissa goes above and beyond to make your wedding day as special and stress free as possible. Our day would have looked a lot different if it wasn’t for the planning and coordinating from CCE. Carissa, thank you so much for your patience, grace, and help through the planning process and for your professionalism, expertise, and love during our big day! We had our dream wedding and couldn’t have done it without you we are so thankful to have met you”

Our Approach

We believe it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of you as a couple. Your planner should approach situations through the lens of what YOU want, rather than imposing their own preferences. That's why we take the time to build an authentic relationship with you and your partner throughout the planning process.
