A.Carey Events

Owner, Head Planner

Hello! I’m Andrew, owner and lead planner at (personal information protected by Zola) Events. As a 15-year events industry veteran, I’ve valued being a part of weddings throughout the country, and especially along the East Coast. My company's name is an homage to my grandfather and my daughter, where we all share "Carey" in our name. I started in the industry planning events in college. Once in DC, I worked for a leading floral and décor company delivering over 500+ weddings. I enjoy partnering with couples and helping to execute their vision. It’s an honor to be trusted with such a momentous occasion, surrounded by so many people who are full of joy and love!

Andrew loves designing and executing special moments and helping to turn them into unforgettable memories. He carries this principle through planning each event to the last detail. Andrew excels on the wedding day, providing flawless execution to allow you to live into the memories!

    I truly can’t recommend Andrew enough! He was the best wedding planner I could have asked for—professional, organized, and such a calming presence throughout the entire process. From day one, he made everything feel seamless and stress-free. He not only managed every detail with care, but also taught me how to confidently negotiate with vendors, which was such a valuable skill. Andrew felt like both a planner and a partner, and having him by my side made the entire experience so much more enjoyable. If you’re looking for someone who will make your day perfect and guide you every step of the way, Andrew is your person!

    My husband and I had the absolute best experience working with A.Carey Events. We experienced the utmost professionalism throughout the entire planning process. Andrew truly listened to all of our wishes and concerns and ensured that our wedding proceeded flawlessly. Importantly, Andrew is extremely responsive to email, very detail-oriented and thoughtful, super organized, and well-connected with all of the local vendors. We would recommend A.Carey Events to anyone.

    Over the past year I have loved getting to work with Andrew for our wedding! From our initial meeting, I knew Andrew was going to be the best decision we made. I appreciated our check-in meetings, vendor recommendations, and mainly the support I felt. The meetings were extremely helpful- even if you think you have everything under control, I found myself having new tasks to complete after each one- Andrew seriously knows all the ins and outs of planning a wedding! I went into the wedding planning process with a lot of visions, Andrew assured me he would help in any way he could to make them happen. Our wedding day turned out better than we could have imagined. We were and still are in love with our ceremony set up, to the reception layout and how flawless the timeline felt. We loved every moment and would recommend A.Carey events to anyone for any event!!

    Working with Andrew was such a great experience! Our wedding was beautiful beyond our imagination. We loved every moment of it. We wanted a wedding that could reflect our own values, cultures, and aesthetics instead of adhering to conventions. Andrew really helped us achieve that goal. He was attentive, communicative, and resourceful. He listened to our needs and recommended many venues and vendors so that we could find the ones that were the best fit for us. Even with our very, very small wedding, there were so many decisions to make and so many logistics to attend to and coordinate. Having Andrew made the whole process a lot more manageable. He was an amazing guide and source of support. On the day of the wedding (and the many weeks before), we felt calm and relaxed, knowing that all the details were taken care of. We cannot recommend Andrew enough!
