Sound planning guidance, innovative design concepts, and warm, friendly people.
Here's what sets us apart.
We value close relationships with our clients, ones full of humor, creativity, and trust, and we aim to wow and delight without any of the aloofness that can often accompany luxury service. You deserve to feel at ease and completely comfortable with the team putting together such an important experience in your lives.
ABOUT us
To us, it's all about quality.
We're the kind of people who would rather own one high-quality cashmere sweater than multiple fast-fashion garments. The same concept applies to the weddings we produce and all that we've achieved since the start of East Made Co in 2016.
Achiever, optimist, tastemaker, lighting enthusiast, and an all-around sense of chill. Elizabeth exudes the most encouraging kind of confident Leo energy without taking anything too seriously. She has a quick-witted sense of humor, loves travel, culture, and cuisine, and is decisive and forward-thinking. Her wedding-day energy is calm yet driven, and her background in classical music has shaped her attention to detail and appreciation for the arts, fashion, and interior design.
