THE BEHIND THE SCENES OF CAITLIN MCDONALD EVENTS
CAITLIN MCDONALD - OWNER & LEAD DESIGNER
Whether I'm curating the perfect menu on a warm summer evening for family and friends, or reimagining the interior of my home, or designing over the top weddings, my style is always led by the experience that I want guests to have from the moment they land on your website, to the second they arrive for a gathering.
My signature style embodies rich textures, bold colors, and thoughtful floral design. I’m a sucker for al fresco dining and beautifully hand selected chairs because who doesn’t love good food, beautiful views, and a comfy seat at the table?
​
With a background in live sports production (Go Ducks!) and luxury venue management, I have over a decade of experience in logistics, planning and problem solving from commercial breaks to hours long wait times with PG&E during an unexpected power outage. I know exactly what it takes to advocate directly for my clients, and more importantly, understand how impactful a design can be on the flow of an event. ​​
​
With CME, you can expect head turning experiences, distinct design and unforgettable memories curated by a wedding planner that passionately advocates for you and ensures you never go a minute with an empty glass.

SEE OUR WORK
"Caitlin was the best wedding planner any girl or couple could ask for. I did not take the decision lightly to choose a wedding planner, and I’m so grateful I found Caitlin. Caitlin answered all emails, texts and phone calls. I felt I could reach out at any moment and Caitlin would be there. (And yes, there were some 911 texts and Caitlin was ALWAYS there to save the day!) Caitlin took the time to truly understand my vision for my wedding. She gave her thoughts and opinions too, which was insightful to make sure all ran smoothly. Caitlin supported me with finding all vendors and I can’t stress the value of how crucial Caitlin’s relationships are with each vendor. These vendors would bend over backwards for Caitlin, and knowing how much they trusted her, it made me trust Caitlin even more! All my vendors worked SO WELL together and it truly felt like a family on wedding day… which made the day even MORE FUN. (All because of Caitlin’s relationships with them)
On wedding day, I felt so taken care of - no ask was too big. Truly. Caitlin checked in consistently to make sure my husband and I had everything we wanted/needed. I would hire Caitlin again in a heart beat. Thank you, Caitlin, for EVERYTHING you did for my husband and I to make our dream wedding come true. It was perfect and beautiful. RUN, do not walk, to HIRE CAITLIN for your wedding planner!!!"
