Our Event Planning Philosophy: Guests should be pampered. Whether it’s a wedding, holiday party, or business event, the celebration is about you and your guests. And that’s why EJP Events goes the extra mile to ensure that every aspect of your event makes you and your attendees feel right at home. “Pampering” is not just about caviar, ice luges, and dreamy lighting (although our event and design team can make that happen) it’s also about taking care of people. It’s about the things that no one notices until they go wrong: signage, maps, logistics, itineraries, and accessibility.

Planning a Wedding isn’t easy to do alone. That’s why we opened Essence Event Productions. We plan amazing events for people who love hosting, but don’t have the time or expertise to hash out the details. We’ve been Planners since 2018 and with our combination of creativity and attention to detail making, we can guarantee a successful event. Chantel brings 6 years of hospitality and event planning experience. Chantel has successfully planned birthday parties, fundraisers, corporate meetings and events, engagement parties, weddings, and so much more. Chantel prides herself on impacting all her current and potential clients in a positive way.

Welcome! I’m Sheridan, owner of Eudora Weddings and full-time wedding fan. From perfecting an ultra-detailed timeline to brainstorming one-of-a-kind ideas to share a couple’s story, I get a thrill from every part of the wedding planning process. Creating a wedding experience that feels refined, timeless, and harmonious is a real joy. Each couple is unique, but my core values remain the same with everyone. I strive to be the person in your corner who is trustworthy, highly organized (so you don’t have to be), and a calming, grounding presence on your wedding day.
