Our Story

At C.C. Monroe Event Design, we believe luxury should feel personal not pretentious. As a full-service event planning and design studio, we create experiences that are thoughtful, elevated, and rooted in authenticity. Whether it’s a wedding, brand experience, or private celebration, every event begins with your story. We listen closely, design thoughtfully, and craft moments that feel as inviting as they are unforgettable.

For us, planning isn’t just about logistics, it’s about connection. We believe collaboration fuels creativity, and every detail is an opportunity to reflect who you are. With C.C. Monroe, you’re not just planning an event, you’re creating an experience that leaves a lasting impression.

April Gray

owner|Lead Designer

At C.C. Monroe, we believe that event planning is deeply personal. Every celebration begins with a story…yours, and it’s my greatest joy to bring it to life with intention, creativity, and care.

What sets me apart isn’t just my eye for design, but my approach. I value connection over quantity, intentionally limiting the number of events I take on each year so I can truly invest in my clients. I take the time to listen, to understand your vision, and to create a planning experience that feels collaborative, calm, and personal.

Event planning is a creative adventure; one built on trust, laughter, and shared excitement. I’m continually honored and humbled when couples invite me into their world to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
