About Monarch Creative Events
Monarch Creative Events
Your dream event? It’s finally within reach. It takes a lot to plan a fun, fantastic wedding that’s totally you. It’s hard freakin’ work. If you’re looking for a fairy godmother, don’t hire us. We don’t have magic wands - we have experience and a proven planning method. And those things can actually give you the wedding of your dreams. If you’re looking for a no BS, tell-it-how-it-is planning experience, we’re your gals.
Who really has time to plan a wedding? “Yeah, let me just find an extra 300 hours in my life to knock this out” - said no one ever. Money might not be able to buy you happiness, but it can buy you time, peace of mind, and a stress-free wedding day. Investing in the right places can actually help you save when all is said and done. Couples underestimate their budget by nearly 45%. And once you’ve gone over budget, it’s nearly impossible to get back on track. We’ve got the smarts and the skills to give you exactly what you want, within a reasonable budget. And we’ll have a ton of fun along the way!

Best Wedding Planners
We loved working with the wedding planner Sara from Monarch. Planning the wedding was so stressful until we started working with Sara and would recommend her to anyone. She’s easy to talk to and helped guide us when making difficult planning decisions. Sara also had her work cut out for her when about a month before our wedding the contact at our wedding venue left. Sara was able to help carry over all of our wedding details to the new contact. She also coordinated all of the logistics I didn’t even think of (like walkthroughs with vendors for example). On wedding day, Sara and assistant, Kayla, made sure we stayed on track with our timeline so my husband and I could enjoy the day. Thank you Sara and Kayla for making our wedding so memorable!
Collaborations have been wonderful!
As a fellow wedding planner, I’ve been fortunate enough to collaborate with Monarch on private events and weddings, and I’m so grateful we met. The team is super responsive and great to work with! Alexa assisted us on an enormous three venue wedding day, and I don’t know how I could have done it without her. She kept me up to date all day at one venue while I was able to tend to matters off site with the wedding party and couple. Highly recommend her and the team for their organization skills and ease of communication!
NYE bride
Alexa and her team were lifesavers! Hired them late in the game for our large NYE wedding and they were wonderful! We are forever grateful for all the help and making sure all the details were handled.
AMAZING Team
Monarch Creative Events; took my vision and made it come true!! Being a new mom and business owner Alexa and her team were so helpful in helping me plan, execute and live my dream nontraditional wedding I didn't know I had! 2 months later we still wish we could relive our wedding exactly how it happened! I truly trusted MCE to make the decisions needed for decorating/theme of my wedding! Everyone is so sweet and personable they made every planning aspect fun and non stressful! I would and have recommended them to EVERYONE!!
