Destination Weddings Done Right:
Events by Evonne, Wedding Planning and Design
Your wedding should be all about you, naturally: your needs, your wants
and your vision. Your event planner, then, needs to be there to
service, especially if you’re in the market for a destination wedding.
Your go to? Evonne Wong of Events by Evonne.
Evonne specializes in a style she calls “simple elegance,” with her
region of expertise Hawaii and Northern California. “We try to achieve
a look that is more simple, not over the top,” said Evonne. |

“People think
that because the event is in Hawaii, it is more casual but it is not
that way at all! I like a more fashionable, more urban look if I can.
Of course it depends on the bride, but I like to have some more style.”
From designing an outdoor destination wedding in Hawaii to an elegant
ballroom affair in San Francisco, Events by Evonne can cater events
both large and intimate.
As of resident of both locales, Evonne has an extensive list of vendors and contacts to draw upon.
Events by Evonne is based around Evonne’s belief in strong customer service and personal attention. “I genuinely love weddings and I really care about my clients,” she said. “Clients have to feel comfortable with me because I really get into their lives. Otherwise, I can’t bring their vision to their wedding.”
Her cardinal rules? “Never let emails sit for more than 24 hours and always acknowledge a voicemail, especially regarding destination weddings.”
A certified wedding consultant with a background in advertising, event planning and an MBA in business administration, Evonne fully understands each aspect of the business of wedding planning.
As a full-service boutique event planning, coordination and design company, Events by Evonne is able to fully customize the entire experience from selecting the color palette to finding you an officiate to selecting that perfect favor. Evonne is even available to accompany clients on scouting trips to the desired venue and location.
Events by Evonne has already caused a buzz since the founding in October of 2007. Wedding Wire saluted Events by Evonne with the Bride’s Choice award and Away Soiree deigned Evonne’s blog, which she updates daily and uses as a way to connect with future and current clients, in their top 100 this year. Events by Evonne weddings have also been featured on blogs such as Style Me Pretty and Project Wedding.
Evonne’s most noteworthy accomplishment, however? “It’s when the client or their guests approach me at the end of the evening to tell me how much they have enjoyed the wedding and it totally exceeded their expectations,” she said.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!

#16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
Reception spaces are taking on a comfort
theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are
creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy
furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and
draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You
may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry
ambiance. Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers! You can also
use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!

#26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really
important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond
with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to
tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the
celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.
