caitlin mcdonald

Hi lovers! I’m Caitlin McDonald, Owner, and Lead Designer of Caitlin McDonald Events and an Oregon native. I married after years waiting through the pandemic and just recently became a mom to the sweetest little girl.

​

I started my business after several years directing events at a luxury villa in the Bay Area. It was there that I learned just how crucial every logistical detail is to ensure a smooth wedding day and where I fell head over heels for the wedding industry.

​

My passion for wedding planning and design is rooted in my ultimate love for hosting, cooking, and interior design. Daily, you can catch me trying a new recipe, swapping out the linens on our table or binging Food Network. I’m a host at heart and creating delicious and beautiful meals on an exquisite table really is my love language.

​

The signature style of CME embodies rich textures, carefully curated inventory and heavy hitting installations of florals, lighting, and other impactful elements. I’m also 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 CME, you can expect head turning experiences, distinct design and unforgettable memories curated by a wedding planner that advocates for you and ensures you never go a minute with an empty glass.

We were born to host. At the heart of what we do is the calling to gather loved ones around an exquisite table and a beautiful meal. We embody this for our clients and their love stories -- creating the same feelings of joy and warmth for their people as if they were our own.

Every detail is intentional. From a color palette to a floral design to the arrangement of your chairs, each choice was made with purpose in mind. We collaborate with our clients and vendors to design gatherings that are a bold reflection of our clients. The outcome? A creatively curated event unique to each client.

Couples that work with us share a love for hosting, the effect of texture and intentional design. It is the bond that we build that allows us to freely create without limit for our clients. 

Personal connection drives our portfolio above all else, which secures our reputation for perfection.

Each project we work on features it's own distinct design. Our clients' weddings are a new jewel in our crown -- each one exquisite and rare. We prioritize flawless design choices that reflect the space we work in, the story we're helping to tell and the legacy that love writes on all our hearts.
