About Evermore Occasions
Evermore Occasions
Like many in the industry, I fell in love with planning weddings when I started planning my own in 2017. At the time, I was a corporate lawyer at a big firm in DC and it just hit me: I was totally in the wrong field! Since then, I have dedicated all of my free time to arranging my own events, helping my friends plan their own, and dreaming of the day that I could provide the same service for others.
My approach is simple: hear, help, and handle. I am here for YOU, to make sure you are getting all you want and need on your momentous day, with as little stress as possible. Your event is unlike anyone else’s, and you will never be just another client to me. Let’s chat about how I can help you commit to the love of your life in style.

Carmen and the Evermore Team Are Exceptional!!
My husband initially chose Carmen because they went to the same school, and I have to admit, I was sceptical. I worried it might end up being two against one. I could not have been more wrong. From the very beginning, Carmen treated both of us as individuals and worked tirelessly to merge our ideas into one beautiful, cohesive event that felt authentically us. One of the first signs that she was the right fit came after our initial meeting. We shared a frustrating story about another planner who refused to work with us unless we increased our (already healthy) budget. Carmen immediately took our budget seriously and promised to make magic within it, and on that, she delivered. Even while she was going through a difficult time personally, she remained a consummate professional. We would never have known what she was facing because she always made us feel like her top priority. Whether it was a late evening Zoom to accommodate my teaching schedule or a weekend email reply, she was always responsive, thoughtful, and fully invested in making our vision come to life. Carmen also connected us with the perfect vendors. She knew exactly who would match our personalities and bring our ideas to life. Our photographer captured the day in a way that still takes our breath away, our florist executed our language of flowers vision flawlessly, and our DJ kept the dance floor packed all night long. Each vendor felt like an extension of us, and that was entirely due to Carmen’s insight, relationships, and ability to see who would be the right fit for our style and energy. We came into the process with very strong opinions about certain things and complete indifference about others. Carmen gently helped us understand how each element contributed to a cohesive vision. When she needed to steer us in a better direction, she did so respectfully and with clear professional reasoning, never dismissing our ideas, but showing us how to elevate them. On the day of the wedding, we truly had zero cares. I had been anxious because my family can be… let’s say, “passionately opinionated.” Carmen took the time to understand the dynamics and navigated every idiosyncrasy with grace and diplomacy. She managed to honour everyone’s opinions while still protecting our vision. My family felt respected, and I felt completely at ease, which I did not think was possible! Our wedding day exceeded every expectation we had. At the end of the night, we even convinced Carmen to join us at the after-party for a drink, a moment that made it clear she was not just our planner. She had become a friend. We can not wait to include her in the personal milestones to come, not just as a planner, but as someone who has become part of our lives. We cannot recommend Carmen and the Evermore team enough. They are talented, organised, kind, and utterly dedicated.
Perfectly perfect in every way
I simply don’t have words to express how amazing Carmen and her team are. When I tell you we hit every obstacle (think starting with a venue that was under construction) I mean it and yet Carmen walked us through the process with grace, compassion, and expertise. She was an utter joy to work with and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I was 3,000 miles away from my venue and vendors and there was never an issue. Evermore made everything work with my schedule having meetings when it was convenient for me and scheduling walk throughs when I was in the area. Even my now husband who did not enjoy one bit of the process woke up the morning after saying how amazing the team was.
Stress free and beautiful day
From the very beginning, we knew Carmen was the right choice. She’s not only an amazing planner but also a gifted designer who is so organized and so creative. We didn’t have a clear vision of what we wanted our wedding to look like, but Carmen helped us discover it together and then brought it to life. We absolutely loved how everything turned out, and it was more perfect than we could have imagined. Her vendor recommendations were also spot-on, and we felt confident trusting anyone she suggested. Between monthly check-ins and her quick, thoughtful responses to all my (many!) questions, we always felt supported throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, Carmen and her team handled everything flawlessly so we could focus on enjoying the celebration with our friends and family. We truly were able to just be present on our wedding day knowing that Carmen had everything handled. Hiring Carmen was easily the best decision we made. We cannot recommend Evermore Occasions enough!
Best Investment for Our Wedding
Carmen and the entire Evermore Occasions team are a must hire for your wedding. Carmen is kind, patient and understanding. She helped us build our dream wedding. Her monthly zoom calls (which turned into 2x a month in the final months before the wedding) were extremely helpful to ensure that everyone was on the same page. Carmen is an amazing advocate for couples especially when working with difficult vendors. We hired Carmen to support with our design and she really knocked everything out of the park. She understood our vision and helped us turn our dreams into a reality. Carmen attended our catering tasting, rental meeting, and floral meetings with us to ensure that our design was cohesive. On our wedding day, Carmen ensured that everything went seamlessly and went above and beyond by having a meteorologist on call to ensure that our guests didn’t get rained on. Carmen and the entire team at evermore occasions was by far the best investment we made for our wedding! Carmen is a true Wonder Woman, and we are enormously glad to have worked with her! I would highly recommend Carmen and her team to any couple getting married!
