Stunning, Strategic Event Planning in Maryland that leaves you feeling awed. That’s Planned Elegance.
We are your strategic partners in event design, planning, and florals for corporate and personal events. We strike the balance between logistics and style, ensuring that your voice is amplified throughout the event.
As an event planner backed by years of experience, I understand the pressure that goes into planning the perfect event. From staying up to date on trends, ensuring you stay on budget, and hoping that your guests will walk away bragging about the event, there’s a lot of thought that goes into the process.
While it’s normal to be nervous in the beginning, I take the load off so that you can focus on what’s most important - driving results at what you do best. I bring my expertise to the table, delivering an event that you can sit back and enjoy.

Planning and Design that Elevates Your Vision
When you work with Planned Elegance, you’re gaining a partner in your event planning journey from day one. I don’t believe in gatekeeping and strive to provide resources so that you have a better understanding of the event planning process, before you even sign a contract.
My number one priority is to ensure that your unique voice, or your company’s voice, is showcased in your event. I approach event planning from an analytical perspective, paying attention to the behind-the-scenes details that most don’t.
Planned Elegance Experience
"I do not know where to begin,..
- Lavern Garner
we have used her services years back for one of my grandson's birthday party, and she did an awesome job. For my daughter's 35th surprise birthday party her services were awesome, beautiful, and elegant. All of the guests including my daughter were very impressed. Some of the guests said it looked like something out of a magazine. I wish I could post photos. It was so beautiful. We will continue to use her services forever. She will also work with you to fit your budget, which is really important. Once you use her services you will not want to go to anyone else."

She also had resources available to assist us in making our event a success we did not have to struggle to get other vendors that were needed she took care of everything.
