A.Carey Events

Owner, Head Planner

Hello! I’m Andrew, owner and lead planner at A.Carey 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!

In three words: Confident, Honest, Thoughtful

  • Our wedding thanks to Andrew

    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!

    I was the DJ for a wedding that Andrew was the planner for. He was the most attentive. He started corresponding with me 2 weeks out, and continued with emails through the week of the wedding. The day of, he was around and available for anything that was needed. I had several questions through the day and he was always with the couple making sure things were just right. He is absolutely one of the best planners I have worked with in 15 years. Highly recommend! I would love to work with him again!

    I feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with Andrew and A.Carey Events for my wedding! I quickly realized once I was engaged that I had NO IDEA how to begin to plan or visualize my day. I had no sense of the details and special touches that would bring the best day of my life into magic. This is why I cannot recommend A.Carey events enough! Andrew and his team immediately took the stress off my shoulders while also making sure my ideas were flushed out but also taken up a notch. We stayed easily in budget while including so many personal touches part of our day. Andrew was very organized, efficient, creative and knowledgeable. He is well connected and was able to communicate on my behalf with all the vendors. He helped me with a timeline and encouraged me along the way. Having them for my entire wedding planning plus a day of coordinator was ideal. I was focused on marrying the love of my life and the wedding and reception were perfect. It was a dream to work with them and I highly recommend for a wedding or any event!

  • Attentive, professional and knoweldgeable!
