Monroe Event Co. is a luxury wedding planning studio based in Washington D.C. Our team of devoted planners and designers share a passion for crafting refined, artfully curated celebrations. We serve couples throughout Washington DC, Virginia, the Lake Como.
About the Studio
At our core, we are a team of devoted romantics — designers, planners, and storytellers who believe in the quiet power of a thoughtfully crafted moment. To us, weddings are more than timelines and logistics; they are living expressions of love and legacy. We approach every celebration with a balance of artistry and intention, guiding you through the planning process with a calm, grounded presence and an unwavering eye for beauty.
We believe that intimacy isn’t about size — it’s about feeling. Whether your celebration unfolds in a historic D.C. estate or along the shores of Lake Como, our work is rooted in creating experiences that feel personal, tactile, and emotionally resonant. Through refined design, meaningful details, and a deep respect for your story, we craft weddings that feel like an extension of who you are.
With timeless design as our compass and your love story as our inspiration, we are honored to create celebrations that linger — long after the candles fade and the night ends. A day that feels effortless, exquisite, and unforgettable.
We are an event planning studio based in Washington, D.C., specializing in celebrations that feel deeply intimate and artfully curated.
At Monroe Event Co., we believe in the kind of love stories that never go out of style — the ones that make you pause, smile, and remember what really matters. Maybe it comes from growing up on a steady rotation of romantic comedies and weekend dinner parties, but we’ve always believed that beauty and connection belong together. That’s what we bring to every celebration we plan: warmth, intention, and a touch of cinematic charm.
Our approach is rooted in collaboration. We listen closely, plan thoughtfully, and design with meaning — ensuring every decision reflects who you are and how you want your day to feel. From timeless estates in Virginia to destination weddings along Lake Como, our team works to create celebrations that feel effortless, elegant, and entirely your own.
At the heart of it all, we’re here to make the planning process feel joyful. To guide, advocate, and handle the details, so you can be fully present for what matters most — celebrating the start of your story together.
I founded Monroe Event Co. to bring a sense of calm, clarity, and care to the planning process. My team and I work closely with couples who value beauty, authenticity, and connection — those who want their wedding to feel like them, only elevated. Whether in the heart of D.C., the rolling hills of Virginia, or along the shores of Lake Como, our work begins and ends with the same promise: to craft a celebration that honors your story and lingers in memory long after the day has passed.
With over a decade of experience across every facet of the wedding world — from florals and photography to full-scale event design — I’ve learned that the most memorable celebrations are those rooted in meaning. My approach is equal parts artistry and intention: refined enough to feel timeless, yet personal enough to reflect the people at the center of it all.
I'm Monroe Williams, a Washington D.C. based event planner devoted to designing once-in-a-lifetime worthy weddings & events.

The First Look, Always
Every element tells a story — from the color of the ribbon to the curve of a place card. At Monroe, we believe design is more than decoration; it’s an act of storytelling. We approach each event with an editorial eye and an artist’s hand, crafting atmospheres that feel timeless, tactile, and deeply personal.
Artistry in Every Detail
True luxury lies in restraint. Our process is guided by meaning, not trends — by creating experiences that reflect who you are, not just what’s expected. Every choice is deliberate, every detail purposeful, ensuring your celebration feels effortless, authentic, and entirely your own.
intention over excess
Wedding planning should be as beautiful as the day itself. We believe in slowing down, savoring the moments, and creating space for connection along the way. Through a calm, considered process, we help you stay grounded in what matters most — love, legacy, and the joy of becoming.
