  Meet Wendy.

Wendy is a passionate wedding and event planner who combines her expertise in the industry with her clients’ visions to create one-of-a-kind celebrations. Whether it’s an intimate mountain wedding, a corporate yacht event in France, or a multi-day tech conference, attention to detail is what makes her events stand out.

While planning, she leans into her natural creativity while being meticulously organized. Her ability to navigate logistical challenges, manage an immense team of vendors, and adhere to a timeline (all while remaining calm and poised) are some of her most valuable assets.

Originally from Northern Michigan, Wendy is down-to-earth and practical by nature.

Wendy Evelyn Events has been operating for 13 years and is currently based in Birmingham, Michigan.

  • “Wendy was incredibly organized, professional, and detail-oriented. (No detail was too small for her to consult on!) She listened carefully to both of us and helped us make thoughtful and intentional decisions for our ceremony, design, and timeline. Wendy's wealth of experience, sharp eye for aesthetics, and thoughtful consideration of our unique preferences made our wedding day truly magical and stress-free. “

    Emily & Nick

  • “Wendy is a brilliant event manager who will always come up with a creative idea to solve problems. She navigates through obstacles with grace and professionalism and has extraordinary interpersonal and client management skills. Her attention to detail combined with a constantly positive attitude makes it a pleasure to work with her. “

    Client, Young Presidents' Organization

  • We cannot put into words how amazing Wendy is as a person and to work with as an event planner. She took the time to get to know us and our interests and that was her main priority. Her detail oriented spreadsheets were beyond helpful, her patience with us (whenver we changed our mind) and her willingness to meet and event to answer late-night calls made us feel important. She is truly a gem and we already miss her!
