And Beyond Events

✨ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT | PT.1 ✨

Okay I am too eager to wait until later to share…
Our sweet, amazing, and extremely talented friend just shared some sneak peek of the headshots she took of me the other day. And I figured what a better way to announce that they are officially joint the &Beyond team as one of our in-house photographers!! 🪩

And not just because we have been fiends for 12+ years, I couldn’t recommend her more. Watching each other grow into who we have become has been so special. She made me feel so comfortable, we had so much fun, and her work truly speaks for itself.

Cheers to many, many more weddings together 🍾✨

PT. 2 coming to your feed tomorrow 💛

It is with a heavy heart to say we lost such a special person to not just my self, , but to SO many others, Rhonda Daniels.

There is so many words I want to say about her because she made it so easy to. Rhon was our in house rentals ( ), animal lover, an amazing mom, DIY crafting and thrifting queen. She all around was just one badass of a woman.

One of her wishes is for anyone to donate to the in her honor. So with that being said for the remaining of 2026 we will be donating $10 of every $100 rental order (within our in house decor rentals). AND ✨every month of May✨ for the foreseeable future, we will donate a percentage of our total rental sales for that month to the humane society. We can call it “Rhonda’s Rescue Rentals”???

Love you so much, Rhon, missing you so dang much. 🌼

( had to use a song because she was one of their biggest fans ✨)

We really should start making bets on how many times you will hear Lauren say in just one day:
• “where’s my clipboard”
• “have you seen my clipboard?”
• “let me find my clipboard first”
• “welp, that’s not my clipboard”
• “…can I see your clipboard..?”
• “ 🤷🏼‍♀️ my clipboard 🤷🏼‍♀️”

Winner doesn’t have to be a part of (1) sparkler exit of choice

✨ Shoutout to my assistants always keeping an eye on it for me 😉

Last year I hit a hard burnout after our 2025 season- and not because of anything the clients, vendors, or our staff did. I was learning what my “sweet spot” of the amount of work to take on and just boundaries in general. (Also please ignore the millennial duck face pose)

So with that being said- I just did 5 events in 4 weeks and it was the best way to kick off our season. But, I want to avoid burnout again and listen to my body so I can continue to show up as the planner I promised to everyone. So I will be taking the next week off to get my at home life back in order and recharge so I can follow through with that promise 💛

Let’s get these love birds married! It’s officially Ellie & Noah’s wedding week and we are so excited for this weekend! See you at ✨💛

The wedding and event planning industry does not typically have returning clients. Happy we can say one of our sweetest clients has asked us to help with their daughter, Rachel’s, NC State Graduation party in Raleigh this Saturday!

Excited to help her celebrate such a huge milestone with her closest friends and family 💛 Congratulations !

We had the opportunity to dip our toes into a little bit of different scene than what you’re used to seeing us work on! music festival let me join their team as this years vendor coordinator. ✨

So, our “out of office” will start today as I will be headed to Raleigh, NC to set up camp and get ready for the vendors to start arriving on Thursday. We will be back at our computers on Monday, May 4th.
