Think two Kates. Kate Middleton with a twist of Kate Hudson and you've got me...
Marla Lawson, 
a girl that makes sour event planning a sweet design full of possibilities. 


An artist’s daughter who was raised around paintings made from the natural world; Marla Lawson, found her own creative niche and began to illustrate her vocation in individual inventive design. Every event  begins with a sketch, the outline of each client’s love story. This story unfolds organically into a thoughtful and strategic layout. Each color and element chosen is specifically selected to illustrate her passion for event design. Marla is known for capturing the love stories of her clients and reflecting the details throughout every production. Attention to detail in her work elements will have you say “that’s marla” coined by many of her clients. Every detail is purposefully tailored to you.

 "OH MY" is a phrase I'm known for by friends and family. You will likely hear me say this more than once...so much so it could even appear in one of my emails! 

"Oh MY"


After the thrill of "I said yes”, leave the rest to me. The time during your engagement is special and as your planner and time ambassador, I will make every minute count.

Wedding planning to me isn't just putting a date on the calendar and booking a client. I find joy in learning the style, the culture and story of each couple throughout the process. Attention to detail in my work elements will leave you saying, “thatsmarla” coined by many of my clients. Every detail is tailored to you.
