Reimagining event design through the intersection of high touch experiences, singular destinations and immersive storytelling, we'll create a red-letter soirée that's yours and yours alone. 

We'll help you discover your voice and tell your story through highly immersive designs and experiences, so you can have a footloose + fancy-free celebration that's simply legendary. You deserve it. 

DESTINATION WEDDING DESIGN, PLANNING & EDUCATION

We guide couples in designing and planning their perfect wedding away from home. Let's plan your smashing event and have a ball along the way!

Eternal nomads at our core, we feel like bona fide luck magnets to have assignments that take us all over the world alongside gracious and up-for-anything party animals that make the word fabulous seem like a severe understatement.

Like Slim Aarons, we go weak at the knees for beautiful people in beautiful places doing beautiful things. Sneak a peek at our portfolio of work to see just that!

Foxy fabrics. Irreverent humor. Cirque de fleurs. That's us. We're entering our Laura Gonzalez meets Kelly Wearstler era, and boy is it a colorful one.

On the days we're not courting local artisans for that triple whammy (place card, keepsake and cultural signifier), we're donning our math caps to polish up bouquet scale in relation to the bridal fashion or going eyeball deep in paint samples to ensure continuity between the custom décor elements and the entire day-of paper suite.

There's a subtle alchemy to a celebration that sings, and we take the business of making magic oh-so-seriously. What, like it's hard? 

Ever cheeky with an itch to charm (a hallmark we attribute to our Alabama origin stories), we treat each event like a Choose Your Own Adventure.

Through a smidgin' of merry little rendezvous, we'll learn exactly what puts some pep in your step and butterflies in your belly. But that's just the start of how we make an event feel effortless, winsome and bursting with joie de vivre...

Consider the whole kit and caboodle below our personal version of Women Tell All. Like London at Christmastime, we go all in.

Our Clients Are Sensational!

“It is not an exaggeration to say our wedding would not have happened without Alexis, Haley, and the Willow & Oak team. As an opinionated, design-centric couple with a very clear vision, we didn't make their job easy. From the moment we first got in touch with them, they went above and beyond to make it all work, all while balancing our family dynamics, budget, and (many) nonnegotiables.

When choosing wedding planners, we prioritized a team who was open to executing our vision, not theirs. We hired Willow & Oak because of the team behind them, especially Alexis, who met every request, late email, and idea with enthusiasm and kindness.

We had high expectations of W&O, and somehow they exceeded them. It’s hard to articulate the number of variables at play: sourcing and vetting vendors, site visits, contract negotiating, budgeting, coordinating logistics and details, communicating with guests...and Willow & Oak did it all while staying calm and positive.

You learn a lot throughout the wedding planning process only to seemingly never need to reuse this knowledge. One of the most important learnings is to surround yourself with vendors that contribute to the energy you want to have for the special day. Amidst what is inevitably a blur, Alexis and Haley's calm and positive energy is something that resonated.

Willow & Oak truly went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was everything we had hoped for and more, and we would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding planners that listen to who you are, what you want, and never hesitate to go above and beyond. "

Our no. 1 muse is you, but you don't have to ask us twice to riff on your vibe! Our approach is playful, unconventional and decidedly fresh. We believe that repetition is boring and that the most crowd-rousing moments are the ones that have yet to happen.... because they belong to you.
