the approach
Events The Way You Want Them.
If you ask any LVE clients my most said phrase, they'll tell you this:
"You don't have to do anything."
I live and stand by that. I have found that there is an elegance to marrying the integration of traditional etiquette with throwing the rulebook out the window. Whether you are looking for innovative design, over the top culinary selections, or out of the box entertainment, I don't live inside the confines of the norm when it comes to any event. My only rule is that your spirit is at the heart of it and that it's shown in every intentional detail.

a peek into LVE
La Valse Events is the stuff of dreams.
I consistently feel honored by every couple that puts their trust in me and that this is how I get spent my days.
For the majority of my life (what feels like a past life now), my dream was to be a professional ballet dancer. The elegance, grace, and athleticism behind the art that is ballet still inspires me in my current career. That's where the name La Valse Events comes from. La Valse is French for The Waltz.; the traditional first dance at a wedding. While my day-to-day looks different than that of a professional ballet dancer, I still spend my day with choreography. Only now, it is your incredible events that I have the honor of choreographing.
In my free time, you can catch me doing a number of things. Most of the time, I can be found reading fashion and travel magazines for inspiration or reliving the comforts of my favorite classic romance movies with a glass of red wine & bowl of popcorn.
I am forever grateful that you're here & I can't wait to meet you.

"HER ONLY CONCERN IS MAKING HER COUPLES' DREAMS COME TRUE"
Jess is unbelievably good at her job and the world needs to know how wonderful she is. First, Jess is incredibly kind, patient and honest. It was clear from our first meeting through to our wedding, that her only concern is making her couples' dreams come true. She took the time to really get to know us, and because of that she was able to truly hone in on exactly what we were looking for and provide open and honest feedback in the process.
She gained our trust very quickly.
Most incredibly, she was able to manifest our vision of hodge-podge ideas into truly the most amazingly beautiful ceremony and reception we've ever attended. This also extended to not only creating something gorgeous and selecting the best vendors, but being exceptionally thoughtful about our budget.
We feel eternally grateful to have worked with something as truly exceptional as Jess and couldn't thank her any more for our perfect day.

Through her research and connections, she pulled together a stellar group of vendors within our budget all dedicated to their respective craft. This made our wedding day extra special.

She held me accountable on my budget and recommended vendors we felt most aligned with. She was there every step of the way, which I was so grateful for.

No detail was too small or overlooked—and she added her own unique style and flourish to my vision. She took in every word I said and beautifully choreographed my dream wedding.
