Hi, I’m Carissa LaRue!
I'm the founder and lead planner at LaRue Luxe Events. My journey in the wedding industry began in 2021, but my passion for planning, love stories and creating memorable celebrations has been with me for as long as I can remember. As someone who's been married to the love of my life since 2019, I understand firsthand how important it is for your wedding day to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of.
My husband and I welcomed our beautiful little girl through IVF in 2022, and that experience has deepened my appreciation for the love, hope, and joy that come with every new chapter in life. I bring that same heart and dedication to every wedding I plan, striving to make each one as unique and special as the couples I work with.
At LaRue Luxe Events, my goal is to make your wedding planning process seamless and stress-free, so you can enjoy every moment leading up to your big day. From the intricate details to the grand moments, I’m here to bring your vision to life, ensuring that your wedding reflects your love story in every way possible.
I can't wait to help make your wedding day dreams come true!
The APPROACH
At LaRue Luxe Events, my approach to wedding planning is all about personalization, collaboration, and thoughtful design. I believe that every couple's love story is unique, and your wedding should reflect who you are as individuals and as a couple. My role is to be your guide, advocate, and creative partner throughout the process.
I start by truly getting to know you—your vision, style, and priorities—so I can tailor every aspect of planning to your needs. From the first consultation to the final details, I focus on open communication, ensuring that your voice is heard and your dreams are brought to life.
I’m detail-oriented yet flexible, so whether you have a clear vision or need help refining your ideas, I’m here to make the process seamless and enjoyable. From vendor coordination to managing timelines and design elements, I handle the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: enjoying your engagement and looking forward to the celebration.
Above all, my goal is to create a stress-free experience that allows you to feel confident and excited as your wedding day approaches. I bring creativity, organization, and a calm presence to each event, ensuring everything is flawless and reflective of your personal style.
Together, we'll bring your dream wedding to life in a way that feels effortless, elegant, and authentically you.
