Purposely Designed Event Planning

Owner and Lead Planner

Purposely Designed Event Planning is more than a planning and coordination company. We allow you to live out my dreams, and bring your visions to life (yes, even if you have no idea what they are yet). Our team is dedicated to transforming your anxiety into stress-free fun. We began our journey planning weddings for couples in Charlotte, North Carolina, and have expanded into a multi-tiered company with a nationwide clientele. We are dedicated planners committed to providing extraordinary, seamless, “without-a-hitch” events.

We are not only plan and coordinate events, but we also offer a 360 photo booth rental to take your wedding to the next level. Our Owner and Lead Planner is also a travel agent that is equipped to handle all destination and domestic travel needs.

In three words: Creative, Organized, Resourceful

    The best planner for the BEST day!

    Our day was absolutely seamless thanks to Patrice and her team! We could focus entirely on our ceremony, without worrying about anything else. Patrice orchestrated everything behind the scenes flawlessly. From start to finish, it wasn’t just a day—it was a smooth process. If you want someone in your corner, working with vendors and keeping things stress-free, Patrice is the one. 10/10!

    Patrice is absolutely phenomenal! Working with her and the team was such a dream and she made our wedding experience so special. My stress levels were low and our day was amazing because of her… and my husband and I thank you so much!

    Brought wedding ideas to life!

    My husband and I had our wedding in August 2023 which Patrice was our wedding planner. She stepped in when we had to let another planner go due to creative differences and Patrice made sure our wedding was exactly what we wanted! I’m a detailed person so I REALLY loved that she provides detailed instructions to the entire wedding party and vendors for where they’re supposed to be and what to do down to the minute! She brought vision to life (including displaying our mother’s actual wedding dresses during the reception) and remained calm through the whole process. Would definitely recommend her services if you are in search for an event planner!

    Awesome Planning Professionals!

    Patrice and her team are the ultimate professionals! They’re on time and super organized. Fabulous to work with.


We are fully dedicated to our clients. Therefore we only have one wedding per weekend. This allows us to make you and your partner our #1 priority.
Yes! We love to meet our couples all over the country. Our owner and lead planner is also a travel agent, so destination locations are never an issue. We travel up to 35 miles outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, in all directions without extra charge.
That’s an amazing add-on that your venue has. A venue coordinator’s top priority is the venue. Our? It’s you. Unlike a venue coordinator, we will ensure that all vendors and your wedding party are aware of the key timelines on your big day.
Absolutely. We believe love is love. We are more than happy to work alongside LGBTQ clients, those of different abilities and more. We prioritize being not only a safe space on your special day but for your self-expression and identity.
