Bespoke Creations for Every Moment

we live for the moments and the journey that gets us to them

Serving clients in the Southeast & Beyond

for stylish, down to earth clients

With a professional team of planners and stylists, specializing in all event types, we are obsessed with the process from finding the perfect venue, pairing the perfect colors, to the chaos of the set-up on the day of the event. We believe that we are most successful when we are happy in what we do, surrounding ourselves with the best vendor partners in the market. Taking care of our clients is always our main goal so they can sit back and relax, enjoying every moment without a worry in the world besides partying all night long.

Founder & Creator

Hi, I'm Alex -- Your interest and support mean the world to me! It’s hard to believe, but I knew from a young age that events are where I wanted to be. Having earned over a decade of experience as a Lead Event Coordinator and Designer, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Entrepreneurial Management from Coastal Carolina University, I’ve certainly learned a thing or two about weddings, corporate and social events.  

I love getting swept away in the research process as I’m exploring and creating new concept designs– I never like to do the same thing twice. I live for the moment unique to every event when I am able to stand back and watch all of my hard work come together. When I’m not devoting my time to QC Event Design, you can find me throwing a ball to my beloved golden retrievers, Charley and Lambeau, or experimenting with fun new recipes in the kitchen, unless it’s game day– in which case you’ll find me cheering the Green Bay Packers to victory with a spicy bloody mary in hand! I can’t wait to connect and discover the passions that uniquely drive you. Drop me a line and let’s get chatting!

get to know us better

Relax, we love a good challenge so you don’t have to.

If you give us creative freedom, we basically lose it and will come up with ALL of the ideas.

We have the knowledge and know-how (and a giant on-site kit with solutions to most of life's unforeseeable problems).

We are “extra” we just can’t help ourselves until we feel we’ve reached perfection.

We have the best time creating designs and proposals behind the scenes. This is always filled with over excitement after spending way too long looking for the most perfect inspo photo.
